[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwsm:
App launches and runs smooth. However, when I go to take a picture, it freezes and sometimes reboots. Even importing a photo from gallery causes it to hang. I have auto-rotate and motion control set to off, and I have been using the Tasker + Ultimate Rotation Control workaround. Disabling the Tasker workaround didn't help. Since ICS isn't officially out for our phones, I guess the problem won't be officially fixed until T-989 gets its own kernel.

But if you have found a workaround to enabling the Instagram camera/import from gallery, please share! :D

I am having the same issue, oh well :p

It's a driver issue the developers are working on it

There was a update to instagram this morning, but im currently on stock GB rom right now. Has the new update fixed the camera issue on ICS roms?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScottBroker:
What is soo great about Instagram? I d/l it but cant really see the value in in. Can some one please tell me the attraction?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] distortion:
I have searched and not found a clear answer...

I read the guide in this noob thread on returning to stock.

1) The drivers link is bad, can I use the same drivers that I used in rooting? I used the T-Mobile_t989_GSII_ADB_Drivers.zip from http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-with-superoneclick/

2) when I do the following:

Take out and put back in the battery.

Then, hold Vol + and Vol - , now plug in USB and you will at the following sreen that’s in picture.

Press Volume Up button now.

I get an Anroid recovery mode, is that the same as download mode?

3) after all is done and said with flashing back to the stock ROM with ODIN, will the counter be tripped? Will I have to install CWM and the the counter reset .tar?

If I do have to install CWM and reset the counter, will having CWM affect any future OTA installs?

Thanks for the help

|d|
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
1) download kies

2) to get in download mode, shut off phone, hold both vol buttons and then plug in usb

3) the counter will be tripped unless you use the sammobile tar. and yes if you have cwm you cant get ota updates
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] distortion:
I am confused a bit. I need CWM to install the sammobile .tar right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
No, you odin it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] distortion:
I wound up finding ODIN 1.85. I have also installed Kies.

Will both flash the Sammobile i727USA (AT&T) (I727UCKJ2_I727ATTKJ2_ATT) ROM? Which is best/safest? If Kies, how? I have seen plenty of tutorials on ODIN but none on Kies...

I appreciate your guidance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
The kies is only for the drivers. The sammobile will flash you completely back to stock including baseband and not trip the counter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] distortion:
Outstanding. Thank you for clarifying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Make sure before you push the start button in odin that the phone finishes installing drivers and it is recognized by odin in the com port
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Umm holding both buttons for the volume while rebooting makes it goto CWM, you have to hold the volume - only for download mode and then you get a prompt to press the volume + key depending on if you have the i727 or the i727R.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] distortion:
Before or after you put the phone in download mode and have connected via usb?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Shut phone down. Plug usb cable.into phone

Hold volume up and down then plug usb into pc while holding volume keys

That will put u in dl mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] distortion:
DONE :) !!!

It worked. Thanks !!!

Held -vol down and plugged usb in to get into dl mode.

Twisted stomach for a while I will admit. Happened with my first flash of a SMT-5600 back in the winmo days up til now.

Is funny how even Android phones are drastically different. My old Streak took ROMs like a champ no matter what you had previously done.

I guess I need to quick effing with my phone and dumping bloatware before I read up on it...

Thank god for the change, I could barely read **** back in the days cuz I have bad eyes. U might have to wait for custom ROMs to come out in Tablet mode to find out if it's possible.

I paid the same shipping as you.

When I bought my galaxy nexus from handtec, I also paid roughly the same amount for tax & handling fee.

It's possible the brokerage fee was included for you and not the others. I've had numerous times where Fedex invoiced me a couple weeks later in the mail for the brokerage fee.

I am looking for a battery that has the highest quality/ Mah that's the same size as stock. Meaning, there would be no need for a new back cover.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Anker 1900 is meant to be good.
[HTC Sensation] art0605:
Thanks, I figured it would be. Didnt know if there was anything a little bit bigger and was quality. Hopefully the Misses will be happy with it.
[HTC Sensation] topcat0:
I've been using a BXT DPD G14 I found on eBay for 5 or 6 months now and it works very well. Fits with the original back and all. This is (supposed to be) a 2300 mAh batt. Even if it's not a full 2300 mAh batt., it still works pretty good and for $8, it ain't bad.
[HTC Sensation] guns for hire:
The anker/chichitec 1900s and the Mugen 1950 seem to be recognized as the three most true to their rating. All have had their share of positive reviews, as well as a handful of lacklustre reviews. I personally purchased the Mugen, but any of the three will likely work just fine for you.
[HTC Sensation] Moon2:
The Saner battery also seems to be really good.
[HTC Sensation] mingkee:
Momax X-Level 1700mA/h works for me.
[HTC Sensation] vvalcoff:
I have used several different batteries, over time the best one I have use have been the 2010mAh AceSoft. After a few months of use these batteries lasted a lot longer then any of the other ones that I, or my friends have used. A little more money but well worth it.
[HTC Sensation] PC Jona:
me and my girlfriend both have anker 1900 batteries and it causes random shutdowns and its extremely annoying.

i bought an evo 3d battery which is 1730 mah and the same size.. should give about 9 hours of use. im waiting for it to come in the mail. but im back to the stock battery and no random reboots.

wouldnt recommend anker to anyone. just saying.
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
I use the mugen-power 1950mAh since january and it's great!

No need for a back cover and you get enough fuel to do whatever you want and without problems (random reboots with anker...?).

I really recommend it ;)
[HTC Sensation] xaboren:
jona compare the sice of the anker you have to your oem battery, it's probably a bit shorter. I have heard of people having random shut downs and I can tell you, your battery isn't broken or anything, it's most likely just a bit to short.

Try putting a little bit of plastic or paper additional to your anker battery in your phone - so it's like phone, papper/plastik, battery, connectors, phone....

There is even a post out there in xda about that.

Hope that helps.

Its a fantastic battery, claims 1900mah its actually 1950mah according to an app. also battery benchmark for stock was 240pt and Anker came in just under 500. thats a true improvement!!:D
[HTC Sensation] gilla409:
I know I'm a bit late, but I have to say that my Chichitec 1900 mAh battery is fantastic! Fits great, and lasts noticeably longer than the stock battery. I've also read far fewer negative reports on the Chichitec battery compared to the Anker and others.

I highly recommend it. :)
[HTC Sensation] 92drls:
Ive had the anker and am now using the evo 3d battery (1730), both of which are fanstastic but the htc evo battery is cheaper on Amazon. Always lasted at least 24 hours either way. Surely you've already gotten one by now though...

OMG, the lack of the comma now and the stupid settings key is pissing me off! :D

And with ICS Leak, both old & new Swift Key have been weird. Sometimes it'll start editing in the middle of a sentence instead of at the end and won't let me force it to start editing at the end of a sentence.

I'll try to reflash a ROM to see if it helps.

I'm also curious, what are people complaining about? I've had my screen on for the last 4 hours customizing, playing with and generally enjoying ICS. I've yet to experience any issues whatsoever...? Genuinely wondering what problems people are having? Why would they put the ICS release candidate on their staging/soak server if it was riddled with bugs?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xgshortbus25:
Hummmm

Have you people really used ICS I think its horrible even if they do get it working on these phones it still sucks! Just make the battery last a month on one charge and connect to any wi-fi without having to log in, and make apps shut off when you exit out of them. That's all we want out of our phones right??? We can only dream about having phones that work right there will always be someone with an issue with their phone as long as we are getting phones that do all these great things!! Sorry my little rant i'm just done hearing everyone saying when is ICS coming to our phones!! Everyone knows when they do release it thousands will install and instantly start having issues so then another update and another it will never end! How many phones that are out work perfectly? I probably wont even update to ICS when it comes I like the way my phone works now and know where everything is! If you want ICS just install a different launcher done!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] just lou:
Back in February, everyone was screaming for ICS on their Asus Transformer. Now, the majority of people wished they never got it because it has caused nothing but grief for many (not all) owners. (lockups, random reboots, and general instability).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sovrce:
Read the last sentence of my post above yours. Again... what would Verizon (of all companies) put on their staging server? A virus? A broken build? One filled with problems, issues and instability? No. It was a release candidate. Something Google submitted to them, they looked at, signed off on and put on their server for testing. The rumor was that it got pulled because there was no way to side-load it, like if someone took their phone to an in-store rep and complained about connectivity/stability/SIM/data issues, the rep couldn't update the unit on site. That's obviously been fixed because the last people that were able to install it did so with the build on their phone and flashed directly on it.

The fact that there's a working, stable, **hardware accelerated**, updated ICS build that's running perfectly fine on my and hundreds of other RAZRs means what? That you should wait for this soak test, then a couple more weeks, then that OTA rolls out, then another couple weeks, then a soak test, then another couple weeks and then ICS? Can you really justify waiting 6-8+ weeks when we were PROMISED 4.0 in Q1 of 2012? Whoever's whining/complaining about problems, please point them out? I want to see what (potential) issues this build might have? Right now I have absolutely none.

I guess what I'm asking is: What did Verizon put on their server if not the official ICS, 4.0.3 build, dated March 25th? And for whatever it's worth, that's about the most updated build of ICS in existence. You want to know what 4.0.4 brings? Faster screen rotation. Go ahead and hold out for that...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xgshortbus25:
I don't know what to say

I have seen a couple where people have 4g issues and whatever all I can ask now is how do you know cheesecake is pointing you all at verizon's update server and not someones ROM they built and works OK you don't! You could have nothing more than a tweaked version to make you think it is one from Moto and Verizon! When it comes to stock phones you can be sure it's legit until then who knows what you have! I completely believe that they wouldn't put anything up that doesn't work or they have signed off on it but if they had put it on there update server then everyone could get it without having to point your update to look somewhere else! All I need is for it to work the way it is I'm happy with GB install a ICS theme if you want the look. It will come if it comes when their ready they wouldn't put it anywhere anyone could get it its not ready just not that simple!

So we could possibly get ICS instead of .181 correct? Is there any news on the delay of the soak test? I looked about an hour ago.
