[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] arberthebarber:
Hey,

I am a frequent runner (run twice daily 5k+) and I was wondering what a good arm band for my I727r. I am using one of those $3 arm bands from china with an added Velcro pad (cause it was coming off while I was running) but I am not too big of a fan of it. Is there any other ones that are better and possibly a different color then blue.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LinuxNewb:
I'm happy with this armband, however it was not meant for the SGS2. The fit is a little tight and you can't really use the touch functionality through the screen because the size is off. I have Bluetooth headphones and lately it seems to skip more often. Might be the headphones though, don't know.

[General Questions and Answers] DavidSnake:
Hello guys! I'm a newbie to the android world as i'm planning to get my first smartphone. As it is retailing for 130€ the HTC Explorer seems like a good choice.

I want to learn how to root it because I need to unlock it as I need to use different sim cards. Moreover I want to exploit the phone, optimize it and maybe OC it a bit.

As far as i understood i need to do the following steps:

This tutorial to root it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1415223

This rom to install: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473218

Are these the right steps to take?

And would be "easy" for someone that doesn't know anything to do it?

Thanks for your help guys!
[General Questions and Answers] DavidSnake:
c'mon guys, 5 min of your time!! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
As for the guide to root the Explorer, he's basically spoon feeding instructions, so as long as you do exactly what he's doing, there shouldn't be a problem. If you have any specific questions about the process, you might want to ask in that thread.

The ROMing part is the very easy part, you choose a ROM of your choice and flash it. The link for the ROM you posted requires a certain recovery (and it appears to need some ext partition), so bear that in mind. Remember to read everything to be safe. I think most Sense ROMs require a partitioned SD card.
[General Questions and Answers] DavidSnake:
Thanks a lot for your reply!

I also see there are a lot of topics regarding kernel.

Should I also update the kernel after rooting it? Or does the rom update already includes a more functional kernel?
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
JaggyROM already includes a custom kernel.

What the kernel does is manages the CPU. Different kernels have different governers, some kernels help battery life, other kernels help with the performance of the device.

For example, the stock kernel cannot overclock, does not have governers like smartass or interactive. But flashing a custom kernel may allow OCing and give you more governers.

I, myself have never flashed a custom kernel by itself because the ROMs I flash already have good enough kernels included.
[General Questions and Answers] DavidSnake:
Ok cool, so i will install the jaggyROM and have nothing to worry!

One last question: does the process of rooting unlock the SIM card? From what i've read by unlocking the bootloader you also unlock the sim card.

If not are there any more steps i need to take?

Or it is simply not possible and i have to buy a IMEI code to unlock the SIM card?
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Rooting does not unlock the SIM card, nor does unlocking the bootloader, sorry. :(

For your phone, yes you will have to unlock the traditional way
[General Questions and Answers] DavidSnake:
i found this tutorial in another website. is it bogus?

[INSTRUCTIONS]:

[Prerequisites:]

HTC Sync (Windows Only)

HTC Super Tool

Enable USB Debug on Pico

Use Charge Only mode when connected to PC

Exit HTC Sync on PC

[Steps:]

1. Go to HTCDEV website: HTCdev - Unlock Bootloader

2. Click on "Begin Unlock Bootloader" (create a user if you don't have one)

3. Use HTC Super Tool in the [Prerequisites] to generate your token. (Or, alternatively, follow the instructions step 1 through step 10 on htcdev.com)

4. In step 10, when posting your token, make sure you remove the blanks preceding each line

5. After you receive your Unlock_code.bin in email, follow step 11.

6. Now your pico aka explorer should reboot and you have your bootloader and sim unlocked.

(i didn't put any credits or source as i dont know the forum policy)
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
As far as I know, unlocking the bootloader will not SIM unlock the phone. The guide itself sounds legit, and I believe that is the way to unlock the bootloader, but the SIM should still be locked.

and I thought I should point this out, I'm pretty sure unlocking the bootloader will factory reset your phone, so you might want to make a backup of everything first
[General Questions and Answers] DavidSnake:
ok thanks a lot for your help!

i will buy the phone tomorrow and we'll see what happens :)

do you know any safe website to buy an unlocking code in case that tutorial doesn't work?
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
No problem! Always glad to help. (And remember to click the thanks button for whichever posts you found helpful hehe :D)

I've never had to unlock my phone, but what I think the best place to unlock is at a local cell shop. However, they do charge a lot, for profit and such. Otherwise, the next best option is to use eBay and make sure its a trusted seller with good feedback. Personally, all those SIM unlocking sites look fishy to me :p
[General Questions and Answers] spaceboy_psy:
I can confirm this does sim unlock the Explorer! Yays. Shame it has to void warranty ... o_0 now to see if I can relock bootloader and keep sim unlock...

Funny enough, i read about it and didnt think it would work. But i just unlocked one of those phones which was carrier branded and didnt want to accept the code the box gave me. As last resort i tried this method and i can confirm it works. Incredible!!!! When i thought this was a very hard phone to sim unlock i found this thread and unlocked the bootloader and that was it, i got a sim unlocked HTC Explorer. Good Job you guys!

I used one with my iPhone 3G and never really liked the rubbery feel. When I got my iPhone 4, I couldn't bear to put anything on that screen. I felt the same way with my HOX. The screen is just too damn nice to cover up with anything. I'm getting some microscratches but they are only visible in direct sunlight, so it doesn't bother me much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Giskarded:
Get a protector. Mine scratched (had it for a month). It wasn't major but keys and phone in same pocket dont go well. Even if you try to avoid it.. eventually it will happen. Small light scratches
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
This is a good point. If you're going bareback, you need to be more careful. My HOX gets a pocket to itself--nothing else goes in there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xeper:
No protector since day-one, little hairlines are all over the screen. They're so innocuous that it has to be off and in the sunlight for me to see, but they're there, and I'm pretty sure it's only going to get worse over the next 8+ months I that I'll have the phone before moving on.

I'm very, VERY picky about scuffs and whatnot, I carry this thing by itself in my pockets and never place it face down, I can only assume the screen has something against expensive dress-slack pockets. :(

My Evo 4G and Evo 3D both went a year in the same conditions with absolutely none of these little hairline scuffs, and that's the only part about it that really gets me. My Evo 4G screen actually cracked (dropped a PSP on it from only about a foot, but the metal corner hit and it was toast) and I replaced it myself with an OEM screen (fingers were crossed) and even that screen never saw a single scuff mark.

I'm getting one of those full-body clear application things. We'll see how that goes.

I don't like cases or screen protectors. They ruin the look and feel of the phone. Cases make it fat, no matter how thin they are. Screen protectors ruin the smooth slick feel of the screen, and remove some visual quality, no matter how good the protector is.

Same with my old Sensation, no protector, but it wasn't scratched.

All it takes is common sense. Don't put the phone in the same pocket as your keys etc...

I think that some people buy the wrong screen protectors. I can't even tell mine is there and it actually makes it easier for my finger to slide across the screen.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] enviii:
Nope im livin life on the edge right now.

TBH you won't even notice those tiny hairline scratches when the screen is on. And I don't have any scratches anyway (that I can see with my naked eye). You just have to be careful about where you put your phone and how you handle it. I did the same thing with my iPhone 4. Had a screen protector on for almost a year (a Zagg orange peel one) and after I took it off I couldn't go back to any screen protector at all. In the end my phone was fine and scratches are just invisible when the screen is on, which is all that matters in the end anyway.

This is my first device to go bare and still not a scratch on it (got it on release day). Like others have said, it gets a pocket all to itself. I also never have it screen down while it's sitting on a table or something unless I flip it over to activate the speakerphone.

Also, I went to the beach this past weekend and put the phone in a plastic sandwich bag. Lo and behold, I dropped it in the sand because I'm a stupid idiot but lo and behold once more, phone protected =D (and yes, I have confirmed that people give you strange looks when they see you using a phone in a bag)

About 5 months? I don't think so...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] filthyfnj24:
As with other instances in life, raw dogging it can lead to some serious consequences. Therefore I have had a zagg hd on since day one. I put it on before even playing with the phone so I didn't get too used to how it felt naked. I've been doing this since the nexus one days so I'm pretty familiar with zagg and have come to love the grippy "orange peel texture" though it is a lot smoother on the new hd. I don't mind a few bumps, bruises and scratches on the body of my phone as they're just beauty marks but I need my screen to be immaculate. Any imperfection would bug me to no end. Zagg gets messed up? Take it back to best buy (as long as you got it from there and have your receipt) and get a new one for free. Also a flawless screen helps keep the resale value high. Winning.

I don't understand how ANYONE can put something like ZAGG on their screen. Or anything of similar material. No matter what it will always have orange peel and will always cause resistance and drag. and 2nd they're expensive as hell and totally not worth it.

A prime example of good marketing and catchy packaging.

I've been using cheap plastic protectors from ebay. They work great. They don't cause any drag. I'm COMPLETELY careless when I have one on. i put my keys in the same pocket, all sorts of crap. I just replace the protector once a month as it will get fine scratches if you're not careful. these cheap protectors are not scratch resistance. but they're cheap so worth it.
