[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] maxjivi05:
Okay this requires you to have another IMEI number so if you have a Infuse you will need either a iPhone a BlackBerry or a LTE phone's IMEI number

Call AT&T tell them you need to update your IMEI # and update the Unlimited Data plan to the Unlimited Data plan for that phone. I used a Skyrocket IMEI for NY Infuse they took a few minutes updating it and once I got off the phone I went into Airplane mode and out of Airplane mode and had full speeds again.

Everytime you are throttled call back give them the old IMEI # and have them update the Data Plan again for full speeds!

No need to change your APN!

Hit Thanks if this helps you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SolsticeZero:
Isn't just changing your APN quicker?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] maxjivi05:
It don't work with all phones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SolsticeZero:
But it works with the skyrocket.... Which this forum is pretty much expressly about....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
You'll probably be hit with a fee. They charged me an upgrade fee when i gave my daughter my iPhone. I didn't go to the store and upgrade just swapped sim cards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] maxjivi05:
Not true, AT&T does not charge a fee to change devices only when Upgrading and signing a two year contract or activating a new line of service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
I was tempted to try an imie swap as well..bit wasn't hindered by the worry of not an upgrade fee but double charges

I noticed on our bills from our upgrades in Jan that when they terminated our data for 1 plan, they charged us $20 some odd ...then $30 for the newly activated data plan. The first charge was obviously prorated, the second was not. So for any month they have done what is described above, we have been charged $50 for our $30 unlimited data.

It doesn't work for all skyrockets

The going theory is that if you are on the lte unlimited plan and in an lte area...it won't work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] maxjivi05:
Well the IMEI swap does create pro-rated charges but if you are charged more then 30$ after the pro-rated charges AT&T is required to credit you the amount in error. You pay 1 month in advance so when you change a that feature mid-cycle you should see 15$ here and 15$ there.

Newly activated phones get the pro-rated charge plus one month in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] opencipher:
I'm on LTE unlimited and in an LTE area...and it works for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
OK that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying. I started combing through my wife's bills looking for overages haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
I thought you were...but that it was no longer working. Its very difficult keeping up lol.

I need a spreadsheet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
It's a simple fix for the unlimited LTE and LTE area problem.

Flash the T-Mo radio, and that forces the phone into HSPA+, and the phone APN works again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
Didn't know we could flash the T-Mo radio. Thanks man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
I could swear i tried that but will try again

Side note...flash back to matching radio before you flash stock with Odin.. it trips the counter

Learned that last week :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
I thought there was a cwm version? I've been looking but haven't seen anyone running a tmo radio on att.

My flash counter is at 6 cuz I had a bad stock tar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ManImCool:
Just to clarify because I"m been driving myself crazy using different APNs trying to bypass the throttle; (it used to work last month, now none of the APNs work this month when trying to bypass, and I'm on LTE unlimited in an LTE area/San Francisco) once I get throttled, I just flash the T-mo radio, then I'll have HSPA+, and then when my billing cycle starts over I reflash my stock radio? Is this method definitely going to work if the APNs no longer work? Also, can someone point me in the right direction of the absolutely correct T-Mo radio to flash, as well as the correct "stock" radio to reflash when the cycle starts over? I don't want to flash the wrong one and fck up my phone... I've flashed several ROMS so in that sense I'm not new to flashing, but I've never flashed radios before.

Thanks for the help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] maxjivi05:
Just call in change phones call in change back and it's unthrottled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Same here...flash counter is at 3 and my phone quit communicating with the towers. Att is sending a replacement but i am a a little concerned about that counter :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ManImCool:
2 different phone calls to get it unthrottled?

EDIT: I think I understand what you mean now:

I actually make two calls right after each other... first call with my old Inspire 4G/IMEI and switch plans, then hang up, then call back right after, give them the Skyrocket IMEI and switch back to the LTE unlimited plan again, and then I'm unthrottled? Will I not get throttled again until the next billing cycle and can abuse and download as much data as I want after making the 2 phone calls and getting unthrottled? And again, I don't need to switch any APNs or anything, I can just stay on the ATT pta APN and continue using LTE? Or is this a HSPA workaround? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerolauda:
It's about one month i cannot see any new "stock" release. LA4 (2.3.6) and LPB (4.0.1) are the last I can find. What is happening at Samsung? Are they working on some new hardware and spending more effort on it? Or do they think this is the best they can do? IMHO there is still a lot of work to do.

Is there someone with fresh news?

UPDATES:

1) Gingerbread will have more updates

2) Icescream Sandwitch first official release will be at the end of	March

3) there are rumors about a US official ICS release at 1 of March

2012/02/16

Last ICS released is LPH

2012/02/26

Last gingerbread released is LB2

1 month and you're writing them off? You clearly think this is a simple thing to do. Perhaps you should show them how it's done?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Jeez if you read the 7 million posts on here you will see that Android 4 is due for release soon . Hardly likely that Samsung will update 2.3.6 though networks may still update as that are always behind .

ICS has not yet been released .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughfollett:
The official release of ics is near and so:

1.there's no need to release 2.3.6 updates!!

2.the next ics leak should be the first official update!!!

Never said or thought this.

I think this topic could be a starting point for the last news.

Moreover H in "IMHO" means humble ...

:-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerolauda:
And you touched some problems.

I started this topic because it is hard to detect the fresh news among million of post in hundred of threads. I think a lot of Dev are in my same condition.

I would like this topic to be the starting point for the next release news.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Your intention (after the fact) may have had noble intentions, but please read your initial post again, and try to be objective. Pretend you didn't write it. It was REALLY whiney and almost demanding in tone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerolauda:
And this is really out of topic again!

Isn't it? Pls if you have no news stop flaming here. I suppose it is of no interest for anyone your opinion about this topic!

I perfectly know what I wrote and what has lead me to start this topic and you have no way to prove anything different. You wanted to be funny but you have already given two evidences you are not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Not flaming at all. Just pointing out how your original post sounds. From the other responses (and the tags on this post, which I did NOT add) my opinion is shared by others.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerolauda:
Ehm ... What part of the phrase "Out of topic" you cannot understand?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I understand out of topic just fine. But if

I

was being stupid, I'd want someone to point it out to me.

Good luck with all your on-topic responses.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerolauda:
This helped a lot.

And this helped too.

In conclusion the opinion is that gingerbread will have no more upgrades and we must wait till the end of March for the first stable IceScream Sandwitch Sgs2 release.

Personally I hoped Samsung would have been releasing some more Ics beta test releases to give evidence of their immense work and in the same time they would have been bringing that experience on gingerbread, has they did till last releases.

I will copy these Infos on the first post and I will keep it updated for more news.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerolauda:
So sometime it is enough asking.

It seemed impossible to me that we had to still wait for another release.

Yesterday LPH leak has been released
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJohnXx:
Sorry for this post wich i only do when something is bugging me. Post from posters before me had a good point and the know who the are. These questions good have being found easy by search.

No disrespect and you mabe are gonna say that this post has no use at all , but then again so is this thread. And come on ....samie will release ics.....not worldpeace. Respect and Greetz.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
There are threads about ICS release etc daily... They are not hard to find... prepare to be closed... lol :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerolauda:
I cannot understand you're point of view: I asked a question. Someone answered. Some one others say this thread is no sense. The fact is that the infos I'm asking for are very interesting and not so easy to find among million of threads. Having a thread whose first post says: next Ics will be released on ... Or: next gingerbread will be released on ... IMHO is really very useful. Moreover if you can really find these infos so fastly pls tell me what is that thread that have this info as first post.

Greetz
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerolauda:
I know unless a tenth of threads about Ics, and Intratech thread about stock release.

They have convinced me starting this thread. I was daily looking at these threads and in the last month there were no news about the next release. In these threads they talk about the last release, but it is hard to know when next release will come out. I hope you are the last one I must explain that. So: if some admin think these thread is unuseful, I will accept their decision, but if not, pls ppl don't let me waste my time in these explanations ;-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerolauda:
As supposed a new gingerbread has been released LB2.

Moreovers there are rumors about a first official ICS release at start of March, but March has started and no release come out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br46:
my opinion about existing ICS roms for SGS2

the last ICS rom for SG2 is XXLPH , easyly to be found in s forum

I tried many roms based on XXLPH and i think that remix 9.4 is the best

I think there will not be major improvment before a new sansung leaked rom

or a ICS MIUI

Is Google Music the default music app on the SGN? (i.e. open a .mp3 from explorer, what is the default app that should open)?

Reason I ask, is my phone doesn't know how to open a .mp3 and Google Music is one of the apps I removed. It pops up a list of two apps I've installed when I select a .mp3 file. (ES Music player, or XiiaLive) but nothing for the stock music app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yep. It should open in Google Music by default.

Google Music will not pop up as an option if you have disabled it...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilwarier9:
So, I'm having an issue where my PC can't see my phone with PC Companion open or closed, Phone on, off, or in recovery, with 2 different cables, and with USB debugging on or off.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or do I just have broken pins on my USB port? cause I can still charge via USB.

Also, I'm on the wrong kernel so I can't access ClockWorkMod and update the ROM

I'm using an old version of this ROM (last updated mid-October, 2011)

tl;dr: PC can't see phone when plugged in, tried common sense options, what do?

More info: I did some research and found others saying they got a message saying "Unrecognized hardware" I don't even get that, nothing happens at all when I plug it in, although the phone does charge.

I have also tried 2 different PC's (both W7) and all the USB ports on both.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philsner99:
I would guess that the pins are busted in your phone. There are a few people with this hardware issue from my reading of the forums so this is not uncommon.

I'm in the same spot, I haven't been able to USB connect my X10 for months. The repair guy told me it wasn't fixable, so I'm stuck with locked bootloader and xRecovery flashing only.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilwarier9:
That's about what I found too. Someone said to try rubbing alcohol and a q-tip or blow in it (a-la NES style) but I doubt that will work. At least you can flash with xRecovery though, I screwed something up and can't access it anymore.

As I wrote, after I exit the browser, for example, dolphin hd, even though it happened to me in SKYFIRE and with XSCOPE.Just when I'm exiting FC (I think it is called) ot restart[?!] appears to me a white screen with green lettering of HTC and then it goes main table and takes a while for things to catch up.

Why does this happen?

What can I do?

Thanks in advance

Are you using any memory apps? Have you been pressing home instead of exiting the app?Do you have millions of SMS? All of these are possible causes...

Its down to memory allocation,Forces HTC Sense out of memory (OOM) if you use spare parts apk you can set it to the lowest preset (opposite to aggressive) and it should fix it
[HTC Sensation] TripManISR:
memory apps? i have "easy task killer " and advanced task killer"

i'm exiting thruogh the "exit" option .

there is no millions of sms , only about 20 [new phone ]

Try not to use task killers because they actually waste battery life by killing tasks that have a service which enables them again anyway, causing more battery drain as the service and app is restarted

OK

i'll uninstall them.

BTW - should I use the stock task manager?

Is there anything else I can do to avoid that again?

[Captivate General] LongLiveCappy92:
Hey everyone,

My contract with AT&T just expired and I may switch to Verizon to go for the Galaxy Nexus or Razor Maxx. However, I like the Galaxy SII that AT&T only offers. I currently have a Captivate and love it. I just want to know if anyone has any opinions on the SGSII or Nexus. Thanks
[Captivate General] SeanHacker:
I still have my captivate but it just collects dust after getting my att sgs2. I'm pretty unsure why you would even have to consider upgrading to a phone that is 100 times better then the captivate. :D
[Captivate General] LongLiveCappy92:
Well the Captivate was the first Android I had and it's so versatile. And I see developers are porting ICS for it. But I can't argue with the power and awesomeness of the SGS2
[Captivate General] shaker2k:
if I were you I would try an ics ROM. I would recommend docs Master ics (v3.1)

My cappy is blazing fast. I'm talking 0 lag!

MC 3 runs completely smooth with not a hint of stutter or lag. That's with no over clocking! When I oc/live oc it with nstools, I can get it up to 1500mghz.

Run it for a while and wait for the sgs 3.

Hope this helps you on your decision.
[Captivate General] nakedninja42:
I'm loving ICS and the anker battery on the cappy, it changed my decision on wanting to upgrade now. My upgrade was eligible last Oct, but I holding out till summer when all the quad-cores come out (I HOPE!!).
[Captivate General] LongLiveCappy92:
Yea, I guess waiting is always an option, especially if more powerful phones are still to come! I'll look more into ICS and see what I can do, I'm on Serendipity 7 right now and it's pretty laggy, at least for me.
[Captivate General] rompus:
I went from a Captivate running S7 to a SGSII. To say the SGSII blows away the Captivate is an understatement. I have felt zero need to even root the phone yet. It is great out of the box. Fast, stable, great battery life. Not one force close since I got it 6-7 weeks ago FYI, still running 2.3.4 Gingerbread. If you get one, don't update to 2.3.6. It has battery drain issues.
[Captivate General] ratflinger:
FC out of the box was never an issue. Why anyone would buy a new phone that is only running GB is beyond me. If I was in a position to switch carriers I'd go with the Nexus, you're getting the good stuff that everyone else is just trying to catch up to.
[Captivate General] LongLiveCappy92:
Well isn't the sgs2 slated for an ICS upgrade? I know Samsung said that the captivate won't get ICS. And we all know how much of an ordeal it was just to get froyo, let alone gingerbread on it, so it'll probably be the same way for the sgs2, but it has better specs than the Nexus
[Captivate General] EclipseEntity:
If I were you I would upgrade in a heart beat. Hardware-wise the Captivate just can't compete with the dual-cores phone you mentioned. And the battery from the Maxx is a beast!

Keep in mind that AT&T is now charging doubled the upgrade fee (from $18 to $36). Switching to Verzion can easily get you free activation + free shipping via some online retailer in addition to their "Twice the data, same low price" data promo, which is quite a deal unless you got grandfathered with AT&T previous data plan.

I also loved the Galaxy S II, only downside is no 4G LTE with the exception of the Skyrocket. Rumor has it that Skyrocket HD is coming to AT&T, with a full 720p Super AMOLED screen upgrade from a 480x800. You might want to wait on that.

Just my two cents.
[Captivate General] pupochek:
What he said ;)
[Captivate General] nuclearwinterxxx:
I still love my C(r)aptivate. I loathed it something aweful because of the utterly fail GPS, but all-in-all it's still a fantastic phone. Seeing that I have the LG Thrill as my main phone(I use nav a lot and needed better gps or i wouldn't have) which just came out and is still on FROYO and a phone that came out last July already has Gingerbread...It's nice to know that it is still supported. A lot is to be said about not having a contract being held over your head too. Personally if I were you I would keep the Captivate and leave my options open. Some awesome phones will be coming out Q3 this year. I'm looking forward to the Tegra 3 powered HTC Endeavor. Bide your time and know you can jump ship to another carrier any time you choose. IMHO
[Captivate General] LongLiveCappy92:
Yea, the GPS was a huge fail, I actually sent back my first one because apparently the first manufactured devices were "defective" but even after I got a new one my GPS didn't improve much. The captivate is under powered, but it sounds like some pretty awesome phones are in the works and not having a contract allows for some breathing room. I guess I'll just see which carrier releases the most desirable phone in the next few months or so and go from there.
[Captivate General] DaNaRkI:
Really? No interests in customization? Cuz rooting the phone for reasons you listed is a rather poor use of root access... No such thing as "good" stock!

No it's not, if anything call it "outdated." The device is getting close to two years old! When it came out no one was honestly considering a PHONE having a dual-core CPU. In all honesty they don't need it! Quad-core is just ridicules... The ICS ROMs we have now show that the phone is by no means under powered.

As to the other idea, all I can say is that AT&T seems to be getting more and more greedy, their practices more sleazy... Or at least being faster to jump on ways to improve profits and reduce costs, of which we the customers are seeing no benefits...

[Captivate General] nuclearwinterxxx:
Improve profits and reduce costs as in raise rates and reduce services. Or Promise a technology, then abandon it before fruition. I liked the falsely advertising a technology ploy. I've been with this phone service since it was Cingular, which in my opinion was a far better company. It's been getting harder and harder to renew my contract. I find myself peering over the fence to see how green the grass is on the other side.
[Captivate General] LongLiveCappy92:
I know what you mean here... I've been with them since Cingular as well and I know the prices will go up over time, but their service hasn't improved one bit. One big bonus of Verizon is the coverage they have nationwide is FAR superior to AT&T's. When you have to sell a Microcell to imporve coverage in your customer's houses, you know you need to upgrade your service. Verizon will probably end up having the better LTE network too, as AT&T never went nationwide 3G, as Verizon did looong ago
