[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BIGWORM:
And that's why I never have ANYTHING in the same pocket as my phone.

You can try rubbing alcohol on a q-tip WITH THE PHONE OFF AND THE BATTERY PULLED.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cragains:
I would try this

Purchase a multipurpose stain remover that dissolves glues and adhesives from your local home-improvement center or hardware store. Popular brands such as Un-Du, Goo Gone and Goof Off are solvents that safely eliminate glue from clothing and fabrics, among other surfaces.

2

Follow directions on how to apply the solution by referring to the product label. If you are instructed to spray or pour it onto a cloth, use a material that is gentle enough for your LCD screen, such as terry cotton or microfiber. Applying the solution with a cleaning cloth is recommended over spraying the screen directly and is less likely to make a mess.

3

Dab the glue residue with a cloth until the solvent begins to soften it. Wipe the area using moderate pressure and notice the glue loosen from the screen with ease.

4

Do not hesitate to allow the solvent to dissolve the residue longer if any stubborn film persists. The petroleum- or limonene-based solutions safely remove residue without harming the surface.

I would think because of the gorilla glass's chemical resistance the goo gone solution would work to dissolve the gum from any area's, yet maintain the integrity of the glass or surrounding area....

:D

Solve

Go to Wal-Mart and but something called Goo-Be-Gone it is in a clear bottle and it is orange. Now just spray it on a rag and wipe, it will remove like butter.

Not putting any chems on he screen.

Managed to rub some off but still too much...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DeeXii:
Alcohol would be Ok, Though I would try glass cleaner on a cloth first...

Nail polish remover is a huge NO! That will also slightly eat the surface of the screen resulting most likely in swirl marks, alcohol will not do this.

Just Sayin'...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DrmMaster:
I figure If your willing to unlock, root, and possibly brick your 500 device. You should have no issue attempting this..

Reflash your router with DD-WRT. and boost the output from 25mW to (in my case) 80mW...It made all the difference with the prime. Extreem range and speed increase!!!

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Here is the supported device list. Was well worth 10mins.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Wish my revision was supported. Sigh. I have actiontec (verizon fios) rev H.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Really, 10 mins? I've flashed DDWRT onto a Linksys router in the past and even with that knowledge, I still wouldn't say it would take me 10 minutes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cragains:
Well, I have a few wirless N dlink, and netgear routers I will be trying this on

Didnt see any wireless repeaters in that list :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude6595:
Be aware that this can sometimes slow your router down....of course it's rare but it can happen....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>Didnt see any wireless repeaters in that list

You can set a DD-WRT router to be a bridge, AP, or repeater. It's cheaper to retrofit old routers into repeaters.

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linking_Routers

Increasing radio power is good for congested environments, but isn't a panacea. Watch out for increased heat. Many routers have poor heat venting, eg Linksys "UFO" series, and are already borderline. Bumping up power w/o better ventilation will likely cause instability, one symptom of which is periodic rebooting. This usually occurs in summer months with high ambient temp.

For the Linksys "UFO" models, one simple method for better ventilation is to either mount it vertically with ports facing down (it has vents at the opposite side), or just turn it upside down.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DrmMaster:
Let me know if it was as a dramatic improvement for you, as it was me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
What if it fries your brain? :eek:

Good idea though for people that had bad luck with their wifi. I'd say the best solution for at home is still a simple wifi repeater.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r0ck0:
I bought the Asus RT-N66u and it allows the FCC maximum of 500mw. I can see my access point two blocks away. If only the return signal was strong enough. Awesome router btw. Very good performance and good reviews.

Oh, the irony.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
I plan on trying in the morning, thanks for the tip
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Defiant79:
I've been running DDWRT on my Linksys E4200 for some time now. I think it works quite a bit better than the stock firmware. Biggest thing is to take time and read the forums over there and make sure understand what you are doing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
I actually just flashed dd-wrt for a different reason yesterday.

I took my prime into places where my connection was bad and I'm getting 5x the speed in those places
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
I have two routers. If I'm reading there website right there is no firmware for either yet. The site is kind of confusing any chance someone can take a look and make sure I'm right? Netgear wgr414v10 and Netgear wnr1000v2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brantje:
Which one shoudl i change?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tst1212:
If you have a stock antenna be careful how high you go, you can fry your router. If you really want range, look into antennas as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I flashed DD-WRT to my router for the first time ever a couple of months ago. Even that initial flash only took me about 10 minutes, and 5 to set up my network the way I like it; excluding going through all the wonderful tiny settings like a giddy school-boy on Christmas. That's a pretty accurate measurement of time for anyone savvy with electronics in general. I wouldn't want someone who wasn't trying to flash DD-WRT or anything for that matter :eek:

I still disagree too. Maybe if you're lucky and live near 20+ Mb/s connections, but on our 5/10 Mb/s connections, the reduction in speed caused by a repeater is unacceptable and would be just as bad as my Prime's natural degradation.

I only ever recommend an entirely second AP and truly increased network or nothing. I hate repeaters lol especially since you can even bridge wireless connections and put up a second AP without a hard-line. I prefer to use cable, but it is always an option.

This, e.mote generally knows what's up. This sector of electronics indeed has some of the worst ventilation schemes in existence, I have yet to own a modem, bridge, router, repeater, switch, whatever that didn't need some help dissipating heat. Therefore ramping up their power consumption is very risky unless you take some preventative measures about all the heat it's going to draw. Which is a **** ton with the kind of increase the OP put, the equipment in your average (read tech illiterate) house would burn up with the quickness.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rushless:
Wouldn't the mW increase mainly exacerbate the attenuation problem due to the aluminum? Not to mention at least a 10% decrease in battery life and warmer chip, but the Prime has plenty of breathing room due to the footprint (not a phone) and long battery life (10% from ten hours is still great).

If the aluminum were not there, that would be some serious reception.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DrmMaster:
I did do some research on my choice of 80mW. (On my particular router)...Have not noticed drain on TP batt. Or any ill effects on the router itself. However I did get greedy. And attempted 90mW. And that was a total failure. Constant signal drops from the TP. and transmit errors.

But Im happy. We all know the risks involved. And I can now stream 720p in the Master bedroom hooked to my projector. and before I could bearly stream a Low res divx.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willumpie82:
i did this router mod on my Netgrear WNDR3700v1, it took me a little longer because of all the settings i had top copy from my original firmware.

i set it up to 22dBm, massive improvement of range! thanx for the tip!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
damn... for both of my routers the firmware is still "wip"... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justmart:
Well I've never had wifi issues... but my router always had this firmware, by default the setting is 71... for me it have been working good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
me too :( this would of probably worked for my ps3 too
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesse6749:
I would have done this a long time ago, but they do not have any files for my D-Link dgl-4500 or dir-855 routers so I am out of luck as I have used DD-WRT firmware on almost every router I have owned in the past 5 years.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
There are some things Tomato improves upon, but yeah, I can't even think of going back to stock firmwares on my routers. Can't live without controlling every nook and cranny of my network lol. Just wish that QOS could be implemented better in DD-WRT, that's one of the few things Tomato holds over it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willumpie82:
bummer, it seems it had a placebo effect, reading the status window of ddwrt tells me it is just transmitting 17dBm, fiddeling with the settings teached me that the regularity domain is playing its part. when I press apply, the wifi disappears and returns with 3 instead of 2 bars, 5 secs later it is gone again and comes back with 2 bars.

does anyone know a way to fool the regularity domain setting, i tried a few but doesn't seems to make a different (should I need a reboot of the router?)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
Mucking with routers is good when you own them, but no good in some situations: like a work place or airport :'(. Well, in most cases not legally.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Also, MAKE SURE you are trying to use kernels (and/or firmwares when you move onto firmwares) meant for your phone. If you got these kernels from a thread in the I9100 forums, make SURE you have an I9100 by looking on the label under your device's battery.

I have seen a ton of people flash kernels and firmwares/ROMs intended for a different device, and the results have varied from the device not functioning quite right, to an outright brick that had to get sent back to Samsung.

Pretty much every kernels here dont require you to unzip them, you flash them as they are. As everyone above says, read the instructions. I also know a lot of computers, but sadly pretty much no knowledge of that is useful for phones, unless you know programming.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
What thread are you getting the file from, and reading? Cause it REALLY seems you are not following the instructions correctly. The zImage file IS the kernel, but it has to be in a .tar file to flash in Odin. So it sounds as if you've unzipped it twice instead of just once, maybe.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I just TOLD you what you were doing wrong. I'm starting to think you really have no business doing this yourself.

If you end up with a zImage file, you unzipped it one too many times. Put the file that CONTAINS the zImage file into Odin.

[Q] Instantly dropped from any 3g network "Error searching for networks". Any ideas?

No matter what SIM card, ROM, or network provider I use I am consistently losing my connection. I receive "The selected network (#####) is unavailable", "Error while searching for network", and other related messages. The issue is so pervasive the phone is completely unusable. 3G networks will outright refuse a connection or if they do connect, only last a matter of seconds. 2G networks seem to fail less often.

Does anyone have any advice on how I might continue to tackle this issue? I love my phone but I need it to work.

I unlocked my bootloader and flashed the leak ICS. Now I wish to get HC back but I'm stuck at the ICS bootloader. I can not seem to get the HC bootloader back whatever I do. I have been battling with this for two days now, reading the posts here and elsewhere and searching the net.

You first need to flash the stock 009 leak of ics, that will rewrite the bl with the stock ics one. Then you have to flash stock hc from and perform a hard reset. Hope this helps :-)
