Yes, consider yourself lucky you didn't upgrade to the official ICS. It's beyond crap. I went from stock 2.3.6 to stock ICS... Wow, really, really bad. Went from a pretty darn good phone to something verging on unusable. :( Worse, apparently there is no road back to stock 2.3.6 Problems? Bluetooth sucks, caller ID sucks, contacts sucks... etc, etc... Stay well clear of stock ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Sure there is a way back!

Flash the stock tar file from odin.. or if you have a custom recovery installed... flash the stock rom that way.

Where did you get "no way back".. seriously i want to know.

This is total opposite from my experience. Never had a problem with bluetooth on any rom. I connect to 3 devices on a regular basis with zero hassle. Caller ID and contacts work the same. Not sure how Caller ID can suck as it always works and really doesn't have much to do with the rom.

There's an easy way to go back to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 through Odin or CWM. Just download it right here. Yes, you can get back to untouched stock 2.3.6.

I think you are spreading some misleading info against ICS without doing adequate searches or troubleshooting. It almost sounds like your phone is malfunctioning, or your ICS upgrade did not take cleanly.

The Model number is SGH-i727

Serial number, look at the one posted behind your battery, not the one on the box.

Even though not stated, if you do these steps with some leaks like UCLF5, it does not wipe your device when you get upgraded to UCLF6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Hi guys, and thanks for pointing me towards a 2.3.6 path!!!! I've been searching and the only information I could find until this is that 2.3.5 was available, but not .6. On other "official ICS" complaint threads, people are specifically saying that there is no path back to 2.3.6 except through custom roms.

I have no experience with the custom ICS roms on this phone, so I'm not saying anything against them at all. However, there are a lot of people VERY unhappy with the official Rom, so I don't think it's me. Problems? BT drops all the time. The phone drops calls all the time. The task bar dimmer is inop. Caller ID does not work if you're in the AT&T contact app. If a call comes through while you're in it, it is impossible to see who's calling except by answering the phone. (It won't let you leave the app while an incoming call is ringing.) Lots of apps work for sh*&% with it. etc, etc. To be honest, I was completely happy with 2.3.6 except for the occasional--once every few days or so--BT drop. I figured they'd fix that in the official ICS upgrade, so I upgraded immediately. Big mistake. I know there are probably some great custom roms out there, but 2.3.6 worked so well for me--and stability is my primary concern--that I really just want to go back to 2.3.6 and stay there. I've done the custom rom thing with my old WM phones, but seriously, stock 2.3.6 is close to perfect for me.

Thanks again!!! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
I remember someone posting the link to 2.3.6 in a thread but can't remember which. Anyway you should be able to Odin 2.3.5 and take the 2.3.6 OTA

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] syypher:
Cycled 3 times now and the first day with moderate use I went about 8-9 hours. It was awesome. Now that I'm using it a little heavier and will actually be using it quite heavily with data, gps, browsing, phone calls etc. I am noticing maybe that really isn't enough... I need like 12 hours or more like I hear some people are getting...

So I ask you XDA, what is THE BEST way for me to achieve super long battery life with heavy use. I'm already using SetCPU (settings below)

2100 maH battery? (Will this even be a huge difference from our current battery? I don't know what our stock battery maH is..)

3800 maH battery? (If this ends up being the best solution...I need a good case to support it and these usually don't have those...)

A way to turn off LTE?

...any other way to get 12+ hours out of my phone with heavy usage? I'm never in the car long enough or at a desk long enough some days to be able to plug my phone in and charge...

Also, I've searched and searched and can't find anything other than "The LTE

is still on

even if you use X ROM, or turn X settings off, or install X kernel/radio." Is there any new update on how to turn off LTE on the Skyrocket when rooted?

My SetCPU settings:

Clock max 1350 MHz

Clock min 192 MHz

Please help. I NEED to find a way to do this. I'm a network technician and having no access to phone calls and emails is tough. Also my family and loved ones after the work day and I'm still out doing errands for another 4 or so hours and my phone is 0% dead isn't a good thing.

*Note: If the 2100maH battery takes the stock back plate and it can give me what I'm asking for I would PREFER it. I have an Otterbox case I dropped $50 + SH on and I'd like to keep using it....

I found a 2250maH Battery on ebay.. MFG is Andida. $13 shipped. Fits in the stock battery location with the stock cover. I have an OtterBox case. All is well! Worth the 7 day wait!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] syypher:
Thank you Hemi! Is Andida a good brand or something? Or are you just letting me know so I can find it? Just curious. How has the life been? I had an Atrix before the SkyRocket and I know a MAJOR issue with that phone was anything above stock that was breaking the 2000maH mark WOULD NOT register in the battery's true %. No matter what cycling, "fixes", battery stat resets etc. that you did. Does the battery on here show you the actual stats? Would this battery last long enough to meet my needs? 12 hour day with heavy usage?

Sorry for the question bombardment...but if this will really answer my needs which I really need answered ASAP, I will drop the $ for this immediately.

Also, what do you guys who've under clocked found as a good clock to keep it at? 1.5ghz is REALLY high IMO and I normally have it cap around 1.2ghz...anyone found a good clock to run around and it still be snappy and smooth? :)

Also..how do the guys with stock batteries get those 12 hour times? Is it just moderate usage? Will the 2100mah or 2200mah batteries give me what I want? 12 hours high usage? Or do I need to go with the 3800mah seidos I've been hearing a lot of good reviews on...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lnfound:
Can't help with the battery, but I run 1080 max 192 min, battery is more or less same as 1500 max for me. I get 4hrs screen on time, maybe 3.5 if there's above average voice use. This is with data on the whole time. I've found my battery is just about completely dependent on screen time, minus some expected drain over the course of hours but that's very minimal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lirong:
In my experience the Extended Samsung Nexus battery is a better solution than the Andida.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hemibat:
The battery and mfg is the only one I found that was a 2500maH. It was the largest I found that kept everything I wanted (stock battery, cover, etc). There might be another CO that makes one, but this is what I've found. Two weeks and running. It charges the first 65% like a banshee, then slows down for the remainder.

It's worked well for me, extending my day and making life easier. It really doesn't take any longer to fully charge than the stock one did, just longer life throughout the day.

Hope this helps.

I rooted my device, put SKYICS on it, and tweaked the CPU and UV, and now I'm using my phone heavy and at hour 12 i'm at 39%, so happy now with this phone now. It does me. Give it a try, believe me you wont be disappointed.

Hey ppl. I just bought my Sprint Galaxy S III. I've searched but found no answer. I was wondering why the US version (or at-least the Sprint version) of the Galaxy S III does not have the adjustable screen color profile option and the international Galaxy S III does? I've read that it is on the international version but why not ours. This option was also on the Galaxy S II. I loved this feature because I liked my screen as vibrant as possible, yeah I know the colors aren't realistic but I don't care. Any body have an idea about this?

I was a long time iOS user too (started with 1.0.3 in September 2007), I changed to Android about one year and a half now and nowadays I really prefer Android phones, Android has some really nice features. I can't help you with all the questions but I will try.

First of all, are you using the TouchWiz or have you tried other roms? TW has nice features but I really prefer a purer Android experience. With other roms you'll have freedom to personalize and change whatever you want on your phone, in my opinion this is one of the coolest things on Android. I believe CM9 (CyanogenMod9) is a good rom, but there are many other great roms available. If you want to try other roms you can look for it on the Development forums, and you can return to Samsung official rom when you want to.

1. To select specific ringtones you should look for your contact (People or dialer app), when you open it press the menu button and you'll see the option "Set ringtone".

2. I don't know any app to replace the 'lockscreen info', I believe something similar is coming to Android Jellybean, but you could use any app like 'Widget Locker' and use GMail widgets by now, it's not the same but should work.

For me the best email app ever is GMail... I got your point but I've never had any problems with it. I don't use any security camera or car alarm app on my Android phones, so I can't help you with this too, but there's a feature available on some roms (like AOKP) that should help you with this car alarm problem it's the 'hold back to kill' option, you just hold the back button and it instantly kills the crashed app. Although you can always long press the home button to see recent apps and then slide the crashed rom, it should kill the app from ram quickly.

If I remember any better options for this problems I will reply here, but I hope it helps you enjoy your new Galaxy SIII. :)

You can configure tasker and minimalistic text to display unread emails, missed texts, missed calls etc. Tasker is a little expensive if you're just looking for and widget with the number of unread emails since there are a ton of dedicated widgets for that, but tasker is a lot more flexible and you can configure it to do a lot of other things too like nfc actions.

Well I'm not as knowledgeable as most of these guys when it comes to ask this android but I too just came over from a jail broken iPhone. But I've been using android like a mistress for over a year and came up with a few things:

Executive assistant is the closest app I found to replace Lock Info. But I don't use it anymore since I can drop down NC from lock screen to see what I missed. Gmail calendars can text you alerts.

Missed It allows you to create some pretty cool notifications in your launcher.

Prefixer allows you to alter your number dialed with default dialer. Works great for auto area codes or extended speed dial numbers...

I switch between Swype and Swift key

Pretty much all the "cool" features are in stock android. Edit contact with any ringtone should do it. Switch out the contact icon on the bottom (don't need it you can see contacts in the green phone icon)with gmail and It will be on your lock screen.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Araltd:
as far as the ringtone thing, what I'm taking about specifically is with a jail break app called ringer x I am able to set ringtones for a contact call, sms, email. 3 unique tones for 3 unique actions from the same contact.

Plus you can tell it ignore mute, and no matter what your ringer setting is, it will make noise (ring) at the volume you set in the contact. It's pretty great, especially for those of us with kids.

And I agree android is a learning curve.

I asked this last year and haven't gotten anywhere since.

I started out with the G2 and quickly had CM7 on it. I had a insurance replacement and got the MT4GS as a replacement. Camera is an important app for me. I was spoiled with all the great stuff on CM7 but the Google camera in the G2 was not very good. After trying several camera apps, I found none.

Back to the MT4GS. The camera app was great and it is the biggest reason I have not stuck with the various roms available here.

I did upgrade to the Galaxy S3 but I returned it after a couple of days because I just couldn't justify $350 ( after rebate, total cost). It got me ticked off when I heard a co worker tell me he got his at Sprint for $100 plus the taxes. It is a great phone and it already has much rom development.

SO - Why is our phone so far behind the rest of the good phones out there? Why is the camera with 1080 video so hard to get going? We have a great phone but no developers can approach the complete package I got with CM7.

I am not a developer. I have donated to people whose roms I have used. I have the paid version of ROM Manager, but since I got the MT4GS, it is worthless except to use as an installer.

I used to download nightlies every night.

NOW who's not reading threads before asking questions, XMC? :p :p :p

It is true that there's a lot less dev on this phone than many others with inferior hardware. It would be nice to have an RC for CM9, for instance(though our build is plenty stable).

I will say, though, that the few we do have are big winners. For big names, We've got MIUI, Virtuous, CM, and AOKP. We've got also got several tweaked stock builds. There ARE roms that keep the stock camera too while being pretty far from stock, so I'm not sure about that complaint.

As far as other devices that have 800 different ROMs available, I spent a lot of time tweaking my OG Droid, and a friend of Mine's HTC EVO 4G. 80% of the builds that are out there on those devices are just clones of each other with buggy themes or different UI versions thrown on, some features enabled or disabled, or debloated rips of the stock rom. If you go into the development sections for these other devices, you will find that the majority of people who make a lot of posts and provide the most help tend to be on one of three to five major ROMS, just the same as you see in the dev section here.

I was actually this close to ditching the Slide for the Galaxy Nexus when Jelly Bean was released. I miiiiiiight still do it, but I'm really leaning toward keeping the Slide just because of the camera. The still pictures on this phone are so superior to anything else I've ever used, that I've stopped using a regular camera entirely.

And from what everyone says, the GNex camera is pretty bad. So yeah, better software is nice, but hardware is hugely important, too. The camera and keyboard are what's keeping me with the Slide. Plus, CM9 is pretty sweet.

When I think about it, the deal breaker is the camera. The hardware, the app itself and the full video resolution.

When I had the G2, it had a stock android camera app. I didn't miss what I never had. When I got to the slide, I miss the stock camera app. Sense? I could care less about it. I use ADW_EX so my phones and tablet work the same.

I'm just looking for my next great phone.

Thanks for the answers.
