In the past there have always been rumours around a tango 1 & 2 update. Is tango 2 still on the cards?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Teh Fogel:
I got to think this would be important to both users and at&t. Considering they say Windows 7.5 refresh (Tango) is targeted at developing countries, one would think having a proper wifi policy would be important.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Seriously, where is the damn update?

Tango is nothing but a refresh, and even a refresh is taking that long? We are almost one year from Mango and Microsoft didnt even made official the change log?

Annoying.

And I'm not even mentioning the freaking silence about Apollo update. Wouldnt be a surprise if none of our devices get the update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
Official Mango release was in October. So, we are more like 6 months going on 7 from the release of Mango. Yes, devs got beta versions earlier, but they were beta versions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Still, we HAD something. At least, we had some preview of what to expect..
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
i can't see a reason to prevent gen 1 wp devices from recieving the update. still, there is no reason to keep silent about tango, apoollo, or whatever is after that either. any press at all for wp would be a good idea at this point.

I'm using the Optimus 7, the first-gen Windows Phone Snapdragon. Focus had a faster, and probably better managed CPU, and Lumia even better. Still, I had the iPhone 4, and the music playback time was easily 3-4x that what I get from my Optimus 7, probably even more.

This will change however, when Nvidia put's out it's CPU's that have more than one core, where one of the core's are low-power-low-performance, with the intent of managing work that usually occurs at other chips, like a music playback chip...

It is Apple's hardware design that makes it so good at battery management. Battery is conserved, both in software, but also in the softwares relationship to the hardware. This MUST be implemented in WP7 reference designs, or Apple will always be ahead.

Just curious, how do you get to the "Battery Status" screen in the second set of screenshots in the OP?

It may be a feature of the Tango update, so we wouldn't be able to see it yet.

The only Tango feature I got out of the box from the Tango update was MMS attachement of multiple pictures or videos, and/or ringtone.

For Static IP setting under Settings->WiFi and Export Contacts to SIM, I had to manually edit the Registry to get them show up.

Add Voice Note MMS attachement is not there, and the GPS notification icon it seems it was scrapped at all.

Has anyone gotten this to work on the Nexus S? I have a LA32C650 TV and it should be supported, but I cannot get it to connect to my TV.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
Had my SGSII for about 3 months now. Rooted the 1st week I brought it home. I've been flashing ROMs left and right, trying to find that certain one that best fits my lifestyle.

I've landed on the Darkside, and found my flavor there.

Because of "all this talk" about ICS, and only going (OTA) to unlocked un-rooted phones. I've successfully un-rooted, and went back to stock.

With all the benefits of having a phone rooted (nandroid backup, uninstalling bloatware), i ended up asking myself "WHY". Why do I really need to be rooted. The only time i ever do a nandroid backup is when I flash a new ROM. After much consideration, I ended realizing that the ONLY main reason I want my phone rooted is to re-place the Gmail.apk in the system's folder to a modded Gmail.apk - so I can put my unread count widget on my home screen.

Yeah yeah yeah.. i know there is a apk in the market named "Google Unread Count 2.0", but it doesn't read your unread count email in real-time. It takes a few minutes for the widget to update.

Other, than that there really is no pressing reason to have my phone rooted.

Now for the OTA update waiting game..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
Why not?... yet better question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
To each their own but there are many more reasons to root other than a Gmail.apk. If your waiting on an OTA ICS update you will be waiting awhile longer. But again to each their own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
Gonna be a loooooooooong wait my friend.

Btw, I can't imagine android without root, (rooted since the g1).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Nothing wrong with stock...stable, fairly fast. But don't hold your breath for ICS...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
I find it amusing that the only justifiable reason for you to root is a modded gmail

There are so many reasons to root it's not even a question of "why".

How about Carrier IQ? Or full control over Theming? Custom Kernels, build.prop, CWM Touch Recovery? You can't be serious about a gmail notification being the sole reason for rooting.

Oh and btw, if you haven't learned this yet, you may want to pay attention:

Once the update starts rolling out to the general public, the official version will be leaked on xda and you will be able to flash through CWM. I'm sure within days there will also be a rooted stock version as well. This will be well BEFORE you get the OTA.

So, if you want to give up control of your device just to wait longer for something that hasn't even officially been announced yet, more power to you. Say hi to Carrier IQ for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
What is the point of this thread? Who cares if you root or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lakers3408:
Who said it's even coming to your phone, just because Samsung said it's now being sent OTA does NOT mean you will get it. The fact that you have a carrier branded phone means that Tmobile will get it's hands on it first then do it's wonderful (sarcasm) magic and bloat it with there apps like Tmobile TV and so on. Then IF they choose to make it available they will send it there's NO time frame on that. All I have to do it's point out the Tmobile's version of the Samsung Galaxy S, the Vibrant, which NEVER got Gingerbread like the other Galaxy S phone that did. Samsung announced and released an OTA for the Galaxy S but Tmobile in there infinite wisdom chose NOT to release it to the Vibrant. So just because Samsung announced and is sending a OTA ICS does NOT mean you're going to get it. You will have to WAIT for your carrier IF and when they announce it, PERIOD!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Though it may only he available to stock unrooted users, its often a matter of a few days to get an rooted stock rom up so thats not an issue for me

Wtf... This guy trying to make a documentary of his personal phone desires..as said previously who cares what you decide to do with your phone...we don't need to be informed your un rooting and waiting... If that's what you choose do be it but y in the hell would you think we need to know, or much less care
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cbinvb:
personally, i like the ability to get into the rooted side of es file explorer to modify the build prop, change lcd density, insert init.d script edit for better battery life. hell, how about undervolting the kernel with oc apps to get upwards of 24 hours out of a single charge? also, while the tmo roms are good, they cant hold a candle to the 2.3.5 roms from ATT...i dont know what it is but those roms run like a dream on this snapdragon soc.

final thought - I love tmo, dont get me wrong, but if you think that tmo will be the first to get ics ota then maybe you know something i dont. considering that, i hypothesize that ics (or even cm9) will be available for flashy goodness long before its ever beamed to our phones.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BoiPhresh:
Relax... You sound like he stood you up on a date

I also havent rooted since getting my replacement phone... The phone is great without it and 75% of the roms and themes are the same thing just a dif battery mod or kernel (not many choices on this phone) I just think rooting isnt that big of a deal anymore since phones are becoming more powerful

Guys I put a case on my phone today. I know some of you guys don't use them but I don't see why you don't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
what kind of case?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
No, I just get tired of people making comments as if there is no reason for rooting their phone just because they don't care for the ROMs available in the Dev section.

As I said, there's many reasons to root.. and none of the ones I cited have anything to do with custom ROM flashing. Not that there's anything wrong with that either, though.

I never rooted my phone because it wasn't "powerful" enough. For me it's about control and privacy, customization and freedom

Honestly rooting is one of the reasons xda exists...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
Here here +1. i don't know why all the big hype with ics anyway (me included). I've been reading that its really no big deal.

Im really looking forward to CM9 though.

I should say "screw it!" and re-root my phone, reflash Darkside and be happy.

I don't know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
By all means do what suits you. You seem like a cool dude, nothing wrong with stating your opinion and getting a discussion going.

I just jump in where I feel the argument needs to be made because I want the newbs/inexperienced to see both sides of things before they decide what might work for them. Rooting was one of the coolest things about Android, and remains so IMO

But I am a firm supporter of the stock T989 2.3.6 ROM, minus some bloat and Carrier IQ.

Some ROMs have nice battery stats, sure... some look cool, and that's ok.. but for me, the overall user experience with the rooted, de-bloated, Stock ROM is the best.

But I do want to take a second to say we need to support the Devs too... they put a lot of time and effort into making the custom ROMs, and everyone should try them out when they can.. give feedback and praise/constructive criticism where it is due. It helps them continue to learn and get better while staying motivated to keep coding away their lives for our enjoyment. It's a major sacrifice of time and effort for little reward. A donation now and then is always appreciated too.

But all in all, rooting is the key to getting the most out of our devices, and protecting our privacy.

full of win
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
i don't get it. "full of win" is a case? i got 2 cases for my phone. One is a black plastic "body glove" which im using now. i like it because of the belt clip turns into a kick stand. i also have a leather case that folds up like a wallet. i kinda don't like it though.. I've tried to go phone naked (without any case) but i'm to afraid ill scratch the camera face when i set the phone down. do you notice how the camera face is flush with the surface?

Overall, i think a case is better than no case at all.

Off topic a little. For some strange reason, im always pulled to the windows 7 "metro" UI. Even though I installed Launcher7 and used it until i got tired of it. but, i don't know why that metro ui is so appealing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
I used Launcher7 for awhile, it was cool. I'm too much of a themer to stick with it though. Rocking a MW3 theme right now, even down to the notifications. When I get a text you hear "KILL CONFIRMED!"

Your correct about Titanium Backup! Thats when i learned my lesson and started using it. So i do have a a backup of the programs, but i can't access them since i'm un-rooted.

DAMN!

Another awesome reason to re-root.

I unrooted my phone back to stock 2.3.5. My reasoning to it is smiple im going to use this for a week then 2.3.6. And go thru each rom. Plus my own custom rooted style ill make myself. And doing this for many reasons. The biggest one of all is to really under stand how much my phone improves with roms. I never used this phone stock so when i see people leaving comments like fast ui i cant say anything because i have allways seen fast ui. I say rooted is the way to go but to really understand why it is try what i am doing and give each one a week to get a feel for it.

Besides if you really want ics do it this way it will keep you busy for a fews and ics will come closer anyways. I say you could get 2 months out of it.

Some (what I've heard) no longer browse this T989 fourm anymore.

Well for starters eugene will have a revamped cm7 build this weekend! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
Honestly, I'm getting a little bit tired of the whole "we drove the devs away" theme going on in the T989 forum.

Every forum, for every phone, has it's share of trolls/whiners/bashers/a-holes

This isn't some extra cruel community forum with a bunch of dev haters carrying torches and crucifying people.

The devs who have stuck with us here, hats off to you - thank you for excelling in awesomeness

The ones who left? peace out.

The reality is, IMHO, that the stock ROM leaves almost nothing to be desired (aside from root and debloating..)

Devs were our saviors when ROMs were taxing the crap out of our underpowered phones and causing lockups and force closes. The ROMs they wrote "trimmed the fat" so to speak, and gave us phones that actually functioned decently (for the most part..) and added a few features from the next OS update (i.e. on Froyo, they gave us pieces of Gingerbread)

There is a couple of reasons it's not the same anymore. #1 our phones kick *** out of the box. We don't even really need to remove the bloat, because it doesn't slow our phones down or take up needed space for other apps (plenty of space for that!). #2 you can't give us a piece of ICS on GB because the framework is so vastly different. Sure, you can give a theme that will give the illusion of ICS, but it's not ICS in anyway. Not to mention that running 2.3.6 on a SGS2 already includes features that are beyond standard GB (our default messaging app and contacts app are examples of added features that I feel are ICS'ish - I have my own theories about Samsung being involved with some of the early ideas of ICS)

So when you're a dev, and you really can't top the stock ROM (please someone correct me because I don't see anything custom that is a notable improvement besides slightly longer battery life which you can achieve with apps and underclocking on stock w/custom kernel anyway), I can see how it can be unrewarding to spend your time coding for the T989. Add to that a few trolls, whiners and a-holes and that's all a dev needs to bounce, especially if they aren't the greatest dev anyway. Then throw in the ego factor because a lot of devs act like you should worship them and have HUGE egos as if they are some kind of god because they can tweak Samsung's code and make it somewhat stable.

Bottom line is, for me, I'm sick of hearing about it, cry my a river, blah blah blah go work on Sense for some crap phone I could care less..

Those devs that stay? Kudos, much respect, and thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BiteBlaze:
When, I mean IF ota ics does come our way, why would you want it stock?! It would be full of CIQ and TW. If we do get it then devs will make better Ics out of it. And rooting has much more advantages then you stated! Btw this is directed at the OP.
