I know what is the diference between Kies upgrade and CMW flash, i dont know if there will be a diference in between the 2 ROMs as a final result... i want to use stock ROM with the stock kernels and radios, that is what i am wondering, i am sorry if i asked incorrectly...

Thanks for he info, just want to get prepared when the update is ready.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
They would both be the exact same Rom. With CWM you would need to flash the radio separately, and with Kies it flashes the radio for you. But, you need to be unrooted to use Kies.

Listen to my line of logic for a second, even if the SGH-t989 doesn't get Jelly Bean, the SkyRocket will at which point a complete, stable version of Jelly Bean can be ported. Know that we know it's incoming, we just need to play a waiting game..

Our device will get he jb update because we just got done with it. Everything is working fine.

Only s2 variants that won't get the update is: sprint epic touch.

The official release won't be anything like CM10. It will be TW. But, it will allow for stable JB roms to be built.

This is probably the dumbest question ever, but I can't seem to get the screenshot to work

vol down + power does nothing

anybody have any suggestions?

EDIT: I just realized that this is the JB discussion and not a T989 discussion thread. Is there a "small questions" thread anywhere?

finally samsung stepped up and said their releasing jelly bean for the t989. :D but with t-mobile behind it, it will take forever im guessing! anyone else excited to see jelly bean for our devices!?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitaL BlisS:
Very! Looks like the end to that dreaded SOD/RR problem is near!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I am with Telus and I may not know all about the topic but people give t- Mobile a lot of flak about their updates. But t- Mobile was one of the first to release ics for the galaxy S2 variants.. So moral of the story is be positive! We may get JB sooner than you think!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sdavidson0316:
I have pretty much given up on all of the provider releases. They all suck battery and performance right out of a perfectly good device.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
Don't believe the hype.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
I wish they (Google) would just spend more time releasing a nice stable build once a year. That would allow for people to at least enjoy their $600 investment for a while, Instead of it being outdated a week later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
That's why they are trying to push out more nexus devices by different companies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I agree.. These companies make so much off of us. Hey could easily do the good gesture of giving us updates for a longer period of time..

We are gonna get JB and that's it! It's over as far as updates.. There might be the occasional maintenance or security patch but as far as another software update that will be it... Even though I'm sure this phone can handle it

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

I saw on flipboard that LG will be releasing a nexus device at the end of the month.. It will have a quad core S4 snapdragon processor and 2 gigs of ram with an 8 mp camera. Unfortunately no removable storage and it seems like he battery will be non removable as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
Are you saying don't expect Tmo to release JB for T989?

Weren't you the one who said you were almost done with it, that you guys were pushing out the T999 update first, back in September?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
T989 will be getting the jb update. We weren't pushing anything out. Its works for us on our test s2 and its been approved by T-Mobile "higher ups". Just waiting for them to finish adding the additional bloat to send it back to Samsung, so they can add it on kies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
Oh OK I must have misunderstood you.

Generally "don't believe the hype" means "don't get your hopes up" lol

Great! I've been wanting to use JB but I need the wifi calling feature, as I get no signal inside my house :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] exautt:
sadly here too. its interesting how walls can block cell coverage so easily.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chrono86:
Yeah. All I have to do is walk outside and I get service. It's really irritating.

I tried groove ip but neither I or the person on the other end could hear each other. Plus, I'd rather not have to give out a new number (the google voice one in this case), I'd rather use Tmobile's awesome wifi feature which uses your phone number with them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
It'll have the WiFi calling feature added once they finish adding in the bloat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zpierreski:
How do I report a SOD or RR?

I'm loving the official CM10 nightlies so far, but I have ran into a couple of SODs. Once I do a battery pull and reboot on my phone, how should I send a crash log to team chopsticks? What program do I use to get it, and where do I upload it to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
You may receive a better response to this question in the actual CM10 thread, as this is a more generic thread regarding the "official" JB release. I think the OP in the CM10 thread provides instructions on where to send bug reports. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zpierreski:
Whoops!

Sorry, posted this in the wrong thread!

So... I am completely new and a noob haha but.... I was wondering if I could get some help because I'm stuck but it won't let me post in the development forums since I'm new. But I've tried like so many roms from Slim, Paranoid, CM10 but.. none of them work. I get stuck on the boot up screen for 20 minutes or more. I'm really pissed right now that I can't do it right. I'm following all the directions but it won't boot up. I know you guys say be patient but I've waiting 30 mins or more for each boot up and it's still failing. Only AOKP nightly is working for me. Please any tips or some direction would be helpful! Thanks and I really hope this is the right thread?

Try putting latest TWRP 2.3, and wipe everything 3x (every option in wipe menu). Then mount USB, xfer ROM and flash it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I really can't wait for jelly bean. I hope we get it by the end of the year but I'm sure it will be more like the end of next year. I hope they start taking updates seriously and stop all this bs. I mean really, it shouldn't take more then a month or two for these big company's to push out a update. It's truly sad how long it takes in the US. How long could it take to add bloatware. I know it isn't going to take more then a few weeks. So what makes this process take so long?

Anyway that was my mini rant. I'm happy us loyal s2 users are getting the update but I'm getting so frustrated waiting and then waiting some more.

I think an official JB update will probably come out next year sometime after the launch of the GS4. Samsung doesn't want to cannibalize their current phone sales.

I'm hoping for a truly great Google Nexus phone to come out for TMo for my next. The LG Nexus doesn't do it for me. The specs look good, but non-removable battery and no SD card don't look good.

That's great news.. At least we have some sort of idea when it will be released.. That's assuming they stick to that schedule.. Soon we will also be seeing leaks from the skyrocket build too! I'm curious to see what if any improvements have been made to the touchwiz launcher for 4.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I'm very interested in touchwiz 4.1 myself. I hope they did the same thing to the s2 version as they did with the s3 jelly bean version.

I just hope t mobile USA gets there act together and does a quick release. I mean just like one of the insiders on this thread has said jelly bean is ready to go but t mobile needs to send it back to Samsung so they can release it. Just the fact that it's already finished for our model phone and they are taking there sweet time with it really sucks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I agree, they do seem to take a lot longer than necessary to release updates. As for TW I have a feeling that they most likely left it alone and didn't do too much with it for 4.1 but it would be sweet to have some of the functionality from the S3 brought over.. I have been using JMTX lately and it's the first time I haven't had a strong desire to replace the TW launcher with something else.. The TW UX from the S3 is definitely superior to what comes stock on our phone out of the box
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chrono86:
It's a total deal breaker for us who get no service inside our homes :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
This is why I'm going to the s3. I mean they get updates faster. It's a better phone. May put a small dent in my wallet for wanting the 32g but might as well go all out lol

I'm just going to wait for the s4. The s3 really isn't all that better then the T989. If the s2 wasn't getting jelly bean then I would go for the s3 but the s2 is getting it. We may have to wait longer but that's not a issue for me.

MMS portait picture rotation issue

Is anyone else noticing that the stock MMS app doesn't handle pcitures taken in portrait mode properly? All of my images shot in portrait mode are rotated sideways when selected in the app. If I use Handcent, I don't experience the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
Yep, same thing happens to me. Really bugs me and nothing I do corrects it. I might start using a 3rd party app until in gets fixed; if it gets fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
The s3 has 2gb so maybe if you run a bunch of stuff in the background you will notice a difference but you are not going to notice a real big speed difference. At least with today's apps. Benchmarks are one thing but real world use the s2 runs just as fast as the s3. That's why so many s2 users didn't upgrade to the s3. If i were going to get a new phone it would be the note 2.

Anyway back on topic.

MMS Portrait Rotation Issue

The other item I notice is that if I create a screen shot and try to send it via stock MMS app, it maintains the correct orientation. Not sure what the difference is between a picture and a screen shot. Is there something in the metadata that the stock app isn't looking for that Handcent is?

Is ICS really that much lighter than JB?

Hey guys. New to the forum so hope you will bear with me. If I may contribute, I'm having great success with ICS with many of the JB features added,namely right now JediMindTrick X. I don't think there is a big jump in the demand on resources from ICS to JB AFAIK. I can't say for certain as I have yet to flash a true JB ROM. I have noticed a big battery drain when flashing Google Now, but I think that more has to do with some very beta nature of the project.

Glitchy animation / No music

I've been getting some glitches where the screen totally freaks out and shows a bunch of lines and colors.

This happens on most apps where there's a ton of animation, and you press either of the volume keys, that's when it'll happen.

Anyone know a trick in the settings or an app/mod/add-on that will fix this? Thanks.

Also, is anyone experiencing no music found on music players? I can see the music in my folder called "Music" with a file explorer but not in a music player. With an ICS rom it's fine, but on all the JB roms I never see the music.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alawishis:
I've seen the music player behaviour. To me it looks like some music files of are ignored by the player, almost like they are an unsupported extension/format. When you launch the file directly it plays fine in the same player but when you search from the player you can't find it. I'm using the Walkman player in JMT XI ROM which is otherwise great. I haven't found a solution. I suspect that the player is looking in specific folders and not the one I think it should be looking in, and that could be the issue. I'm going to have to poke around more and see if I can find the issue.

I just got the S2 (tired of sloooooow Sprint speeds) after having the OG Evo and I have to admit that I was really surprised that this phone is getting JB. The Evo got just the one upgrade from Froyo to GB then all support stopped so I'm (so far) quite happy with Samsung and their development.

Hell, it's nice to have a phone that runs ICS with everything working.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
There has to be at least one insider that knows the November release for jelly bean is for none US carriers or if they have actually been working together here and it will be a full release.

I'm just going on how it's been done before. The international s2 gets the update and the US carriers start working on there version and its released a few months later. I really wish we have had some kind of answer.

I mean it's been taking so long to release a update much smaller then ics. So have us carriers been working on it this whole time or is it just international release?

I wish we had at least one insider that could answer this. There have been hints thrown around but no answer. Anyway I'm not even sure why I'm asking I guess all I have to do is look at how it's been done before. You would think they would change there bs ways of releasing updates and allow US carriers to roll out at the same time.

Sorry just had a bad day and I'm sick of the corporations treating us like 5 year old's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoobyracing03:
Well if you go based on past updates for every other phone the SII is over it's update limit. I am not holding my breath for an official update. Not long ago when T-Mobile released a list of phones to get Jelly Bean the SII was not on that list the SIII and The Note were on it though. In my experience you get 1 major update in a phones life and that's it. The SII already got that.

18 months is the upgrade period and the t-mobile S2 is only a 13 months old. Mrknitty said we are getting it as well why would he lie about something like that? Maybe he's not the real deal? I'm not sure what to believe at this point. I'm going to take his word for it though, at least until he is proven wrong.

Anyway, hope to hear some good news soon. It would be nice for a change.
