[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
don't go to t-mobile stores. Talk to the loyalty/retention department, they usually hook it up when you upgrade/extend your contract. you should not be paying $230+ for this phone with an upgrade because you can find it off CL for about $300-375 (ymmv, friend got one for $310 2 days ago)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ayman86:
i got my sgs2 for 300 on CL this past weekend. mint condition as far as i can tell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
Man you guys are crazy, I work for Costco. I sell it for $179 + tax. No MIR, nothin. You also get a free accessory bundle which includes an extra car/wall charger, leather pouch, screen protectors and data cable. Not to mention a 90 day exchange period with NO restocking fee. If something better drops 2 months from now, you just bring it back and pay the difference. Buying a phone anywhere else is just nuts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nicoaardappel:
I didnt pay any extra fees she said that she could match the price from best buy mobile. I on a family plan but im not sure which one. Are you sure your up for an upgrade that might me why the price is higher. And i did get the phone from tmobile they are shipping it this saturday. I dont know why they would say 279 unless your 2 years isnt up yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Please explain how people said to go to Walmart and Costco to get the phone are crazy when you said to go to Costco lol -_-.

In my opinion, it is crazy to spend $200 on a phone with an upgrade that is 7 months old. The price has been free-100 the past couple months with upgrade.

Instead of using your upgrade i would just pay $100 more to have it off contract.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
I obviously wasn't talking to the ones who suggested Costco or Walmart.... I'm taking about the ones who go through tmo direct. Even at $199, that costs more, you have no free accessories and only a 14 day exchange period (which also requires that you ship it back to them if you got it from the loyalty dept at that price, plus a restocking fee). I agree with you on the off contract price though. If you get lucky you can get one on CL in the $300-$350 range. If you can swing that, I'd go that route and save your upgrade for a newer phone. We do have the One S at Costco for $189. But I presume a lot of folks would rather wait to see if the SIII makes an appearance on tmo anytime soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
I got mine for $137 with upgrade through the retention department and they gave me a buy one get one free deal, so the wife is rocking a GS2 as well. No MIR required.

Had a problem with them sending out the wrong color phone so I had to do a mail in return. But, in the process of talking with them and crediting my account for the wrong phone, they accidentally changed my upgrade status and 4 months later I am still showing eligible for a full upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -deuces-:
wow....this is crazy, defiantly checking out Costco....or hassling them on the phone till i get a good price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
Costco won't haggle on pricing at all but they are usually the cheapest anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
yeah i would get the one s with the upgrade through costco, and if you don't enjoy it... sell it for more and buy a S2 and have some $ left over.

but yeah, call the retention/loyalty department and see what you can get it probably will be free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dabza:

Target i did mine one for 99 bucks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
That's what I was just going to say. Target beats everyone else, and if the price drops within 30 days, you can go back and get refunded the difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
In store? Online says $189.99
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Yeah, online is ran by a different company.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CincoDeDrinko:
I got mine at Target for $99 too.... thing is that I found out after the fact that the Mobile Phone section inside the Targets are actually run by Radio Shack. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but at least I know the Targets all around my house in Southern California were wearing Target T-Shirts, but employed by/ run by Radio Shack.... so look at them too, they would be offering the same $99 deal. I see the $99 deal about once a month and it lasts like Tues. to Sunday. Hope that helps you find that deal. Hundred bucks for this phone is pretty satisfying, now that I have it- I would have dropped $200 and still been stoked!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
You're correct about them being employed by RadioShack, but they aren't wearing Target shirts. They wear black dress shirts and khakis.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NEE-DRGR:
Hey guys, bare with me here, I've searched all over the forums and have been chasing a golden goose on Google for the passed 10 hours (not including the handful of research over the passed week). I have a 2 year agreement with Verizon Wireless when I got my Galaxy Nexus. 1 month later I tried using it as a GPS on my motorcycle, and the mount I got for it didn't work.... thus it flew off as soon as I got onto the highway and was destroyed. Didn't have insurance, I have no idea why I didn't opt for that. Needless to say there's no way in hell I'm going to pay $650 for another. So I ended up getting a used 4G LTE Galaxy Tab I was hoping to replace my Netbook (for remoting into my home PC) as well as the Nexus. I know Google Voice allows you to make calls, but you have to adopt their number. Or, if you want to use your own number, it has to *call* your number first to which you need to answer from your own cell phone every time you make an outbound call. Receiving calls, however, would be as simple as forwarding all my calls to the Google Voice number :) I've been researching sipdroid but either I'm just going numb from all the reading I've been doing recently or it doesn't clearly explain if it can use your existing mobile cell number. I tried configuring it in what was probably a pretty rough fashion, created a sip account, etc... but where I input my mobile number isn't clear. Sipdroid probably isn't even what I'm looking for. Anyway, I have a 10 year old Verizon flip phone that I'm stuck carrying around every time I have to make calls and text with, along with my 4G Tab. If you folks could help me figure out how to get this put on the tab, is would be greatly appreciated. :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
First, this is a forum for Galaxy Tab 7" original.

Second, don't post a "Q" in general section.

Thirdly, SIP account credential does not need to correspond to a phone number. At the provider end it does but your "registration" or auth id does not usually match the DID number.

(sorry I don't know about Google Voice, but I use SIPDroid to connect to my SIP provider)
[Android Apps and Games] ReDDs3D:
Perferbally 2D since my phone is not the moat powerful, but 3d is fine too. Also classic games (gba, SMEs, etc) are welcome too. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] okmijnlp:
There are games like Destinia, Zenonia and such, not ideal but hey..
[Android Apps and Games] ReDDs3D:
Hey thanks for the quick reply, but yeah I've tried zenonia2, put a good dozen or so hours into that before I realized that it was a bit too repeitive for me haha. I guess i'll try the newer zenonia 4 but with the pay2win model gamevil put into that I'm not even Sure if I will enjoy it hahaha
[Android Apps and Games] joefarar:
If you have a tegra 2/3 device try soulcraft thd (might work on non tegra devices now though. Great graphics, still in beta I think).
[Android Apps and Games] californicated:
Zenonia 3 was fun even without paying anything :)
[Android Apps and Games] ArmedandDangerous:
Soulcraft is not optimized for anything really.. On my One X and it lags constantly. You play for 30 seconds, and you're done with a map, and then there's the loading screen. Honestly, you look at the loading screen way more often than actually playing the game.
[Android Apps and Games] fosselman:
Avadon: The Black Fortress was released as part of the Humble Bundle, just requires a 1280x800 or higher resolution screen.
[Android Apps and Games] DIMENSIONAL:
Not sure if it would be too resource intensive, but I'd recommend Dungeon Hunter. Playing the first few quests really resparked some Diablo nostalgia.
[Android Apps and Games] ReDDs3D:
Haha I had the lite version on my iPod touch a while back, damn that was fun :P. I did not know that it was on Android!
[Android Apps and Games] kil43:
If you are after classic games then download the emulators for the play store;

'Gameboy Colour A.D.' = Gameboy/Gameboy Colour emulator and is (free)

'GenPlusDroid' = Genesis/Mega Drive, Game Gear and Master System emulator (free and paid versions)

'SuperGNES' = Snes emulator (free and paid versions)

'Mojo NES' = Nes emulator (free and paid versions)

'N64 Emulator' = As title (free)

'PSX Emulator' = Playstation One emulator (free and paid versions / 'FPse for android' is better but only paid)

'Marvin - ZX Spectrum Emulator' = As description (free)

'CPS2HD Emulator' = Capcom emulator (paid only)

There are of course many others and alternatives to the ones mentioned above but thought these were worth mentioning as many have free versions to play with.
[Android Apps and Games] Quistnix:
I haven't had the time to test it toroughly, but you might want to look into Delver: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5pbnRlcnJ1cHQuZHVuZ2VvbmVlciJd
[Android Apps and Games] ReDDs3D:
I've really wanted to play gba and Snes games so I downloaded gameboid and Snes9x and Snes9x works perfectly without a hitch but on gameboid I get some bad sound glitchyness which annoys the hell outta me, which makes no sense as snes is a harder console to emulate than gba
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
Yeah, SuperGNES, AFAIK, is only free if you don't want/need to save. If you want to save you have to pay. Snes9x EX is free and based on the free, open source Snes9x (SuperGNES is optimized for Android, so it may be faster on some devices).

SNES harder to emulate than GBA? It's a decade older, more or less. You may be right, but it's not logical.

GameBoid runs fine on my phone, but I have a pretty solid device. I wouldn't play anything requiring quick fingers, though. Not with touch screen controls. What you want to do about that is, get a PS3 controller (about $30-$40 shipped on Newegg) and Bluetooth pair it to your phone. There's an app (Sixaxis) for getting it to work with games.

I wouldn't expect anything like Oblivion to come out for Android, but I'd love to see something like Torchlight. (To hell with Activision and Diablo.)

Oh, there are a few Nethack clones on Android, but I'm sure you don't want that pain. Nethack is the ASCII-graphics game the original Diablo is more or less based on (random dungeons, dungeons with random monsters and loot) but it is notoriously hard.

But , for anybody that has used the latest update of the new CM9 Rom , when they say the camera is fixed Im wondering if that includes the front facing camera as well ?

If anybody could help me out , i would really appreciate it .

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tutchthesky7:
So after painstakingly searching around for an answer on how to get OTG working on the galaxy s2 running a custom ROM and Kernal with little to no help i finally figured it out:

You will need:

OTG Cable ( Micro USB Host cable) (store bough or home made work, i followed this link: http://highonandroid.com/android-howtos/how-to-make-otg-usb-host-cable-for-galaxy-s2-or-xoom/ )

A Kernel that supports OTG ( I'm using { and could only find } http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/05/06/siyahkernel-v3-2rc1/ , there is an update to this kernal , but i have not tested the OTG support yet (May/7)

And last but not least, USB Host Controller APP : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.sztupy.android.usbhostcontroller&hl=en

Procedures :

1. Install the kernel by flashing it through CWM

2.Install USB Host Controller App

3. Restart phone

4. plug in usb device into OTG cable

5. Plug in OTG Cable to phone

6. TADAA

if you have any questions feel free to PM me or post a reply...

i had to change the steps from the link to make the OTG cable to make it work!!!

Homemade Cable Troubleshoot:

my cable was a samsung USB U2 cable, i dont know if this makes the biggest difference. but you want to short ( connect) pins 4 and 5.. one of the 2 solder points is the black wire from the usb cable ( ground) and if yours doesnt work with the pin he says to use, you can try plugging in a usb device into the cable and have the wire connected to the ground and simply probe the other pins until you find the pin that works! ( DO NOT CONNECT BLACK AND RED I REPEAT DO NOT SHORT BLACK AND RED, YOU WILL FRY YOU PHONE AND I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS, THIS IS YOUR WARNING!!!)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] linuxfree1:
This kernel can work with Galaxy s2 duos tv gt-s7273T ?

I,m trying enable the OTG to my s2 gt-s7273T

This is possible? Using Jelly Bean 4.2.2 stock rooted

With busybox installed .

Please if possible help me
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] asia559571:
WOW! I have a faulty micro sd card so I could only backup to internal storage. Saw your post which reminded me I have an OTG cable that I use for my Note 4, I'm using CM11 and "hey presto!" CM11 recognizes external USB, no apps needed, I could/can make backups, Love my CM11 :)

Glad I saw your post, Many Thanks, and Kind Regards!!
[HTC Sensation] Hamoonfarsa:
Hi. i have a sensation Xe. I installed ARHD ROM a month ago and it was my first ics ROM. after flashing i had the WiFi issue. it wouldn't connect when i wasn't in airplane mode. but i used wifix and both WiFi and data signal was good. but it bothered me and i thought it might be a radio issue, so i tried flashing a new radio/ril. i tried different radios and they didn't fix the WiFi issue and also made my data signal so weak. i restored my original radio/ril but i still get weak signal. it always have 3 lines out of 5 and sometimes it dissapears completely with a cross icon on top of it even when i don't cover it's back with my hand. i tried to raise the 2 metal parts below the battery to make better contact with cover but still no luck :(. Any suggestions?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Super-Android:
I wonder why are you facing such a problem. Well you can try this app known as Network Speed HERE .

It helped me boosting my signal too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
Is this right? Because i payed the deposit and everything on the day i activated my phone. i knew the first bill would be more then the rest, but this much? i put 577 on my account so i wouldnt have to worry about the bill for a while, and it going from that to 343 seems a bit much
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
Sprint pre-bills contract users. The prorated charges are for the month you just used, the next month is for the upcoming month. It looks like there was a remaining balance of $10 when that bill was printed.

Expect the following:

$69.99 plan charge

$10 premium data fee

$8 for TEP

$4.99 for having a spending limit

$12 for taxes and fees (estimate)

That comes to about $105 per month.

I would suggest getting a plan discount ASAP. If your employer or school doesn't have a discount set up, the credit union discount is a common one http://www.lovemycreditunion.org/Sprint-169.html

After 12-24 months of paying your bill on time, you can ask to speak to the finance department about removing the spending limit, and thus the fee.

If you could do it over, I would suggest getting an Everything Plus Referral Program plan, which is $59.99 and generally wouldn't have a spending limit. Also, if you paid full price for your phone, I am really shocked. Amazon offers it for 1 cent with a new contract, and Wirefly for $50.00.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
i went to amazon when they were a penny and it said amazon doesnt process the deposit, so i had to go to a sprint store -.-, n i just signed up, im with the buffalo service credit union, now what?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
Call up Sprint (*2), navigate to Billing, tell them you are a credit union member, and ask for the discount. Should be pretty painless and will appear on your bill in 1-2 cycles.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Lol looks normal for first bill.. pro ration and month in advance.. activation fees also there.. agree on the discount part :-) but whats that about the spending limit? I just got my deposit back for bein there over a year :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
Sprint reserves the option to charge any account with a spending limit a fee. Accounts opened before that change tend to not have the fee.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
That seems a bit too much being that you did a payment for 577. I just brought a friend over to sprint a few months back and her 1st bill with the prorated fees was like $150 and then about 90 bucks a month after that.. With the payment you did and this new charge ur up to like 900. That's like 3-4 times my bill and i have 4 lines :eek:

Edit: idk i would call sprint just to make sure if that was my bill lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Lol ok that makes sense.. My bad i didn't realize sprint puts their negative sign so far out from the amount. I thought the lil dash was separating the total due writing from the amount smh... :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
Thank you so freaking much! i just got my confirmation email about my discount status and its all said n done. the thanks button cannot thank you enough lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
Glad I could help. The discount will only apply to the plan, not everything like it used to.

At one point, I had the $30 SERO plan with a 30% discount. I was so sad when that disappeared.

You need to flash stock recovery first and relock bootloader. Than try to run RUU.

before you can run the RUU you need to:

1) flash the stock recovery.img

2) flash the stock boot.img (maybe no need)

3) relock the bootloader - fastboot oem lock

4) run RUU
