I first used the otg/4g thumbdrive mths ago on a gb dxkl3 cf-rooted s2. In the past mths, my s2 have moved to checkrom v6 cf-rooted/siyah, icd dxlp7 cf-rooted, and now omega v11.1 siyah. My home pc is vista, my notebook is win7, my office pc was xp but now just chg to win7. The 4g thumbdrive can only be assessed by the s2, regardless of the rom/kernel, and cannot be recognised by a pc, regardless of the window platform. I have not seen anyone reporting this prob, and this make me curious as to how i got the thumbdrive into this state. The thumbdrive is not damaged else the s2 will not r/w it now. Very strange ...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mihir23:
Found some here as well (for people everywhere else in the world)

since i am not allowed to post a link, go to dealextreme.com (or DX.COM) to find the adapter. I've used it before and many phone accessories are pretty cheap. Only drawback is that it can take nearly a month for your stuff to come :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] adik82:
Hmmm.. IF its raw then windows will not see it as an storage device because it doesnt have an assigned letter. You need to do this first . Insert the storage device windows will bark at u saying it isnt formated and if you want to format it. click no then go to the my computer icon right click on manage then disk managment . itwill bring new window up showing all your storage devices and thier assigned drive letters. you should also see the raw storage device- right click and try to format. if it doesnt not let you . go ahead and try to assign it a drive letter. right click it once more this time assign drive letter choosing letter no in use most likely after E: or F: .

if that doesnt work you need to edit the registery... By doing another step.

try this registry edit please make sure you back up before making any changes. with that being said here is the way to modify your settings so that the one gig be recognized.

1. Open Start Menu*

2. Run----- type regedit and press enter this will open the registry editor.*

3. Navigate to the following path:* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies*

4. Double click the key WriteProtect in the right pane and set the value to 0 In the Value Data Box and press OK*

5 exit Registry*

6. Restart your computer and reconnect your USB pen drive on your computer. Thats the last thing i could thinnk of and also verified that it work for others with your type of situation.* good luck :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bruce MJ:
I'm running win7x64 n i have no such value in my reg, under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

there's no "StorageDevicePolicies"

any idea? thank you.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] aero125:
Hey thanks ! There is an assigned drive letter F, and window still wanted me to format it. Now, after backing up all the files in the s2, I went straight to format it. The formating process failed and window gave a message that the format cannot be recognised. I tried restoring it to default, formating it to fat, exfat, ntfs .... all failed. I have tried all these in xp, vista and win7. And strange enough, the files are all intact and the s2 can still assess them. I will try the registry mode. I am tempted to otg another thumb drive to see if it will exhibit the same strange behaviour ... thanks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] adik82:
Hmmm..ok so tell me one thing.. Have you installed any registry cleaner on your PC ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] santi221192:
Im definetly buying one =D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gianluka11:
Sorry, but with exactly what you tried to connect the portable usb? :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] adik82:
Can you please ask your question again ? I am not able to understand that what are you trying to ask.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gianluka11:
My english isn't good, sorry..

What have you tried connecting with usb connector?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] adik82:
I have tried ..mouse , keyboard, pendrive till now all of them are working fine.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gianluka11:
Thanks a lot! :D
[HTC Titan] krillin:
Hey guys. I have a HTC Titan II and started using it yesterday. I placed the sim card I had from my previous phone (xperia play r800a), and noticed that it shows I have a 4G connection. However, as soon as I open up the browser nothing happens. Says there is something wrong with my data connection. I took the card out and placed it back in my xperia play. Internet seemed fine.

Then I read that it may have to do with my sim not being a 4G LTE sim; so I went to the ATT store this morning and got a new sim. I asked if it was a 4G LTE sim, and the girl informed me that all newer sims are 4G LTE sims. I took the new sim and placed it in the T2. Still nothing.

So I am unsure as to what the issue is. I have a cheap unlimited ATT data plan that has been working like a champ for the last couple of years. I figured that at the very least, I would get 3G speeds on the T2 since I am not on a 4G plan.

Any advice? Thanks!!
[HTC Titan] foxbat121:
You have to have your data plan updated to the LTE plan (you get to keep what ever data cap you have today, unlimited or else). You can do it by calling customer service or in AT&T stores. Otherwise, it will not work. The LTE connection uses pta APN which requires LTE data plan on your account.
[HTC Titan] krillin:
Thanks for the info. I am currently paying $30 for unlimited data (non-smartphone) with texting. I am assuming when switching over to LTE that I'll be responsible for paying some sort of premium because I'm guessing they don't have non-smartphone LTE plans. :P

I managed to get data to work by editing the APN info on the phone. It works, but I do not think it's running at LTE speeds or even 4G (even though it says 4G at the top of my phone).
[HTC Titan] sumeet909:
What APN did you enter? Just do following to get 4G speeds:

1) Add APN

2) wap.cingular

3) Reboot or wait 3-4 mins

I just switch to LTE APN. It is fast, but from what I'm reading online, I've set myself up for tighter AT&T controls around tethering, throttling etc. But, I can confirm that it is backwards compatible.
[HTC Titan] krillin:
I went to the connection settings, pressed on "ADD APN". For the name, I entered, "AT&T HSPA+". That's it, and internet works. It says 4G at the very top of my phone, but not LTE. I assumed this was normal. Would entering wap.cingular be faster?

Thanks!

I think AT&T HSPA+ is supposed to be quicker than wap.cingular

I read it some place a few minutes ago but I lost the page. Someone ran a test and speedtest.net had higher speeds and lower pings.
[HTC Titan] foxbat121:
You will need the pta APN to get LTE connection. You will need Phone APN to get real HSPA+ speed (if you want anything over 6mbps). Otherwise, wap.cingular gives you 3G speed (which all new AT&T phones will show it as 4G, lame).

Both pta and Phone APN requires specific data plan codes on your account (If you have LTE data plan, you can use both pta and Phone APNs but HSPA+/4G data plan can only use Phone APN).

AT&T did so exactly to prevent customers like you who have an old non-smartphone data plan to take advantage of its new high speed data network without paying for it.

In most places, HSPA+ speed is not much quicker than 3G/wap.Cingular beause AT&T's HSPA+ network is over congested. However, LTE is on a separate network and the data speeds are significantly faster than HSPA+.
[HTC Titan] krillin:
Geez...tell me how you truly feel. :P

JK! Thanks for clearing that up.
[HTC Titan] foxbat121:
LoL, nice editing. NBC should hire you :)

Now you have to decide whether to save $$ but use slower 3G data or pay up to trade for higher speed. You won't get to keep the unlimited because your current plan is not qualified smartphone plan. So, basically you are looking at $30 for 3GB + $20 for unlimited text.
[HTC Titan] shawnl01:
Need a SIM card

I had the same problem as I got my phone free from a MS store (traded them my old windows mobile device for it). I ended up having to take the phone to an AT&T store and they stated that my SIM card would never work with the phone for data. It was a 3G SIM card. They also changed the data plan so maybe both are required.
[HTC Titan] foxbat121:
Both are required. But if your existing SIM is new enough it should support LTE without problem (there was a specific SIM card ID range to support LTE).

BTW, if your phone is connecting on LTE, it will show LTE instead of 4G on the notification bar.
[HTC Titan] sumeet909:
for whatever reason, I read somewhere around here that that particular SIM made your "smartphone exclusion" hold-up against most recent phones. So, you gave that benefit away - don't worry if you don't know much about it.
[HTC Titan] metalgod862:
wap.cingular gave me data thanks! But I am a little confused is it 3g or HSPA+? I don't need to change my data plan for LTE (since it isn't in Seattle yet) but I want to change it if I am not getting HSPA+
[HTC Titan] Tachi91:
HSPA+ in WP7 gets represented with an "H" or "4G"

3G gets represent with a regular "3G"

LTE with "LTE"

Most likely you are under HSPA+ ... Do a Speed Test with an app like "Bandwidth" to see where you max out and that should give you an idea if its 3G or H
[HTC Titan] metalgod862:
it says 4g and I get about 3mbs I am assuming its HSPA+ thanks for clarifying!
[HTC Titan] foxbat121:
All AT&T new phones, including iPhone with iOS5 update, will say 4G even if it is on 3G. It really doesn't matter much. 3G and HSPA+ in most places are same speed. You only need to worry about it if you want LTE. If you don't have LTE, leave it alone.
[HTC Titan] ryanmcc31:
I have put both APNs mentioned and that seems to work for a little while, but eventually the data cuts out again.

Is this an issue similar to what is happening with the Lumina 900? Is this a Microsoft problem or AT&T? And is anyone else still having issues after updating the apn like I am?
[HTC Titan] hrzlvn:
try APN:phone

Name:whatever

it works for me.
[HTC Titan] krillin:
does nothing for mine. i've tried it already.
[HTC Titan] foxbat121:
Your data plan limits you to wap.cingular APN only. Nothing else will work for you.
[HTC Titan] krillin:
Since my MMS and tethering no longer work with this phone, it looks as if I may have to switch out my plan(s) and fork over $70 ($50 data+$20 text). IMHO, a bit of a rip off...OR I can just go back to my xplay and everything will work as it was...but where is the fun in that?
[HTC Titan] foxbat121:
Or you can save $200 and buy the original Titan (for free) which uses only wap.cingular (I have one thanks for MS and know it uses that APN only). Since you are not going to need the LTE, what's the point of Titan II?
[HTC Titan] krillin:
Cuz it's sooo much cooler!! JK!

I already own the Titan II, which was given to me so I couldn't swap it out for the original Titan even if I wanted to.

Besides, I have read that the Titan 1 had little quirks like reception issues. The T2 has a 16MP camera! :D
[HTC Titan] sumeet909:
I got Titan 2 for free under the same program :)

I want to sell it, currently on craigslist for $390 (including case and 2 yr warranty).

Let me know if anyone wants to buy it...DC area.
[HTC Titan] tamiktamik:
You need to upgrade to the LTE plan bro. Go to your nearest phone service provider and ask them for it till they do it, I had the same problem and AT&T fixed it when I was at their store. No big deal brah.
[HTC Titan] shawnl01:
Service Drops

Is anyone seeing the data service just drop after some time. I spent most of my time on WiFi but find that the Cellular service is actually dead after a few days. Disabling it in the settings and turning it back on doesn't help. Rebooting the phone brings up the data connection just fine. If I turn the wifi off and just use the data then it doesn't do this; but I can't afford to not use the wifi. Based on the usage reports, it tends to go dead in about a day as AT&T records no usage.

This is also affecting my voicemail notifications as it doesn't tell me I have voice mail if it can't get a data connection.
[HTC Titan] maverickmt:
yes

yes... Exact same problem, 2 titan 2's 2 different lte sim card enterprise 5gb lte plan... Have you had any luck finding a solution?
[HTC Titan] shawnl01:
might be at&t

I've not found a solution but I spent a week in Toronto roaming on Bell. I never had the problem while there so I think the issue may be at&t or the titan on at&t

I also found toggling flight mode works instead of rebooting.
[HTC Titan] maverickmt:
i agree... i tried changing my plan today - still no luck (enterprise to personal) Pretty rediculous. I think its an issue with the apn - but no way to check...
[HTC Titan] shawnl01:
Anyone escalate

Has anyone brought this up with HTC / AT&T to get their response?

I've tried to contact AT&T about another issue and they can't seem to get past the fact that I have a phone that they didn't sell to me. Taking it to a store pretty much got the same result that they didn't want to go too far because there was no contract tied to the phone. I bought a case from them just so they'd get the data working at all as I needed account changes and a new SIM card. It was given to me new by Microsoft in a box and they didn't seem to like the lost sales chance.

HTC is a joke, what's the point of registering for their forum if it won't let me even post a question. I'm trying to send them an email but they will likely bounce me to AT&T. Makes me wonder if it's not AT&T since it worked on Bell so much better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
These two ROMs, Superlite and Sky ICS seem to be the best alternatives for moving my Skyrocket to ICS. I'm not going to ask which to install, I know what you will tell me..…try them both.

I'm hoping I can get some opinion as to which is more stable, more likely to install well over my configuration without problems, which is being developed more regularly, which has more known bugs, stuff like that, battery life.

I have a 727R, that's the Rogers Skyrocket, with the latest CWM, the faux kernel, 2.6.35.14, v10m. The radio is i727UCLA3, and the ROM is UCLA3_2.3.6_rom.

I want to install with a ZIP file, without the leaked ICS via ODIN. Not sure if this matters.

So grateful to any advice.

Harry
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
They are both being developed regularly. Read through the threads and you will see development, bugs, and progression.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
there are 100's of pages of threads from different periods in their respective developments. It's hard to keep straight what's old and what's current.

I'm looking for help, the same as I would give you if you asked. so please xcrazydx, if you have nothing of value to offer it's better you just don't waste your valuable time replying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hcyplr29:
Its easy to try them out yourself. Everyone is different. Flash one, run it for a few days then flash the other.

PS. Don't be a jerk, and just go read for yourself. We don't owe you anything. Quit being lazy!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
Not as simple as you think. Over the last 2 weeks since the leak, there has been talk of Rogers not working, or having to install the leak first with Odin and then install a ZIP rom. Also worried about the radio with Rogers, I've heard problems with that.

So I'm nervous, and I'm looking for some help. No, you don't owe me anything. I try to help people here who I don't owe anything. It's just the decent thing to do. It's why we have discussion forums with places for questions. And how is it lazy by asking people to share experiences? Jeez, this place is turning ugly. Try to remember when you were new here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeff210:
The whole thing about it is, if you don't do the reading, you will most likely end up writing repeat questions because you didn't feel like doing the reading to fix any little issues you may have with a ROM. Reading first is like getting free experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You asked about 2 specific roms. If you don't have the time to read through some posts you shouldn't be here and you shouldn't be flashing anything at all. I help people all the time, but this is something you must do on your own. No reading = you asking stupid questions that have already been answered multiple times.

I gave you a courteous answer and explained they are both worked on regularly by the devs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
Which is not what I asked. Why don't you go away. I can say for certain you've turned me off this forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
Jeff, I have read both threads completely. I don't understand why I can't ask a simple question here about experience with Rogers phones on these two ROMs coming from Gingerbread just to get confirmation that there are no major issues which were first reported when the leak came out.

And I don't understand why people who don't want to answer, feel they have to come her and criticize.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
Didn't even ask about smooth ice by rem... Which i think is super awesome too... The long and short is this, all the roms are built from same base so not really any huge differences
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeff210:
I can give you my opinion if that would help. I had less problems with sky ics. None are perfect. But both are better than stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I can say for certain that you are lazy, rude, and incompetent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
Right back at you.

LTE service no longer working

I have changed the apn settings to lteinternet.apn and nothing happens. im on the new release from the real thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Everyone has told you the same thing, read the thread. I even answered your question about which ones were being developed regularly. I don't know what your problem is. Other people called you lazy and a jerk, yet you lashed out at me and I did nothing but try to help you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeff210:
Don't mind this guy. I think he is from Louisiana.

JK xcrazydx. Lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Hahaha, I tried to help. Without reading the threads of the roms in question one cannot make an educated decision on which one is best for your needs. I even answered one of his questions. I don't get what his problem with me is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NightHawkUndead:
If u want an opinion. Sky ICS. Then remove more Bloat if you want and make it more "super lite" my "opinion" is Sean updates more often and listens what people want. But it is so easy to just flash both and give both roms a try and see what "you" think is better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Both roms are based off the same ics leak so in that regard they are equally stable. Just install the from that has more of the features u want, because from a majority perspective both have been well received
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whatlobster:
I can't comment on Sky ICS but I've been using Superlite 5.0 for a while now and I'm very satisfied with it. It's very stable and relatively bugless for me. But to repeat what others have said, it's really down to personal preference. Both roms come from the same source, therefore stability wise there isn't going to be a major difference. If it helps, I used both sean and mhx's GB roms, and I preferred the latter, which was a big part of why I went with ICS Superlite in the first place.

Just finished installing SKY ICS exactly by the instructions in the OP. Coming from Rogers gingerbread.

Installed like an absolute dream. Runs beautifully, smoothly. All my applications work as well.

Those holding back, make your nandroid and titanium backups, and go to it. Thanks to those who recommended it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jacobs005:
Thanks to those who shared their opinions

So reading through this thread, I would like to share my thoughts since a few have done so without reason or filter.

I am new to the skyrocket. I have had this fantastic device now for about 3 weeks. I was going to wait for the S3, but my cappy decided to crap out on me before then. So the day I got the skyrocket I turned to XDA and started reading everything I could. I read through all the stickies about rooting and ICS. I then read through the threads of the ICS ROMs. I can honestly say, that even after all that, I had no idea which ROM I should flash. There were a variety of different people that had a various different issues over the life of the roms, some isolated, some not. It was really hard to tell which one I would have the least amount of problems on, in fact I was just more confused.

Then reading through the General and QA, I came on this thread which was basically the same question I had, “In your Opinion, what is your favorite rom and why?” I can tell you that no-where in any of the dev threads, does it say that Sean updates his rom more frequently or is more attentive to his users requests or that one user preferred superlite over sky because he had previously spent time with their GB roms, which gave him a feel for the devs.

The skinny is that it’s really nice to get it right the first time instead of trying 4 or 5 different roms and struggling to find a good one, especially when the phone is required for work. It’s also just nice to be able to ask for advice from the senior members in the QA section (which is from my understanding, one of the reasons there is a QA section) and get some good opinions. So with that, I can say that as of 2 days ago, I flashed SkyICS and have had a great experience thus far. So thanks to those who donated their opinions, they are valued. I wish I had bothered to ask this question with my cappy back in the day. It would've saved me time, even though I read through every rom thread before flashing.

Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
See, the problem with this mentality though is that the features I value in a rom may not be the same for u, thus the reason many senior members suggest u try out a few. I don't know about other phones, but the devs for ours in active development are all good, so its kinda hard so say "the rest are crap, use x.". Please try to formulate your own opinion
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxsicknessxx:
I will try to help. Dunno what everyone problem is. You should read up on them (I assume you did read up on them and now your asking people who have tried them)

I have not tried ics roms yet but I have MHX superlite rom and I must say its super fast, stable, no one issue so far. Based off trying other roms and such I will say I think MHX is really good at what he does and I would go with his rom first based off stababilty. I have asked the same question you did.

From what I was told from people who have tried ICS roms is this. MHX ICS superlite rom is most stable now as a daily driver and gets updates all the time however If your scared about ICS stablabilty I would stick with GB like I did...

I don't think any rom is perfect I have read about LOTS of problems and it seems there is no 100percent way to garentee you won't have the same problems.
