[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cavsoldier19d:
First of all...switching to att is not what I would advise unless it somehow absolutely makes sense for your situation. I am only with ATT because I'm being held hostage by being grandfathered in to unlimited data. But I was in the same spot...vivid or sgs2 or the sgs2 skyrocket. I chose the og s2 because of better dev support, better battery, and lighter better hardware. I am not in a lte area, nor will my area be lte for the foreseeable future. So why spend more money on a phone that will get less battery life and have the same data speed as any other? It didn't take me long to come to my decision.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravizzle:
Ever since yesterday my notification light has opposite behavior. It stays on and red when no notifications, but when I get a text it will turn off. I hadn't done any changes and did a factory reset and reflashed a rom (calk 1.8.1) but still does that. Used led control lite from market and that fixes it but, I don't want to have to use that app to get normal behavior.

Anyone have any ideas or experienced anything similar?

Me and my mother are switching to At&t soon, and I'm kinda stuck. I have an Epic on Sprint now and development is top notch. Miui,cm7,cm9, sense ports are being worked on, its just great. What my issue is, is I can't figure out what phone to get. I'm stuck mostly between the HTC Vivid and the OG SGSII. Development is huge for me, I'm a terrible flashaholic. I NEED good stuff to flash such as cm, miui, and stuff like that. Benchmarks don't matter to me.. but development does.. what do you guys think I should do? I LOVE amoled displays, I'm not sure that an LCD could win me over, but you can try and convince me. Lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceasee:
Personally, i am in the midst of trying to sell my Vivid and get an SGSII

The SGSII is quite a lot faster and has INSANE amount of dev (**** ton of ROMs/MODs)

Personally I'd suggest the SGSII

(Also, wrong forum, should be in General rather then Dev) :P
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nbunn:
Oh ****.. I didn't realized I did that. Now I look like a ghetto noob. FML. Sorry everyone!! But good to know man. Yeah the sgsii has so many roms and stuff.. like holy ish. I thought about the skyrocket but it has like 2 roms. Heck no
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
I believe you already answered your own question. No miui, no amoled screen, only a handful of roms at the moment. It sounds like you should go with the SGS II. I truly think the vivid > SGS II but everyone will have their opinions.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wild Child:
samsung screen wasnt impressive nor was the camera....had both vivid and skyrocket gave skyrocket away for a present...kept the lg nitro and got another vivid for development...but to each their own ...build quality the samsung just feels cheap and not made with quality....all plastic everything...i like a heavy phone....went from inspire to vivid...good luck in your choice.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombie.raised:
Be care full which version of SGSII you get ,the LTE version or any version with snapdragon is not fast as the one with samsung processor.

But the LTE one for sure will have way better speeds for download , so pick what you use most,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mobb315:
The vivid screen looks way crispier imo. As far as roms all quality in this forum not to mention sense is the bomb.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drwario:
I got to admit sense is pretty amazing
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
No one should convince you what phone to get. Atm the OG SGSII satisfies the requirements you are looking for.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mbucks911:
skyrocket dev is really good too i had both gs2 and gs2 skyrocket on att. Skyrocket devs are working on getting aosp ics on it and plenty of fast themed roms that make the skyrocjet just as fast as the sgs2 plus the lte speeds which are amazing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] robertmoore208:
I had the Vivid for 30 days, traded for the galaxy sII for almost 30 days, hated it.. cartoony colors, and no Sense.. which I missed. So now I'm back to the Vivid... I love it and never should have left. But that's my opinion... Just do what feels right
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NIKKG:
I'm gonna stick to my Vivid until the quad core phones come out this spring. GSII is old and played out now. I'm waiting on the GSIII to be announced hopefully next month than I'm all over it. I'll even buy the international version of GSIII when it comes out instead of waiting 6 months for AT&T to get it. Right now, if nobody is desperate for a new phone, just wait a month until we see whats new at Mobile World Congress being held next month.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] N2itiv:
I can't speak for the SGSII, but as far as the Vivid goes - it's an adventure to say the least. Definitely gotta vouch for the overall build quality and feel of HTC over the Sammies. Development on the Vivid is coming along, and the ongoing development on the Vivid is very active with updates and interaction happening constantly. I feel like the Vivid development community is getting very close to hitting a key moment, at which time the breakthroughs will explode. Kinda like that moment in watching a movie when you just 'feel' that a key fact is about to be unveiled and the plot all starts to make sense. Just my opinion fwiw; ymmv and others may disagree :-)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] frostxinfinity:
It's more about, are you willing to wait for better ROM s and MODs. Personally, I'm an HTC fan all the way and the Vivid is yet another bad ass phone from them. Just because you can flash a ton of stuff to it..doesn't mean you will be happy with it. You basically answered your own question..you can modify the software, but you are stuck with the hardware.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Devin.Morris.007:
I have an HTC Vivid, and I have a friend that has a SGSII, so I have used it alot, and I would have to say that I much prefer my Vivid. Its faster and I like the Sense UI way more than TouchWiz. I also prefer the screen on my Vivid to the SGSII. It just seems brighter and more...well...vivid lol. So, If I had to do it again, I would still get the Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dxtra:
I think is a matter of preference. I have the skyrocket and bought the wife the white vivid. Here's my opinion I dislike sense it's not that bad I just think is bloated and overly complicated for no reason. Tw is less intrusive. But here's the problem I hate the build quality on the vivid it's too heavy and the screen brakes extremely easy( wifey broke the screen already lol) I preferred the light thing profile on the skyrocket plus the Amoled screen just stand out more. I just hate the feeling of metal on my phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NIKKG:
I had the Skyrocket, but the low resolution and overly saturated cartoony colors put me off.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
All I have to say is:

Check the chart - the figures don't lie. :D I love my Raider! :D

(Running HoliRaider 1.6 with the 1.5GHz kernel.. but the kicker was installing chainfire 3D and the plugins you can find with our pal google. Also, installing the plugins allowed me to run THD titles flawlessly. Just sayin'...)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Rekzer:
Congrats you beat a stock SGSII

My Telus(same as the T-mobile ver) goes way beyond what you got ..im running underclocked to 1.125ghz kernel and i just got 1112352541142..imagine at 1.5 :P

The dev is tons better for our phone since 4 carriers carry essentially the same phone. HTC phones have dull screens that are poor in sunlight. My friend just got this phone which is why im here lookin up stuff for him, and its not impressive at all.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
The screen on the Raider/Velocity/Vivid is excellent in producing accurate colors. GSII on the other hand is over saturated in color, but I will say it looks bright enough under the sun. Keep in mind that the if the Telus version is the same as the T-Mobile, then it shares the same processor as the Velocity. Performance in reality should be very similar, the difference you are seeing really stems from running a LOWER resolution screen. I personally think that Sense is much better than TouchWiz, but that is why I'm in this part of the forum.

I do think that at 1.5, you would likely get excellent results. Although quite frankly, without LTE radio, Telus really should have gone with the Exynos :p

Yup, only kernels and recoveries. the Flash Image GUI thread is the best place for information on the app.

[General Questions and Answers] Joshbro:
i tried the one-click unbricking tool but it can't detect my phone cause i can't cause it to get into download mode.
[General Questions and Answers] otoolerc:
Joshbro, did you get to this situation by attempting to root, mod a little prematurely?

I use a Galaxy Ace, and completely - all but absolutely - bricked my phone in December, and had to return it for a new one.

The reason was because I rooted my phone - a harmless action - but tried modding it, without enough insight as to potential problems.

The biggest problem for Galaxy Ace users, as I read, was installing and then using ROM Manager.

All I did was use the Back Up option, and when it went to restart, it didn't. Ever.

I learned a lot the following few hours, most of which didn't stick because I was in panic mode.

But essentially, I went through Oden, Kies, etc. I connected the phone, and eventually, when holding the Power, Home and Volume Down button, I saw a faint glimpse of hope.

Unfortunately, that's where the hope stopped.

I liken it to CPR.

My phone was dead, but there was a faint pulse. Upon attempting mouth to mouth, all I was greeted with was barf in the mouth.

So, you could be screwed.

Unless someone has another idea.

How'd you get to this point?
[General Questions and Answers] Joshbro:
lol. nice example and yah i tried to get a mod that would turn my home buttons into led notifications for texts and stuff.

I just came across a free WiFi tethering application called FoxFi, which is available from the Android Market. This enabled WiFi tethering for non-rooted phones. Version 1.31 is still a beta, and I've only downloaded it a few minutes ago. But I am connected via my phone right now and it seems to work.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.foxfi
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LuvrGirl:
I just installed this app this morning and tested it out for about 5 mins and it worked great!

Anybody know how this will appear on AT&T's system? Easily figured out by the carrier?

Maria
[Motorola Droid RAZR] syntrix:
I have yet to contact the developer, but on SGN, all it appears to do is modify your stock wifi sharing settings. I'll try on a razr maxx tomorrow and see if it's the same.

edit: appears to be same on the moto bionic. Double check under settings, wireless, mobile hotspot settings.

Not saying it shouldn't work as intended, but the fact that it shows up in the stock hotspot is slightly alarming.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icebear8:
Works great on samsung stratosphere all the other tether apps didn't work for me so this one is doing something different
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nizmoz:
I added foxfi and turned on wifi hotspot and it isn't showing up on my devices. When I turn on mobile hotspot it wants me to pay Verizon 30 extra to activate. How are you guys getting around this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beaton3344:
Works great for me too. But I am concerned about my bill. Haven't got any prompts to pay yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ScratchSF:
You shouldn't have to explicitly turn on WiFi. I think that's why you're getting the Verizon notice. Once you start FoxFi, everything is configured in that application.

I did have a problem where it - FoxFi - seemed to keep background sync turned on. But, I also had some other things going on with my phone at that moment, so I can't say for sure if it was FoxFi that was doing it. I'll try it again later to see if I can determine what was going on.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichaelMcC:
Sometimes you have to reboot the phone after installing/configuring the app the first time.

Always open the FoxFi app for configuring or toggling the app on and off.

When you turn off tethering you may have to toggle wifi on again since it turns off wifi.

When the Green Tethering Icon shows up in the notification bar, don't open it or select anything from there.

I have it on two Razr's working fine.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tribalb:
Ive had that same problem with android wifi tether. It would connect and process. But after 50 megs process it dies out. And no connection. Ive played with dns settings and channels and nothing to get consistant tethering till now. With foxfi that is. Sux its not working for you. The only thing i can suggest is try different versions of the wifi tether app. Before the first 2 updates on the US razr. I was using an older version of android wifi tether that worked smoothly. You just gotta try to find the one that works for you
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Stick_man09:
Love this App, Works great!!!

This app works perfectly on my CDMA RAZR and my wifes RAZR MAXX. Been using it for a few days. Successfully tethered a PS3, B&N Nook Color, all of our Mac Computers. The only confusing point with this one was that you cannot shut down the hotspot from the notification pulldown area. You have to open the app back up and uncheck the box for enabling / disabling the hotspot. Not sure how this works for getting around the included hotspot app but if it works I guess I don't care. Two big thumbs up for this app!

Ya about the people with HTC phones

"Message from team: some user recommended FoxFi in a popular deal website and the whole world come to install it. While this is awesome we have a hard time keeping up with our support emails. We are aware of some most reported issues: the Motorola Triumph crash will be fixed in our next update. Atrix 2/4G are not supported yet and we are looking into it. HTC phones users can only use Bluetooth mode. A WiFi hotspot lock exists in HTC Android that can not be bypassed and we are truly sorry."

Just notice that in the what's new section of the market place.

FoxFI

You'll need root to do the entitlement check exploit, and this thread is specified non-rooted. If you have root, it makes total sense to do this over using FoxFI. However, I don't recommend a newb jacking around with SQL. Link below, it works on the OTA JB leak as well.

couple things for clarity...

I am not new to rooting, this just happens to be the first phone I have not rooted. in my previous routing don't recall using SQL, but I may have. that is why I am in this thread as I know it is for non rooted phones. unfortunately, with jelly bean now on my phone there is not yet, that I understand, a way to root it nor can I go back to ICS. Soooo...

is anyone aware of a wifi tether, non root, that works with jelly bean?

Not sure

I think you may be hosed till FoxFi get's a JB update or someone gets root. I'm betting the latter happens first.
