[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JoshD422:
Hello all!

Noob here, first post, so first and foremost please pardon any ignorance. I did search here as well as google without finding any significant results. I appreciate anyone who takes time to answer.

I recently bought an unlocked Galaxy S2x (989D) for use here in the USA on T-Mobile. I went with the 989D and not the 989 because I'm using a grandfathered T-Zones plan.

I rooted/flashed Juggernaut 5.0 through cwm, and the phone is working fine EXCEPT my download/upload speeds are lousy. Consistently 1.5Mbps down / 500Kbps Up MAX with 800-1200 ms ping via speedtest app from various parts of Maryland (Baltimore/DC corridor) and using different servers. My N1 has always tested faster than that in the same area, which is why I'm particularly concerned.

I tried flashing Telus KJ3, T-Mo KID and T-Mo KL1 modems found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426001

But saw no improvement. I've also tried using the stock epc.t-mobile and the old internet2.voicestream APNs, with equally crappy results on both.

Is it just a matter of T-Mo having terrible speed over HSPA in this area, or is it possible that there's something screwy going on with the device/rom/kernel/radio? FWIW, calls and texts are fine, and wifi calling works as well. I've attached a few screenshots in case any of them might be helpful.

TIA!

hmm... you should read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514954

there's no spoon ;)

highest speed i ever got was close to 10 Mbps in Canada 3G/3.5G networks

seems more like the area you live in, have poor Tmo coverage for data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JoshD422:
That's disappointing, to say the least, especially since according to the coverage map, I'm smack in the middle of a giant blob of "4G Excellent" coverage. I'm still confused as to why my Nexus One would have better speedtest results. Perhaps HTC/Google FTW.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JoshD422:
seriously???

Is this legit? Full 4G signal? I can't imagine how it's THIS slow. Does jugg 5.0 have any build.prop tweaks that could be farking with my data? Just threw my sim card into my N1 to compare and it's way faster.

@JoshD422, Did you ever figure this out?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] baldockdrew3:
[Q] Whats the difference between each of the radios?

I am also wondering about this same fact with a real Telus phone in Canada. I'm also wondering about the difference between the 3 radios that were provided with the Darkside.UCLE2 Beta 5 ROM. (Don't get me wrong, appreciate all the hard work from these guys, amazing where the T989 dev has come already!)

I tried all 3 radios, and get different speeds with each one. Blazes 4G radio I can't seem to tether, and then the T-mo radios I'm having issues with Bluetooth and even Data.

Could someone if you have a minute explain what the difference is between the radios and maybe suggest what radio would be best for us Telus users in Canada?

Cheers, TIA!

JoshD422,

I will be the first to tell you living in Toronto, that its completely unpredictable in Canada.

I've had areas if there is high use downtown I will get even worse results than that (seen a ping of over 1000ms :().

At the same time I can redo a speedtest about 200 metres away, and get results up in the 10 Mbps and pings of 45 ms. So I don't believe that part has to do with the radios but more the quality of service, and I'm in whats supposed to have the best service city in Canada. :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cumings:
Your problem definitely seems to be due to the T-Zones plan. I don't have that plan and I'm using an unlocked stock Telus T989D in Maryland and I get 2-4 Mbps down and 0.7-1.0 Mbps up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joe74:
Do you get the "4G" icon?

I am on a stock unlocked T989d in the Atlanta area and get similar speed to you. However, I only see the "3G" icon in my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cumings:
Yes, only "3g" icon in MD/DC area. I guess maybe perhaps this is not as fast as using the T-Mobile radio software that comes stock in the T989, but it's plenty fast for me. I don't think the "4g" capability is much faster, anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joe74:
I think the "4g" icon is purely cosmetic. I have an unlocked Telus T989d on Tmobile and my co-worker has the Tmobile T989 on Tmobile. We both did a Speedtest side to side and we both got ~12Mbps down, ~1.3Mbps up. My phone was showing the 3g icon, while his was showing the 4g icon. Both our networks showed up as HSPA. Both of us in our respective stock, un-rooted ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
While T-Mo roms do tend to be a bit over zelus with the 4G icon, it is much faster than a 3G connection. Where I live in Orlando is a 4G area and I get over 20mbs download speeds and over 2mbps upload speeds..

Side note though.. it is funny that people still use "" or call it 3.5G when the T-Mobile network has been accepted as 4G for almost a year now .. I tried to find the artical but its being illusive today..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joe74:
Officially, 4G is supposed to get 1000mbs peak download. Tmobile uses HSPA+ which peaks at ~80mbs. I think that is why people call it 3.5G or use the "4G" when talking Tmobile.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadoslayer:
Hey folks, hopefully someone can help me out. I've decided to start playing around with source, and have been trying to sync the CNA source on my ubuntu box.

So, I setup the development environment, made sure I had JDK 6, installed all the required packages, etc. All good.

Then I did

repo init -u git://github.com/CNA/android_manifest.git -b mod-4.0.3

I chose the mod-4.0.3 branch because its the only one I saw with any repositories related to the i9000 (obviously, posting here, I'd like to compile from source for my i9000). After the init, I just ran repo sync and let it go.

The problem is I get a few errors like:

fatal: not a git repository: '/home/me/android/system/.repo/projects/android.git'
error: cannot fetch android_manifest
fatal: not a git repository: '/home/me/android/system/.repo/projects/bionic.git'
error: cannot fetch android_bionic
error: Exited sync due to fetch errors

Anyway, I searched and can't seem to figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong. Any help would be fantastic.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a problem with the wifi on my Samsung Galaxy S2 after I changed some settings on my home router. The wifi works anywhere else, just not at home.

What I changed was the router ip and wireless channel. Since then I have cleared all the wireless and browser settings in the phone and reverted back to the old settings on the router. Still doesn't work.

I've also tried having static IP. It doesn't work as well. It's only the internet. It connects to the router fine and I haven't had any problems with other gadgets and computers connecting.
[General Questions and Answers] mrrick:
Your tried turning on airplane mode for a few then reboot?

Your router doesn't have a sync button does it?

*signed
[General Questions and Answers] azumis:
One thing you can do is delete the connection to your router on your phone, and connect again with new password from router. Do you have any other device beside your phone connecting to this router? If no, you need to test it. If yes and not connecting check the connection security, like wpa or wpa2. If all fail, reset router. This mean you will need to reconfigure your router. Check manual for more on your router.
[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
Yes. View available wireless connections. Click your router. Then click "forget".

Then view again, click your router, and type the passphrase.
[General Questions and Answers] AddiSnow:
Just tried this and it didn't work.

My router is a cheap basic router that came from my internet provider. No such thing on it.
[General Questions and Answers] AddiSnow:
I've already reset anything wifi related on my phone. It hasn't worked.
[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
Do you have something else that you can connect to wifi to see if the problem is your router?
[General Questions and Answers] AddiSnow:
Not in my home no. But like I said in the OP, the wifi on my phone works fine in other houses and hotspots. It's most definitely some kind of communication problem between my router and phone only but I'm not familiar enough with routers to know the problem and I haven't stumbled on anyone else on google having the same problem.

Two laptops, one Win7 and one OsX, are connected. Unfortunately I'm new in the area I live in and my girlfriend doesn't have a smartphone so I haven't been able to test if it's just my phone or just android or iPhones in general.

I can't think of a logical reason why it's like this:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Freestate:
Maybe router is configured with wifi 802.11n and the galaxy only runs on b/g ?
[General Questions and Answers] ch0s3nb0y:
If you're using WPA/WPA2 security, check that the

router is set to use AES encryption.

If you think you did your best. Its better to buy a new router then. ;))
[General Questions and Answers] aster190:
maybe you could try unplugging your router?
[General Questions and Answers] AddiSnow:
I didn't change any of that. It's got a WEP encryption only as well.

Introducing DS9 Dominion QuickToggles for AOKP Build 26

This mod will gradually expand until it becomes a full theme, but for now, it is a set of quick toggle icons for AOKP patterned after Jem Hadar warships from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (although the flashlight icon is actually a Jem Hadar handheld disruptor)

/me adds geek cred to the geek card...

Disclaimer:

Make a nandroid prior to installing if you wish... I am not responsible for you borking or bricking or doing anything else to your phone when flashing this mod - I also am not responsible for your planet being invaded by Dominion troops, since I have no control over them.

Credits:

roman for the awesomeness that is AOKP

dustinb17 for the Cobalt theme (which I used for one version of my quick toggle icons, and I used some of the Cobalt toggles as a base for my icons)

Zaphod-Beeblebrox for his Taste the Rainbow mod (which I used for the other version ^^^)

chopper the dog and gunnermike53 for their icon sets which I also used as a base

Screenshots:

Rainbow Version (based on Taste the Rainbow by Zaphod-Beeblebrox and which still contains the original rainbow status bar icons)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBlueRaja:
Hi All,

Long time poster, check my history on S2 for confirmation i own this phone.

My dads iPhone was playing up, saying no service, so i switched his SIM with mine to see if his sim was working and Wavesecure kicked in, used my unlock code (for wavesecure) and thought nothing off it.

Screen times out and i unlock, asks for MY android pin unlock (as usual), but it wont take it.

I power off, switch to my old sim and power on.

Back to the PIN screen, it still wont take my pin.

So i reboot to recovery, wipe Dalvik and cache, nope!

Ok, i'll run a nandroid restore to a previous backup, nope!

Ok, i'll flash my ROM again (Checkrom), Nope!

Ok, i'll flash another ROM (Andromedia), Nope!

Every time i wont let me in, i can when i flash a new ROM get to the settings menu but when i try to change the PIN it wont let me as it wants to know the old one.

WTF can i do?

PM if necessary.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBlueRaja:
Ok, was able to gain access to the phone by deleting the settings.db file, the sqlite3 command didnt work.

However it still thinks there is a pin configured when i try to change the pin via the settings menu.

What the hell is going on here?

solutions for that:

1) flash the stock ROM using the flashtool

2) Root it again, install busybox, and install this

this will help you to install xrecovery again

3) boot into xrecovery, factory reset / wipe data

4) flash the rom you want~

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
If you have the stock UCKJ2 rom (which it appears that you do) then there is no need to factory reset or wipe data.

You will need to flash the stock recovery tar via ODIN, because OTA updates will not work with CWM recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OFWGKTADGAF:
will this increase my flash counter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
No, because you would be flashing the recover partition only.

The flash counter trips only when a custom rom package containing a kernel (boot.img) is flashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbucks911:
Wipe data will never reset you to stock when you are running a custom from, which you are not. Nor will it return you to the stock recovery. So all you have to do is flash the stock recovery tar through Odin you can find that in development along with instructions. Also note that by updating through ota you will lose root access
