[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ichooseyou:
After rooting my SGS2 and installing Cyanogen Mod 9 I have loads of apps that can do things which other apps can do, if that makes sense. I currently have the following apps installed and I want to know which ones I can remove because they duplicating their features, kind of like on a PC where you have Google Chrome, IE, Firefox...like you have 3 web browsers un necessarily.

Rom toolbox Pro

Terminal Emulator

Superuser

SMS Backup & Restore

Lucky Patcher

Root Explorer

Rom Manager

Busybox free

AppExtractor

Chainfire 3D

CWM

Titanium Backup

So for example Rom Toolbox Pro has a root browser so can I delete Root explorer?

Also is there a way where I can change my theme back to how it was? I am so used to like the standard SGS2 layout and theme I just wondered if I can change it back. Like I am finding it weird getting used to the keyboard, when I pull down the notification bar I don't have wifi, bluetooth, gps, 3g, auto rotation anymore. And the messaging layout is different etc.

And is there a way where I can get back my old default apps like My files, Music, Task Manager...I know that there are apps that can do that but I kind of liked having the default ones that were there?

Thanks peoples.

Okay I just found out that Samsung Apps only work on official Samsung ROMs right? That's what I have just read here..

Yeah thats right, just copy&paste the Samsung .apks wont work, but they can be ported in order to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segagamer:
As it's quite needed for my line of work, I wanted to know if there was either a way to transfer calls with the stock Phone.apk, or if there was a more advanced one that's been developed which supports it. In the past I've had to, pardon the expression, host an embarrassing three-way, to work round it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Does your carrier allow transfering calls? Weird, never heard of such thing being available to regular customers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segagamer:
As a business customer, our network does allow transfers. Owners of the Galaxy S II in the company are able to transfer calls without a problem. However, Galaxy Nexus owners lack the luxury...

I'm not sure. I don't think I've seen that available on stock dialer. Could it be a Sammy mod? These S2 are running what, Gingerbread, ICS..JB? ;)

Hello

I was wondering if there is a way to delete the default "PTA" APN?

My Att account does not have LTE, don't really need or want it. I have a grandfathered unlimited plan.

However, since plugging in my SIM to the Ion I keep geting the nag messages from ATT. "Add an eligible Plan" "you don't have the right LTE plan" etc.

I think if I just switch APNs to the HSDPA I should be fine. I have added the APN, but the Ion won't let me delete the default PTA APN.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] randy_c:
Go to mobile network setting> Acess point name > Menu and add new APN

Name: AT&T

APN: wap.cingular

proxy: blank

Port: blankUser name: WAP>CINGULARGPRS.COM

server: not set

MMSC: Http://mmsc.cingular.com

Than save. Hope this will work for you
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stiffi2011:
Thanks, I have the NEW APN, my problem is the Phone won't let me delete the Default one. All the options are greyed out and there is no menu options available, so I can't delete
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
You realize you can change to the LTE plan from the unlimited data and keep unlimited right. Doesn't change the cost at all (as long as its a real smartphone unlimited not the medianet)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Also the International firmware might work better since it won't include any apn settings when you set it IP first.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stiffi2011:
No didn't realize that! I always avoided LTE since I was afraid to lose my unlimited. Maybe I should just call ATT then!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
HEHE yeh give them a call. They will change it without issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
OK i know this is slightly off topic but Spectre i feel like you might have an answer for me on this one. And we are sort of talking about Unlimited Data.

Ok here's the scenario i've been on unlimited smart phone plan forever... and i can prove that by looking at my bill. (p.s. i'm an added line to my parents plan)

now last year i left america and went overseas for a while.. i wasn't sure how long i'd be gone. when i get back i turn my old phone on *line was never canceled as it would have cost them some ridiculous 300$ ETF* and went about my daily business. now prior to me leaving the country i lived alone out in the sticks and constantly relied on my smartphone and unlimited plan. i tethered all the time (*using a rooted custom ROM*) i donwloaded all the time.. i played ps3 over ATT network all the time... they never said a thing... When i moved back to USA i moved back in with the folks because i was screwed financially at that point. since they had great internet and wifi i rarely used my data on my phone except when i was out and about watching you tube what not... never got big into streaming though so i guess i never really used all that much... LONGER story short i got a text yesterday saying i had used 65% of my 2GB limit! wtf! the ONLY thing i can think of is that for the first time ever i used pretty much data only to stream from google music on a long drive..... as the ION was so new i hadn't yet put anything on my SD card.... well i go and look at the bill and what do you know they aren't kidding they had switched me without notification to a completely diff plan when i got back from europe... so my question after all this drivel *(agian sorry for that)* DO i have grounds to go in and ***** up a storm till they put me back on my grandfathered unlimited plan? i personally feel this is outrageous.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Absolutely I would go in and raise hell. They didn't notify you or send you any warnings that you would be changed. You didn't cancel your account at any time there should be no reason they switched you . Complain and keep escalating the issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stiffi2011:
So I called them. Had to call 2 times. The 1st time the person kept trying to upgrade my phone no matter how many times I said I already had it. The fact that I bought it 3rd party completely confused them. So I called back. Then, as Spectre said (thanks) they just switched my plan to LTE.

I don't understdand the difference. If the SIM and phone were capable all along what is the point of the magic switch to change plans? There was no change in charge and I still have unlimited. Weird, but I can't complain.

Thanks again for the help!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stiffi2011:
BTW LTE is CRAZY fast. I have never used it before. I think it's stronger than my wifi signal in my home.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
GREAT! Good to know u think they are crazy too. PS. If I go into my local store and work my way up to a manager. Who do I go to After that if he wont help. I've already been given the go ahead by my dad to threaten them with taking our service elsewhere. We have had this contract for 14 years. And never missed or been late with a single payment. I feel like if I show up with print outs of the bill both before and after there isn't much they can argue right? My dad is the type to not check and just pay the damn bill. Just lost both my grandfathers in the last two years he's been pretty stressed. Which is why he wants me to go in and deal with this.

I hope they try and argue cuz ill make a stink they wont forget.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Make sure its a corporate store and not a franchise. If the manager there won't help tell them to get the district manager on the phone or just call AT&T and immediately ask for a supervisor.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] randy_c:
I live in Denver and I know we have LTE. In fact, my company gave me an Iphone 5 using for work but I replace it with the Ion for the weekend usage but I have to modify the original set to AT&T phone instead of PTA to get the internet working and the LTE is picking up fast compared with iphone 5. Why? I like using android phone....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Is your sim card in the ion setup through att for LTE? I believe you can only use the PTA apn if your sim is provisioned for LTE.

Yes it LTE ready and when insert in iphone 5 I got the LTE instead of 4G. Denver just got the LTE this week.

What is meant by "set it IP first". I have issues with not getting LTE anymore. If I remember correctly it was just after the ICS upgrade.

Hi,

Yesterday I flashed CM9 resurrection edition (before that I had a 2.3.5 stock ROM) and GAPPS.

Everything seems to work fine, apart from the GPS function...

In 2 times I tried, it took my SG2 about 15-20 minutes to lock on to a signal (and after that it was fine...), but in all the other times, it doesn't get a lock on.

I d/l GPS status and GPS Test and I get nothing.

I tried the AGPS patch from here, but nothing seems to work.

I looked all over the net for a solution, but didn't got to anything useful.

Can anyone help?

After a day and a half of trouble and stress using Kies, I wonder if there is anyway of getting the stock AT&T ICS ROM (the one that I would get if I upgrade using Kies) without using Kies, like downloading and flashing in ODIN or some other method. Because using Kies is impossible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Buddy39914:
Bump I really, really need this. I won't be able to update for weeks or a month if not.

also, when Kies recognizes it (1 in 1000 times) it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". I am unrooted and on stock rom.

Also, now how to root and keep stock? Pref. A stock kernel. Or rerouted kernel. Or the easiest way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Evaporize:
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel for me?

I have been trying to outsmart Samsung Kies since the update came out. I could not wait, like many of you guys, and decided to try out some custom ROMs, so I was not allowed to download the update because of the firmware message. I've downgraded to stock Gingerbread ROM, reset the binary flash counter, and wiped all the data on my phone, yet it is not enough.

When i did the *#1234# thing, I got PDA: I717UCLA1 (which was the same code as my CSC before I reset the flash counter), Phone: I717UCLC5 (the last ROM I was on), and CSC: I717ATTLA1 (what I think I need them all to be).

Since there has only been one official firmware version, 2.3.6, aside from the ICS I want, I can't make my phone think I have only been on stock firmware for the past two flashes. I'm totally screwed unless someone makes the Kies version flash-able through ODIN or tells me I'm an idiot and hands me the solution to cracking Kies on a silver platter!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Buddy39914:
Do the method that If you open Kies then go to Tools then Firmware upgrade & initialization, it asks for two pieces of info about the phone. The S/N & model number. Enter them exactly as is (back of the phone behind the battery) use SGH-I717 as model (capital letters). Worked for me. If it doesn't, try on another pc.

Also, now signal seems a lot weaker, fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
You guys know how much easier it would have been to just to flash clockwork recovery mod right? You could download and flash roms without a computer or USB cord all day.

I'm on a Mac and when i click on Tools, i get this: Emergency firmware recovery, Firmware upgrade settings, and Install driver

Could this indicate a hardware problem with the device? Or would you say it's more likely to be something that can be fixed in a firmware update?
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
I'm not entirely sure what the problem is. The log shows a device reporting the same lat & long repeatedly every 30 second or so for ten minutes. If the device isn't moving then that is exactly what I'd expect to see.
[General Questions and Answers] lawrence750:
Thanks for the reply, I've always expected the long lat to vary just slightly even if it was in the same place?

Problem that I have, is that some of the PDAs stick on this for ages, sometimes when they're actually moving as well, and just to add on to it, some decide they are in the north sea , and then send duplicate long lats of the north Sea position, tis a right pain!
[General Questions and Answers] burdman:
Have any of these devices been in your possession when reporting falsely? The reason I ask is that most videos I have watched on GPS blockers show devices stationary at the location when the blocker was turned on. I don't know if that would explain the north sea reporting though.
[General Questions and Answers] lawrence750:
That's interesting you say that, the answer is no, our company uses the gps of Pdas to track the drivers of taxis, courier vans etc, as well as other things, but tracking is a common problem reported and the duplicates are also common, as well as simply no long lat at all.. I'll do some more research into the blockers it could explain a lot.

Hard thing of course is proving this is what's happening

Yeah, unless you see it plugged into the cigarette lighter it's kinda hard to catch someone.

That's hard to say because it's all very subjective. One person may prefer one ROM release over another.
