Follow from the XDA thread to their official page and then to the download section, where you have to look for "Hacked AOSP Email (4.0.4)".

I'm using it even though if i'm not on WanamLite :)

Switched off phone last night, fully charged from being connected to the PC. Tried to switch it on this morning and nothing happened, no lights nothing.

Tried four times before I connected it to a mains charger and left it a few minutes and it switched on as normal.

Any thoughts, should I be worried or is it a one off.... ???

I've read about issues with the One XE (?) but they can take the battery out - USA maybe?

Applied TMO UVLE OTA update on stock 2.3.6 ROM a couple days ago then applied tonights ICS update via Kies no problems.

Rooted (and verified via superuser/ROM Manager) but not getting any Hotspot love. Wireless hotpost goes active then get the 'no data' nag and anything that connects to the hotspot goes straight to TMO website.

Suxors!

Any tips on a work-around?

Updated to ICS 4.0.3 and no Wifi Tether Apps working

I am having the same issue, I have verified SuperUser and updated SU binary but Barnacle and Wifi Tether both do not work for some reason.

I am sure it is rooted (or at least it appears to be). I used the method used previously at GalaxyS2root.com and they state is still is working. I even downloaded the zip file again, just in case any of the files changed (it does not appear to have changed any files)

Any suggestions on how to get these working? Wifi tethering is important to me and I would rather go back to previous version of Android rather than lose wifi tethering ability.

Oh yeah, I also did not UNROOT the phone when I applied the update, could that have been an issue?

thanks for any help you can offer!

i got tethering to working by deleting "tethering provision" in titanium backup after i rooted my phone. tested and working on my galaxy tab 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jfarhat:
How did you do that?

I have tried to remove with Titanium backup but it will not remove the app. How did you accomplish is with Titanium backup.

This is what I tried:

1) Pressed Backup/Restore

2) scrolled down to "TetheringProvision 1.04.02.TM

3) long press on that item until special features screen appears

4) selected "Force remove app (by recovery exploit)

5) it then asks me to select yes to uninstalled and states the phone will reboot twice

6) then it reboots the first time and then it freezes at the triangle with and ! in the center

Am I doing it wrong?? Do I have to have the pro version of the app??

Could anyone provide more info about it? I lost it after I upgraded to ICS. I do not have hotspot plan but I was able to tether it. Please help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jfarhat:
I'm not sure what you are asking for, but I believe you want to know what the issue is with wifi tethering not functioning after you upgrade to ICS for T-mobile USA?

If so, it appears that T-Mobile has made some changes to the ROM that prevent you from using any wifi tethering program (as far as we can tell so far), even when the phone is rooted...without paying for it through their service.

Now, someone states that they are able to get it (wifi tether, Barnacle, etc...) after deleting a file installed by T-mobile (Tethering Provision - see above comments). I was unable to uninstall so could not get it working as someone else stated they did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rvdangel630:
i backed up and uninstalled and tethering started to work for me. i used the free version of titatnium.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jfarhat:
I'm not sure why, I am using the free version of TB also, but my tethering Pervision was in red color text and stated that it had not been backed up. There were several apps (I believe all the T-mobile crapware) was in read.

Do you know what that means?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rvdangel630:
Just back it up and uninstall that's what I did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] asting:
Yes, you're doing it wrong. Just click the app and select uninstall (back it up if you want i guess).

Different Wifi Issues with ICS

Hi All,

I am having a slightly different issue. I'm rooted and have frozen the 'TetheringProvision 1.04.02.TM'.

When I was broadcasting, my computer wouldn't connect to the network. My workaround was to delete the connection in Windows Network Manager and reconnect.

My tethering icon is different than the above screenshots, I have a T-Mobile branded icon.

Now that I'm able to connect, I'm getting a message in my webbrowser to sign up for a tethering plan. I've tried a User-Agent switcher, but that didn't work... anyone have any suggestions?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltmine:
Hello,

Currently, I have two GS2 (i9100 and T989) and a GS3. The problem is that only the T989 works on my data plan (T-Mobile USA 1700/2100MHz HSPA+)

So, now, I'm looking for a phone that combines the speed of the i9100 and GS3 with the AWS frequency support of the T989. The T-Mobile branded GS2 is rather laggy during important tasks (mainly SMS). If I want to send a text in a thread with a long history, the phone lags very badly. Even opening up the SMS app lags that phone. I don't have these problems with the two Exynos based phones. Archiving SMS messages is very important to me, so I can't delete them and need a phone that can handle long threads without massive lag.

How is the Galaxy Nexus at handling lag? I don't really play any intense games (and I'd have the GS3 for that if needed) so really I'm mainly looking to avoid SMS/browser/Gmail/UI lagging.

Additionally, I take pictures a lot. I know the camera on the Nexus is lower, but I've heard that it's about the same quality as the GS2. If that's true, I would be fine with 5MP.

Also, I see a lot of people complaining about factory defects in their phones in this forum.. How bad is the screen burn in issue?

If anyone has used a T989 in the past, how does the GNexus battery life compare?

tl;dr version:

* I need a phone that doesn't lag

* I have really, really long SMS threads

* I like taking pictures. Will I be okay with the Nexus camera? (coming from GS2)

* Should I get the Galaxy Nexus?

Thanks to anyone who can help! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Well, if the GS 2 is laggy (Which it really is, I had it myself), then flash SensatioNROM, that's the best ROM you'll find for the GS 2 and install Siyah, or Darknight kernel...

So much for the GS 2, to the Nexus, only buy this, if you don't mind having no buttons (I'm regretting it) and buy it, if you want to be the first of your friends, to have Android "Jelly Bean", which will be Android 4.1, coming out in the autumn months (For americans, the "fall"), and generally, only get the GNex, if you want PURE Googleness, which I'm also starting to regret, that's why I'm porting TWiz 5.0 to the GNex... But anyways... I'll give you a quote, from a film, 80% (at least) of this forum know:

This is a quote, that I have been using for quite some time, now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltmine:
Well, I can only use a phone with AWS (1700MHz) as my main phone. The i9100 doesn't lag for me.. but the T989 does.

And I'm fine with software buttons. In fact, I think it's better..

Mainly, I'd like to know how the Nexus performs in terms of lagginess compared to i9100 and T989.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
I really can't comment compared to the other phones, but the Nexus is perfect for tasks like what you mentioned, I prefer to use ChompSMS for all my texting needs, but I did use the stock Messages app and it handles just fine (even with 400 texts per convo), Gmail runs fine, and is really smooth, browsing is probably the best you can get at the moment (Try Chrome), and overall the UI doesn't lag at all for me. Even when it's 100% stock, it is still really smooth.

I highly recommend this phone, and I think you will be very happy with it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] starnostar:
Any phone will get laggy with long sms threads. it uses a database, which get exponentially more taxing to open /w more data.

get sms backup (wise shark software), set it to sd-card only (gmail feature is kinda unreliable) ...it automatically adds sms messages to text files on your sd card, each phone number has its own text file and messages get added to the end of a file with a timestamp and arrow indicating whether they were incoming or outgoing. It should be noted that restoring /w this is worthless too, the restore feature does not work like you would expect and there is no real reason to restore anyway as you allready have all of them searchable and archived. make sure you check "auto-backup", it has allways worked perfectly for me. Also, dont delete the database (.db) file in the smsbackup folder, this is how the app keeps track of what sms have been backed up and which havent.

Next get agrep from the play store and pick the smsBackup directory as a search directory.

to view the text files (as they can get quite large), get jota which can open very very large text files.

Finally, i personally move all the text files out into a different directory on the first of every year into another directory called SmsArchive /w the folder structure (add this folder to agrep's search folders)

SmsArchive>Year>text files

Now you can backup every single sms you ever get while being able to search through them without bogging down the internal sms database.

again, the SMS backup app is kinda weird but I have searched to the ends of the earth, and as far as I know this is the only app for any platform that does this, let alone does this reliably.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrostyF7:
Well the only laggy thing I have seen is the lwp. Most lag really bad.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] absoluteparanoia:
For taking quick pictures I love the instant responsiveness of the Nexus out of the box.

Its so fast I often take dozens of photos and just delete the ones that aren't 'perfect' (like any photographer does).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltmine:
I'm glad to hear that! However.. I'm looking at more like ~3000 messages per thread than 400. Hopefully it will be okay.

Hmm.. I've used two SMS backup apps in the past: SMSBackup+(Jan Berkel) and SMSBackup/Restore(Ritesh Sahu). Have you tried these two apps? If so, why did you like Wise Shark's app more? I'd like to know a little more about it if you have time, cause it is $5. Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] starnostar:
I like it more because it automatically pushes any new sms messages to the end of an existing text file on the internal storage, /w a text file for each number.

It seems to be the only good solution for a "long-term archive" of text messages, I don't like it when the backup apps tie a name to the number, numbers are static and never change but what if you misspelled a persons name and correct it?...after years of that kind of stuff it turns into a disaster.

I also chose it because I'm a linux nut...text files are the most simplistic type of file this can be put into (next to csv, but csv loses "human readability" in exchange for limited import/export ability), you DON'T want a database for years of sms messages, a database like that will give your computer a run for its money depending on the database structure. Take the simplicity of a text file and add it to the enormous power of grep (and if you wanna get really nerdy, regex) and you can search literally decades of sms messages with very little cpu power/memory in seconds.

It should be dualy noted that I also use rsync to sync my sms-archive (via mobile network) every day to my home-server, at which point a cron-job encrypts it, renames it to the current date/time-stamp and sends this file to dropbox. I backup many other files on my phone and other computers with this method too.....go ahead and make fun if you like :)

I also try to keep my own data...if you trust gmail for your sms backup, what would you do if something happened to gmail? I like to have my data in a tangible form that I can backup/edit/use without crossing my fingers and relying on the competence of another party.

tl;dr version - simple and portable files that can be read on anything and searched with open source tools, no messy database, its the most simple type of file data like this can be stored in. its also the only app for any phone/platform that I have ever found capable of this, at least without saying "F*^$ it" and making my own app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltmine:
So, I decided to buy it!

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions :)

Some first impressions:

* amazing feeling in hand.. this phone feels great to hold without a case

* updated itself to 4.0.4 automatically..? Saved time; but a warning would have been nice before using up like 60MB data.

* that really nice button glow effect disappeared after 4.0.4 update

* so far, browser performance is amazing, definitely better than the T989

* the LED hardware acts a little weird.. only activates sometimes

* black blobs under the screen.. but I hear that 90% of these phones have this issue

* keeps switching between "3G" and "H." These are the same thing, no?

I'm getting worried hearing about so many people having problems with their phones in this forum...

But so far, asides from some minor problems, the Galaxy Nexus seems like the right choice for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
3g and h (hspa) are indeed the same thing, can't say why they switch randomly though.

As far as all the people with problems with their phones it may be worthwhile to bear in mind that people are much more likely to post if they have problems than if they have none. I personally have no complaints about the phone, in fact I love it, and won't be starting a thread called "omg I love my gnex, it's perfect"

It's good to know many people have no issues! I hope I won't have any major problems.. :x

Anyone know what's going on with the notification LED though? Is it normal for it to only activate like 50% of the time?

And is it worth asking for a replacement if you have the black blobs under the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spiritcrusher33:
3g and h (hspa) are indeed the same thing, can't say why they switch randomly though.

I believe that h shows with an active data connection. When it shows 3g, should be an idle connection.. Dont quote me on that lol but remember reading something bout it..

Hey guys, posted a thread the other day. But didn't get much of an answer. But now am back with a different question. Anyway, long story short. My girlfriend is a goose and swapped a perfectly good iPhone (wait what, how can an iphone be good - i know, i know) for a samsung galaxy s2. It kept turning off and wifi doesnt work.

I done an update to 4.0.3 using odin and that stopped the constant turning off, but wifi is still not working.

Now what I would like to know it, if i change the modem firmware in it, will it fix it ? Could I just try different firmwares until I works ? Would downgrading to say 2.2 possibly fix the issue ? (It was originally 2.3.5)

Please help, if you need information, just post and ill reply :))

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8ednz:
Im assuming you've tested the router with other devices to eliminate that? It sounds as though the warranty is already void so it could be a good excuse to root & install cwm5 if you haven't already. Like was already mentioned wifi is kernel related so i would recommend installing a recently released aokp (preferred) based rom with whatever kernel is provided. If you're still having the problem try installing different kernels from there on in. Remember to flash a kernel cleaning script before flashing the new kernel. If the problem persists it could be hardware related. Good luck bud !
