Any pressure like having it simply accidently leaning on it could very easily spread the crack... I'd stear clear lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tk161900:
I would just buy a kit off amazon for $20 and fix it yourself
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
If dropped it will spread.

On a side note...I'll sell you mine for $400 in pristine condition :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jerald2:
I'm buying it for 275 does the price make up for it?

Hell no
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Nope....display alone is $100+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Yeah I wouldn't. You would have to be super gentle with it always or it might spread. But in the end it's all up to you.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dets34:
Sure you might save a couple hundred now but in a few months when the crack spreads you'll be spending a lot more. Might as well spend the bigger bucks up front for a new phone instead of buying a cracked one an then possibly having to also buy a new one shortly after.. Just my $0.02
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Haxel:
That type of crack will only spread.

Some on the corners can be stopped with superglue if not a structural crack like that one. The torsion of the phone alone will cause that crack to spread.

I wouldn't buy it, by time you're done buying a new display (and the pain in the rear of attempting to separate a broken screen from the adhesive) it will be at least 400-450 total for the phone. That is, if you dont break the filament for the touch buttons at the bottom trying to separate it from glass shards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
I wouldn't buy it for more than 100 dollars. Screen will cost you 175 conservatively, so tack that on.

275 total is good for a used phone that probably has other issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jerald2:
Thanks guys

Thanks guys looks like im not going with that phone. Im looking at a slightly used Gnex for 315 :)

Not unless they suddenly become the most valuable company in the world...

I'm not an Apple fanboy at all, I love Android, but the way they do business really can't be beat. Their products do need a step up though, they're falling behind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
Yup I agree they make have more money then that US government probably lol jk anyways mm Samsung is a hit or miss sometimes and I never like the GS2 and the GS3 looks nice but I hate touchwiz way more then sense so is a no for me ... reason why I hate it so much is because from the beginning they made it look like a cheap iOS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
...so you have hate it because of what it looked like TWO years ago?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
Cause it hasn't change much I use to have a gs1 and I had a Epic touch 4G sure they changed the touchwiz a bit but I still don't like it idk why but I just don't like touchwiz and this new phone has something just like siri I know cause it looks almost the same( I do own a iphone 4S). They always trying to make the things so similar to the iphone that is not even funny like the first galaxy s for T-Mobile look like a 3GS lol and that new voice actions like siri. Sense try to make them a bit different and Google definetely go different way too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehgyb:
Lol Samsung is bigger than Apple, when you look at the entire company. Samsung does a whole lot more than just electronics, and pretty much dominates Asia in everything from phones, computers and TVs, to cranes, bulldozers, and even whole buildings...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
+1

Galaxy also has been outselling the iPhone 2 years running last I read.

It's funny cuz whenever I think of Apple, I think of this scene,

Except it's Steve Jobs instead of Ferrell, so all Samsung has to do is get into the brainwashing game, the marketing is getting better too....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Well, with all the fancy marketing terms and strong fanbase with lots of fan boys.

I'd say yes.

I can also say that the iPhone is still the single best selling phone in the world. No one has topped it yet. However, Samsung sells more Galaxy phones, not one of them has gotten even close to the 35mil set by the iPhone.

I have infact seem a Samsung set top box with a built in blu ray player http://www.trustedreviews.com/samsung-bd-d8500_TV-recorder---set-top-box_review. That makes it a wrap.

Never will you see an apple washing machine or fridge, Samsung is a major player in most things electronic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ALIHISGREAT:
I think Samsung is similar to apple in that they release disappointing incremental products... they could have done so much more with the S3... just like apple could have done more with the 4s...

Its just that there is no pressure for either company to push the boundaries because they have no real competition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell12:
They dont need a STB http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/samsung-smart-tv-directv-without-stb/

samsung has built many of DirecTV's Set Top Boxes over the years, so they have those too! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
That is also set to the fact that if you want iOS you have a choice of 1 phone. Although I would not call that a choice, more like no choice.

If you want a Android device, you have so many to choose from with all different price ranges with all different features. Of course it would be harder for an Android manufacturer to sell 1 of their devices and match the numbers of an iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Correct, if you're a delusional hater of Apple.

Apple had the *first* ultrabook, and it's still considered the best by many (the MacBook Air).

Apple has had the best-selling smartphone in the world for years now with the iPhone line. In fact, it still is.

Apple's monitors are world-renowned for their quality. They're hella-expensive, but they're damn fine monitors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Let's not forget Samsung actually makes their products. And apple's.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Hey guys! Let's make a high quality phone with a sturdy build and then encase it in glass!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Apple vs Samsung is an entirely different debate than iOS vs Android. I prefer Android, unless Apple does something completely off the wall (like buy web OS to incorporate components into future versions of iOS). Apple, however, takes the time to make sure the device itself has a design (look and feel) that makes people think they are holding a premium product. Samsung phones, even though they are great, feel cheap.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
The system/boot image is packed in an Odin-flashable .tar. However, since I apparently suck at making Odin-flashable modem .tars, I'm including pterry30's CWM-flashable modem .zip for completionists sake.

Files Available

NB: The system-boot.tar is zipped to save space. Please extract the .tar before flashing via Odin.

pda-odin-telus-stock-system-boot.tar - This .tar contains the stock system.img.ext4 and stock boot.img and can be used to assist in resetting your flash counter using braway's method. Flash it via Odin's pda option. Unfortunately, no one has provided me with the stock Telus recovery thus I obviously cannot provide it to anyone else. Sorry.

Telus-Modem-CWM.zip - This .zip is made by pterry30 and contains the stock Telus modem/radio files. Just flash via Clockworkmod recovery.

SkyDrive folder containing all Telus files - Public SkyDrive folder that contains the above Telus files since my public DropBox links keep being suspended due to excessive traffic.

Disclaimer

I am in no way responsible for any damages caused to your Note by anything you flashed. These files are provided as is to help Telus Note owners return to stock after whatever they've done to their phones.

Special Thanks

adv1sory for providing the Telus system.img.ext4.

braway for taking my constant questions and providing much needed guidance in my first developer-ish project as well as for the flash counter reset.

Da_G for providing the stock Telus boot.img (kernel), instructions on using Odin, and indirectly showing me how to use the Linux terminal.

pterry30 for packaging the stock modem/radio files into a CWM-flashable .zip.

Please post your experiences with these stock Telus files below and if you have any questions, I'll do my best to help. Enjoy!!

Posted in General as per Development Forum Rules.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adv1sory:
Just flashed with odin and noticed the following:

1) the flash counter didnt reset, actually added 1 to the counter

2) after flashing, cwm was still on the phone. *flashed a stock telus recovery to fix that.

3) Does not automatically format internal sd

4) Does not restore to factory default settings

5) Boot up music doesnt play

Is it possible to fix these issues?

btw ... why is it such a huge image?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
Please read through the entire post. You didn't provide me with a recovery so I could not include it. Also, to use the flash-counter reset, you need CWM, which is why I don't typically include recovery in the Odin-flashable. See the link to braway's method in the OP. The way the flash-counter works, anything that you flash that isn't just a system image increases the flash counter. I had to include the kernel, thus the flash-counter goes up. Using braway's method that I linked to will allow you to completely restore your Note to stock using my files and the recovery you found. If you could provide me with a link to the recovery, I will gladly add it to the OP so others do not have to go looking for it.

No Odin-flashable .tar clears the internal sd or restores the phone to factory settings. It only changes the system image. Kind of like installing windows again on your computer doesn't overwrite all your data unless you format the hard drive.

Also, not owning a Telus Note, I didn't know there was supposed to be boot music. That I cannot explain. I used Da-G's kernel. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue.

As for file size, it's the same size as all the other ones. And the same size as the files you provided me. The system.img.ext4 on any Note is about 1 GB.

I hope this clears some of this up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] puleen:

help, cant get back to stock from ics custom rom.

tried flashing this with no success.

odin freezes and if it says it flashes successfully, phone wouldnt boot after the restart.

came from ics objection rom and wanting to go back to stock.

i cant get anything that i flash through odin working.

ics objection rom runs fine when i flash it back through cwm.

tried flashing stock rooted image from another thread and i get stuck at "the touch the android to begin screen".

any idea whats going on? i know im just doing something wrong because my phone works fine with the objection rom whenever i flash it but when i try to get back to stock, thats where everything gets messed up.

any kind of help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
I've found that the "touch the android to begin" problem occurs if you haven't factory reset when coming from ICS back to this stock ROM. Reboot into CWM and factory reset then reboot the phone,. You should now be able to touch the Android to begin. :)

Full Stock

------------------------

Hi,

I am trying to go back to full stock from a failed ICS update.

I flashed your pda-odin-telus-stock-system-boot.tar file and I

can get back into the phone but Kies won't allow me to do updates?

What is my next step? Do I need a Telus Stock Recovery file?

Is Kies looking at the flash counter and saying no to updating

my phone because it has gone up?

My phone is not rooted, never has been.

My understanding is Kies won't update if it is rooted and also

to reset the counter with Braway's method you need to be rooted....

I'm real new to all this and all I want is a stock Kies updateable

phone back. Maybe I should have just gave it back to Telus.... :mad:

Thanks for any help...

After installing the Telus-Modem-CWM.zip file, my phone found the system update and is currently downloading. I will post if this fixed the issue. In any case, Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Alpha Psi:
My phone is not updating. I have flashed the CWM touch using odin but it won't boot into CWM mode.

Strangely, my baseband remains T989 KJ3 even though I have manually uploaded the files from the "stock" files via adb... it changed from VKL to KJ3...

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot why I can't reboot to CWM? I have flashed it several times now and all were successful. From what I can tell, I have the stock image since I no longer have root.

I just want to say thank you for this. I know this is an old thread, but I just purchased a Rogers i717. I had it unlocked to use my TELUS account, and i kept getting strange errors.

I flashed the stock TELUS image, and modem. From 2.3.6 using Kies I was able to upgrade to 4.0.4.

I must say, TELUS does not put any bloatware on their device compared to the Rogers.

Thank you again

[Samsung Captivate Glide] doode2011:
Are you running the Inc3ption rom?

To turn it off, you have to go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Network > Uncheck use packet data. But you can get an app which allows you to control when the data is on or off and put a widget on the homescreen so you can turn it off/on asap instead of going through the method I gave you.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] doode2011:
Captivate glide doesn't have 4g.. It only has 3.5g. You can't go down to 3g manually.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] EMegamanu:
3.9G or 3G++ if you want to be accurate. But it doesn't matter, and I imagine he would want Edge to save more battery.

But I remember reading that it was not possible on the AT&T ROM. I think disabling sync when you don't need it could help a little.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
you can try:

- open dialer

- dial *#*#4636#*#*

- tap Phone Information

- scroll down to "Set preferred network type" (or similar)

- tap drop down and select "GSM only" or "GSM auto" if you want EDGE

oh one more thing, I have no idea if this persist upon reboot....sorry
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
I have the Rogers stock and I select 2G from the Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM only

This allows me at work to only use Edge as I have crappy reception at work and it keeps alternating from 2G to 4g (what the phone shows on top middle) Now I simply see an E and battery life is much better. I switch it when I leave work back to (GSM/HSPA(Auto mode)

You mentioned a widget that can do this from the home screen??? This I would like.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] LiquidXed:
Samsung website says it a 4g phone???
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kanagadeepan:
^^^^^^

It is just 3.75G and NOT real 4G... Further in AT&T stock ROM, there is NO way to disable 3G/HSPA or set 2G only... Even the *#*#4636#*#* method is NOT working, as I have tried that too...

Just flash the ROGER's ROM or any other Custom ROM here (Rooted_Rogers_stock, Osimood, inc3ption, etc) and you can select HSPA only (for fast data on good 3G coverage) or GSM only (to save battery in spotty 3G coverage area) and Auto mode also...

Further I use one app which stays in Notification bar showing current network and on clicking it, the above-said option will be shown (otherwise you have to goto Settings-->Wireless & Network-->Mobile Networks) and you can also enable/disable data on that same page... The app is called "Show and Switch 2G/3G" and its available in Google Play Store --> here....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] harryspar:
It's actually 3.623G if you want to be precise.

;-)

Actually compared to LTE speeds it's downright slow. But it's more than enough for most people.

Faster speeds just means you hit your data cap sooner....

Apex Launcher is kickass, followed by Nova, which I'm losing faith in. Both are ICS stock replacements / enhancements.

That Menu bar (if I understand your issue right) is not Launcher related, that always pops up, if you open apps, that are not yet ICS optimized.

You can also flash Virtuous ROM v.1.40 on Rootzwiki, that has eliminated the menu bar plus added task manager on longpressing Home button.
