I posted this in the skyrocket Q&A but no luck ....

I think I need proper APN settings can someone with the T mobile galaxy s2 post there APN setting s ?

Thanks for any help ...

\\Ive been helping my buddy with his SGS2 skyrocket on T mobile service .. I was looking for some tips on apn and data speeds .. So im guessing they should get the same speed as a t mobile SGS2 sitting next to it or id like to think so .. but doing a test with 2 buddies phone on the same service with a t mobile sgs2 and the sgs2 i727 . the speed is different by a bit the i727 was getting 5 to 7 megs a sec and the tmo sgs2 was at like 14 megs a sec ??? So The sgs 2 says its getting at&t 4G witch I know is bull .. im running the isc leak (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1569798 ) but the speed is about the same on the GB ROM when we first unlocked it ...and ive got the http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1572198 radios in it ....so i get edge when im at my house but my buddy on his 3g at&t iPhone gets it right next to me .. also when im on 4 G im not really getting 4 g speeds ....I think i must be missing some setting apn is wrong or something .. ive tried searching the subject but i get over whelmed not knowing much about radios.. Ive been thinking about going to t mobile also and getting a t mobile sgs2 or the i727 because of the lte radio .. so if anyone can enlighten me on something im missing ...thanks a lot

Locations is now available for HTC WP7 devices for offline navigation. You can use Wi-Fi to download maps for many (most) regions around the world. You must connect to a charger to download.

The description is "Find your way with directions or voice guidance. You can download maps to your phone for offline use, or search and browse online maps when you're connected."

Current version is Locations_v2.1.0.0.xap

Rename files to:

if you have HTC device, or dont know how to handle with attachments, no need to download this, simple go to marketplace, HTC Apps and download from there

or for other devices, use wAppStore for PC or WP7

Having a free GPS app like the one in Lumia phones, was my only reason to have an unlocked ROM. Now i think i'll keep my actual ROM (XBmod-Yuki). Congrats to HTC for having this app available to all.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] nickgbg:
As dxdy said if you have HTC device the easiest way is to go to market.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Whatdoyaknow:
Depends I what you want.

I prefer to have an .xap that I can load if/when I change to a different rom. I don't always want all .xap apps installed right away.

Downloading a file this each time from the marketplace would take considerable time.

That's why I went to the effort of making it available
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] dxdy:
is many tools to download xap from marketplace to PC....

i also suggest one...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] myself11:
It works, just need to decompress to get the .xap.

I have an LG Optimus 7. Is there any way that I can install this app? I tried installing aAppStore from the link mentioned earlier in my Windows 7 laptop but I keep getting an error message before the app starts and it closes instantly... I also tried visiting the wAppStore.xap using the web browser of my mobile phone but I got a message that this type of file is not supported by my phone.

Any detailed help would be more than welcome!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Whatdoyaknow:
Sorry, cant help. That's why I put this in the HD2 forum. It's a HD2 release, so I guess it will need some work to get it to work on an LG
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] dxdy:
why not install xap file with XAPDeployX? XAP install via IE is only for HTC devices with DFT custom ROM....

did your phone unlocked (Chevron or interop)? did you have .net Framework 4 and WP SDK installed on PC?

did your Zune running and synced with phone when try run wAppStore on PC?

P.S.

my advice: use Nokia Drive 2.0 if you can use this app.... is much better than Locations....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] geoponer:
Thank you for the detailed reply. I just got the phone a week ago, so I am not familiar with all these apps and ways to install xap files. The phone is not unlocked.

I guess I will have to do a research on the apps that you mention, hoping that they would work (for example Nokia maps is bot available for my Optimus 7 through the marketplace).

Thanks again and apologies for the off-topic!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Malarie:
Good day,

i juste reveived a notification to download and install 4.0.4 (Rogers in Canada). Its s 40MB download.

I am already running AOKP MS3 and Franco Kernel MS2... Is there any danger for me to install this update?

Im currrently backing up everything with clockwork mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No, you should NOT take the update. And I'm surprised you even received it. That is not meant to come up when you're on a custom ROM.

If you want it, you need to flash the Google Images and start over, or just wait for the ROM to be updated and flash that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Malarie:
Thats whati thought. Thanks forthe quck reply
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
why not just install aokp b29 which is on 4.0.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Malarie:
Why would I install a nightly build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
because it's actually stable and is awesome?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
As a fellow Canadian I am also surprised you got the update notification since I didn't (so i just flashed the factory image) and also because you got it within using a rom.

But like others said dont bother since it will be implemented within the rom in no time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
Take the update and tell us what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No... it could potentially seriously mess up his phone. There is no reason to try and accept an official OTA when you're on a custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KLUVJ:
personally, im diggin 4.0.4 stock everything unrooted. and this is my battery life on it

very happy. just revert back to stock and go for it...really smooth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
Question are you receiving 4.0.4 on yakjuux builds or yakju builds ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
This thread is someone on a custom ROM.

There are tons of threads already with people talking about receiving the update.

The update is only rolling out for yakju phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SX86:
Just received the update notification for 4.0.4. I'm on AOKP M4 with Franco Kernel M1. TELUS network.

The update is 39.5 MB I think.

Strange that I should receive this being on a custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You shouldn't be. And I'm still surprised devs aren't killing OTAs on their ROMs. Do not accept the update!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redmed427:
How in the heck did you get almost 4 hours for screen time? Please tell me you're using the seidio extended battery. Because i am. And i average the same each charge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
His use is pretty much exactly what mine has looked like the last 2-3 days with normal use after going to stock 4.0.4 from stock 4.0.2.

It added 1-2 hours of total time to my battery (up to 14-15 hours now), and 30-60 minutes to my screen on time (totaling 3.5-4 hours now). Stock 1750mAh battery btw.

Also keep in mind that it looks like he was on WiFi about 100% of the life of that battery, which generally helps batt life a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redmed427:
Ahh true that about the wifi. I'm rarely on wifi. Well, usually at work im not. In addition to going in and out of signal im sure doesnt help me at all

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
Not quite sure what your asking. If you like toggleing between several launchers....well i can't see any issues as far as "problems" go, but some do show more lag then others. I also have 5+ launchers installed but not having one set as default would drive me nuts but that's just me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
Yea if u set one as default then consequently, pressing the home button brings that launcher up instead of giving you the option to choose a launcher. Even so you can erase by going into settings,applications, find the launcher you set to default, select it, and click on "clear defaults" this will go back to asking which launcher to open when hitting home.

This may be a dumb question but I can't find anything that answers it...

I have new samsung galaxy skyrocket, still in the box, and before I do anything - even associate it to a google account - is there anything that I should do before I start entertaining the idea of rooting it? Likewise, is there anything that I shouldn't do?

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] ausia:
Thanks but the shear amount of info within this forum is overwhelming and my searching hasn't come up with anything that talks specifically about pre-flash configurations.
[General Questions and Answers] mcord11758:
So narrow the search

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1399

I do not believe there to be any best preflash configuration outside of rooting, installing, cmw, do a backup of your stock rooted firmware before flash.

I do not have a sky rocket but I had a captivate. The other thing I would suggest is finding out what Odin is, how to use it, and get the stock firmware for your device prior to flash. Key to recover if things go wrong

May also want to investigate a usb jig to force download mode in case of emergencies. That is if it works on gs2 models.

Read in basics like how to get into recovery, download mode, and possibly some adb basics

Happy flashing :cool:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dacore270:
ok not sure about rooting via USB, but if you would like to make a backup of your sd, you can use winimage32 to read and save and image of the complete sd to your pc. Then if you want to put it back on just write it back.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuaveCanadian:
It sounds to me like what you want to do could be achieved with a Kitchen, which is a program that can help you customize your existing ROM by adding and removing pieces from it. The kitchen then normally outputs a ZIP file you can flash.

Some kitchens run on your handset, some run on your PC.

I am new to Galaxy S II (I've been a Vibrant user for years), but I am sure a quick search of the forums will find you some kitchens.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samgalaxys2:
I am a complete noob to this even if I get one of these kitchens i wont know what do next, will it have tutorials?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Essentially you're looking for an easy way to do this (like 90% of people on here), and there isn't one.

If you really want to make roms you wouldn't be asking basic questions on here. You'd be doing the research/learning necessary to achieve what you say you want to do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
This says it all. You're not even close to having the ability to make your own ROM.

And before anyone flames, I happily admit that I'm not close either. I've done the research, but lack the time and - especially - skills necessary.

There's a lot of tools that will help you theme a ROM, probably a better point to start from. Check the general android themes forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samgalaxys2:
I know im not close but there was a time when the best rom producers didnt even know what a rom was.

Im just tryin to find out where to start and since theres a lot of rom developers on this site i think its the best place to ask
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Agree - everyone has to start somewhere. But I reckon most devs here have some coding/programming skills as a base - something I certainly don't possess.

Here's a noob's guide that I've been promising myself to try one day, when I have 8 or 10 years spare... seems a good starting point anyway. It's for the HD2 but the general theory seems universal.

Otherwise, google.

The best place to start would be on XDA Developers

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayo685:
So as you all know ICS has been out for our phones for quite a while now. The roms themselves run great and seem to work seamlessly except for two major issues I have noticed thus far.....GPS and lack of wireless tether for root users support. For this thread I wish to talk about the 2nd one. Has anyone ran across an ICS build for our phones that support the wireless tether for root users app? The reason why I want to use that is because it supports the AD-HOC function which allows me to keep my current data plan and not add on an additional tethering plan. I know there are other wireless tether apps out there but not all of them support the AD-HOC function. It seems like all Cyanogen based builds will support this function but very few other ROMS/Builds will actually support this. Just curious if anyone out there has ran across this before and seen an ICS ROM that does support this. I cannot be the only one out there who uses this am I?

For anyone who is not sure of what I am talking about, google android wifi tether.

PS-After I purchased a bluetooth standalone GPS device my GPS works fine. I suggest other Vibrant owners out there do the same. I picked mine up on ebay for a little under 30 bucks. For that 30 bucks I get the peace of mind that I can go anywhere and not worry about getting lost or carrying around a whole GPS device and my phone. The thing sits tucked away under my stereo and my gps locks on fast and accurately.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikesdot:
IDK bro but I use barnicle wifi tethering...try that

There is a tethering option under system settings and wireless, just click More and choose tether..

Yea but does that work via AD-HOC, I would hate to get charged for tethering because I do not have the plan.

Hey guys, a while back i had the epic 4g, and it was the best phone in the world to me. The motorola photon came out and all i saw was dual core! so i jumped off the samsung epic ship and boarded the motorola photon ship......BIG MISTAKE....there wasnt anything i couldnt do with the epic 4g. Between the devs, and learning how to really have some modding fun with the epic, there wasnt really much of a limit on it. Ive been arguing with sprint for 6 months to allow me to upgrade both my lines, and they finally agreed! Ive had so many problems with the motorola photon, and the dev. department can only do so much without an unlocked bootloader...anyway, Im phone shopping now, and i wanna come back to the samsung epic family. I really like the epic touch 4g. Can you please comment on your experience with the phone? Is 4g and GPS working stable on all the roms?

everything is working great for me and i also asked about the nexus and generally everyone agreed that it wont really offer much more then the e4gt. i think just a little bigger screen and more internal memory
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkfire2024:
It's ultimately that YMMV. I heard that the photons have better modems so they can get better signals compared to the epic 4g touch.

However, ROM development has really been kicking off. We have three main AOSP ROMS, CM 9, AOKP, and Codename Android, which are all about to be updated to Android 4.0.4 and able to record video again. All silky smooth. Make sure to not flash or wipe anything if you flash to ICS or you risk bricking.

As far as hardware, you should check if you have LTE where you live if you want to take advantage of it on the Galaxy Nexus.

In all honesty, this is the longest I've ever kept a phone and I've had it since it released in September. I love this phone and the devs (and contributors) here at XDA just give me new ways to enjoy my phone and make it work for me.

I'll be eyeing the new HTC and SGS3 (if it ever comes out) but it would take a lot to make me jump ship, and truly, that is saying a lot for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nfamisnme:
@darkfire2024, i must admit, some of my co-workers have the epic touch 4g and when they dont have any bars of service, i usually have full bars. Not that it helps to have full bars, i might beable to make a call, but i definitely dont have any 3g coverage...I live in chicago, im sure it will be months before they release lte over here. I checked that thread. Very useful, thanks for your advice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I'd like to say this is by the best phone I've ever used. The great thing, as you pointed out, is the active devs here, they are incredible. I recently helped a co-worker with his newest Droid4; get it at least rooted anyways, and I felt even better about my phone. Great thing is you have SO many options to choose from - especially for connectivity! Maybe the EL29 modem works best on your phone and in your neighborhood. Maybe it's the FC07 or FC24 or even one of the EK versions. The point being you can find out! I've been lucky and had progressively better speeds for both 4G and 3G with each version (except one early FC; caused batter drain and got no 4G) Good luck.

Edit: forgot to add that if you do go flashing different modems, make sure to update the PRL and Profile after/between the updates! I keep coming back to the Blazer GB ROM - literally everything works and works great. I've got a couple FC24 builds I'll probably try this weekend. But we'll see. I'm sure the final offical ICS code will drop very soon; then we'll see some great crazy development.
