fyi, when you're throttled, you keep normal icons/connections but are throttled to 100kbps. NOT 2g, not 3g but max of 100 kbps regardless your connection type (can still say 4g, it's just throttled).

Sent from my phone. Prepare for atrocious Swype typos.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ajr12388:
They throttle you down to about 2g. I upgraded to 5gb before heading out on my honeymoon. Took about 300 pics on my phone and synced them to drop box, g+ Made it home with data to spare
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anubus45:
This is the case. I'm still on HSPA+, but I hit my limit yesterday, and now I'm getting about 60kb/s down on speedtest. Unfortunately, that I've been able to find, most methods of bypassing the throttle limit no longer work, which is rather annoying, as I still have a week and a half before my billing cycle resets and 60k is too slow to stream music comfortably.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TMOfo:
From someone who works for them..in communications they tell us it's a 2.5G speed that it is being slowed down to. Though these speeds are not always real life, based on where you live, how many many people are near and using the same tower etc etc. No one's experience will always be the same. Edge can sometimes be okay to use or it can be a pain.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Optimizer:
T Mobile reception sucks here in Kansas City, and when you are on the move really. When I got throttled, I was getting 2g speeds, and it was horrible. I couldn't use any app that used data.

T Mobile only has fast 3g in some cases, I would not consider their '4g' 4g because it was not very fast in the first place.

I would not recommend them.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourakind:
Hi,

I have a Nexus S that I don't have a sim card in it but it is connected to WiFi.

When the OTA Jelly Bean updated is pushed to my phone will I be able to get it over WiFi OR do I have to have a sim card in it and connected to a carrier.

It did have a sim card in it connected to AT&T and I have the ICS 4.0.4 update on it now, but I just bought a Nexus Galaxy and have the sim card in that now.

I want to sell the Nexus S but would like to get JB on it first before I sell it.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CooLoserTech:
Of course You can use it without a SIM. Think of it as an Android iPod Touch.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
I believe he was asking if he can receive the update over wifi without a sim. Not can he use the device.

Answer is yes. No sim is needed to receive to get the ota.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
That would be an insult to Android :P. Think of it as an music device that works, can be customized, and is cool.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourakind:
Thanks, yes that's what I meant.

I would like to get JB on it before I sell it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CooLoserTech:
Yes, your good to go. You should be able to receive OTA just fine. Basically as long as you have wifi you can still access the update. Hope this helps.

Hi guys, It seems the X and Y are backwards on my accelerometer. This messes up the screen rotate, and the horizontal calibration confirms the problem. I have tried Creeds ROM (where the problem first started), Hybrid 4.0, and now Evolution X as well. I am going to try to revert back to the stock ROM, but I want a custom ROM. Thanks.:good:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rcHumanz:
Anyone running this combination of a rooted 1.4.3 and the Nook Color App Manager? Are you having any problems?

Prior to 1.4.3, App Manager worked without any problems, allowing me to launch apps from within the stock launcher (either via the daily shelf, the homescreens or App Manager itself).

Since the Nook updated to 1.4.3, and I rooted, AppManager no longer works that way. I can get App Manager to load in GoLauncher, but under the stock launcher, it just takes me to a product sheet for App Manager. The same happens when I try to launch an app that was added to the daily shelf thru AppManager when launched via GoLauncher...

That app doesn't work any longer with the 1.4.3 ROM. B&N changed some of the API's according to the author. He said he would try to find some work arounds and re-post the app if/when he can get it going again.

Hi, the same thing happend with me. Now I can enter in recovery but I cant wipe data.

[Galaxy S II General] dejarque88:
Heeyyy!!!! Bro, i found an alternative for us. It worked for me so with you will work to!!!

Im from argentina and my english is not good. So, sorry for that.

Ok, do this:

1/ Download resurrection remix v2.5.3

2/ Flash siyha v3.3.2

3/ Enter to the recovery

4/ Go to "dual-boot options

5/ Select "install zip to second rom from external sd. Automatically siyah will create a second data partition.

6/ select the rom from the external sd and install it. Then restart and enter in recovery again

7/ go to "dual boot options / wipe second rom dalvik-cache.

8/ go to dual boot options / fix second rom permissions

9/ go to dual boot options / wipe second rom data cache

10/ reboot and you will see during boot the next reading: press home o volume button to enter to second rom.... so, press the home buttom and the phone will revive!!!!!!

I must say that every time the phone starts you have to choose to enter the second rom. This solution sucks, but at least your phone will work.

good luck

[Galaxy S II General] d.fx:
Have you tried flashing a samsung rom? Are you still on LQ5 kernel?

If this still fails after trying to flash a samsung rom using odin, i think you should indeed flash the original PIT, which will make things back the way they were before, even if it didn't work then
[Galaxy S II General] a0007:
when i use Odin to install original rom , it stuck on data.img

and when I use recovery to wipe factory or cache , it stuck on formatting data

(( I used pit stock and i9100_u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4-patched-standard ))
[Galaxy S II General] d.fx:
After flashing just the Pit file, did you try to wipe data or did you try to flash a Samsung ROM with odin directly?
[Galaxy S II General] a0007:
I tried both ways but i did not work
[Galaxy S II General] d.fx:
Were you using the LQ5 kernel when you tried to wipe data after the PIT flash ? I hope you weren't.
[Galaxy S II General] a0007:
yep :crying:
[Galaxy S II General] d.fx:
arf man, you should have stick to the step by steps and just that. There is still little hope though, send a PM to hg42 explaining that you flashed his modified galaxy s2 pit file but that you did the same mistake again (that i did too, but only once) , which was to wipe data using LQ5 kernel. Basically i think you now have two ****ty data partitions, back to square one.

He might be able to build a new Pit specially for you to flash in which yet another data partition will be created, next to the one you just screwed.

I modified my post to make it even clearer that you shouldn't wipe data while using LQ5 kernel.

Good luck man

Since Thursday, when i lost my S2 because of LQ5, i have been trying to find any possible solution through ODIN, but the same result: S2 stacked on logo screen.

Today i decided to send my S2 to Samsung, but the last minute i saw your thread.

I had nothing to loose so i decide to give it another try and I GOT MY PHONE BACK!

After formatting internal card i got back 9,54 Gb. I remember that i had 11Gb free before LQ5 but right now its not major problem.

Once more

Thank you!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] gotetrunks:
But after this procedure, is not possible to flash a stock rom using a standard pit to regain the lost space?

That part of memory will be lost forever?

I would try this method, but if i have to lost part of internal memory, i prefer to try samsung service first and then eventually this method...
[Galaxy S II General] xscreations:
I'm going to try this today. I will post the results.
[Galaxy S II General] hg42:
Let me drop in...

It is lost, the flash memory chip has corrupted internal tables.

Reflashing this chip (kind of jtag, but not the one to flash the phone) is probably possible but no solution yet, may be never.

So using the warranty is better for most people.

I created those pits mainly for people without warranty or who don't care for those 2gb loss (like me).
[Galaxy S II General] hg42:
please change this link, as i said in my thread, it will go away when updating. Link to the first post and tell about 9100*-patched-standard.pit

Thanks bro .. .. I fatigue with my problem

I will try other solutions and Hope hg42 to solve it
[Galaxy S II General] hg42:
first: before using my pits people should read the first post of my pit thread carefully (at least all update sections).

The zip already contains a lot of pit files for the case the internal sd is also bricked. This is the ums-bricked case.

Again: read my thread starter!
[Galaxy S II General] a0007:

I think i should add that you can always flash a standard PIT if you're not happy with the result of the modified PIT. Of course the phone won't boot once again, but you'll be back in the same state you were.

[Galaxy S II General] me_max:
Worked for me. Phone is back up. Pfeew, that was thrilling.

I did a recovery via cwm while LPM (official) was flashed. That broke my data partition. I can live with 2Gb less, however I wonder whether sending in my SGS2 will be treated as a warranty case?

No hard or soft brick after flash?

Hi

I flashed Open Europe 2012 June 4.0.4 I9100XXLQ5

but now i saw this message on samfirware " Warning: If you flash this from custom rom or stock do not wipe/factory reset. But flash a stock Gingerbread Rom trough odin first before you flash this rom. In Gingerbread you can. I9100XXLQ5 I9100OXALQ5"

I flashed the european open version 4.0.4 I9100XXLQ5, my previous version was stock nordic open version 4.0.3. did a factory reset after the flash and everything is working ok. The flash was done before the danger message was put on samfirmware. No hard or softbrick. Will the phone now brick if i flash any other firmware or do a factory reset again?

[Galaxy S II General] d.fx:
GUYS, IF YOU WANT SOME HELP, YOU HAVE TO TELL US EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT WHAT YOU DID AND WHAT YOUR PHONE CAN DO.

There are multiple possible reasons for a soft brick, this is why you need to be as precise as possible.

-Can you access recovery? download mode? bootlogo?

-what rom did you flash?

-what did you do before flashing the rom? wipe everything? nothing?

-what kernel did you use?

-what kernel are you using right now?

-what happened after you tried the modified PIT file ?

-etc...

Hope you all get your phones working again. cheers

> Can you access recovery? download mode? bootlogo?

No recovery, can however get into Download mode and Buttplug/Factory mode

> what rom did you flash?

Was running CM9 nightly (2012-04-14) for ~2 weeks without any problems or doing risky stuff.

One night, the phone spontaneously reboots, hangs at boot screen. Power cycles, can get in to CWM. Powers off. Powers back on, can NOT get into CWM, but into Download. Tries to re-flash same CM9 nightly, fails to write anything. Since then, NOTHING can be flashed, not even this PIT file.

> what did you do before flashing the rom? wipe everything? nothing?

> what kernel did you use?

> what kernel are you using right now?

As I said, could not flash it. Any suggestions, or is the phone uberb0rked?

This fix is not working well for me...

Got the emmc brick,

did exactly according to the guide, got my i9100 working again, but all the firmwares (original and custom, GB and ICS),that I installed,

behave really bad - hangs every couple of minutes, reboots, sometimes after reboot it just stucks on Samsung logo...

(tried it both ways, as the guide says - same result).

Any suggestions? :(

I'm currently on LPM but before that i was on CM9 and it was as smooth as before.

I think I did the wipes, but to be sure -

the last step - "Format internal sdcard" - should be done from the running GB/ICS ("format usb storage") or from the recovery ("mount and storage -> format /emmc")?

Thanks for the help!

well, anyway, both of them didn't help... still hangs after 2-3 minutes of using... :(
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
I did same as you did, flashed the european open version 4.0.4 I9100XXLQ5 (and btw have faulty chip).

When I realized that I9100XXLQ5 was risky I recovered to 4.0.3 using a nandroid backup made a few days before using Rom Manager. It went well :)

If you don't have a nandroid backup I would suggest to download I9100UHLPS Argentina (ARO) and flash it using Odin Mobile Pro. According to Chainfire Odin Mobile Pro do not use the risky way of wiping (btw I never have made any wipe of factory reset).

Secondary I "lost" my serial number when I flashed I9100XXLQ5 and it didn't return after restoring to I9100UHLPS Argentina (ARO). I had to flash a 4.0.3 bootloader using Odin PC ... and voila ...serial number was back again :)

freezes can mean that you still have bricked blocks in your partitions.

You can check them with dd command in adb like this:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/dev/null

(insert appropriate partitions here)

If this freezes, there will be bad blocks inside.
