[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TauSigmaNova:
I'm currently a proud owner of a Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V running Android 4.0.4 It's a great little phone- I'm guessing it is virtually indestrcutible- (I dropped it. ALOT. And spilled some water. Not even a hiccup!). It's a little phone that could and for something like this- it's amazing, but I feel it's time for an upgrade. As great as it is, let's face it. It's ancient. A 600MHz ARM V6 processor, 418MB of memory, and it's screen is only 3.2". It's opnly supposed to run Froyo. /FROYO/. That's pretty ancient. I'm looking for a new phone, but here's the catch- It has to be on a reasonably inexpensive pre-paid plan. (My parents don't want me to get a contract and I don't blame them, they can be expensive.) Virgin Mobile (My current carrier; 35 dollars a month with unlimited 3G) has only two "decent" phones- A 199.99 HTC One V. A SOLID phone but seriously, 512MB RAM and a SINGLE CORE 1GHz is really not a lot. On the other hand, they have the 300 dollar Evo V 3D with 4G, though it's not really something I want and it's a bit over my prace range- (Up to 250 USD).

While searching plans, I found T-Mobile's 30 dollar Monthly 4G plan. It's wonderful for me. I don't call much but I use lots of data and text alot. T-Mobile also has better coverage, and this is 4G. Not boring old 3G. (I don't mind 3G, but 4G is just better.) While thinking of decent phones I could manage to get GSM Unlocked, I thought Galaxy SII, Galaxy Nexus, and a few others. I looked all around Craigslist NYC, Amazon, Google, and Ebay for all phones and I found that on ebay the bids for a decent SII in decent condition could reasonably be bought for under $250 (T-Mobile/GSM). I'm wondering- Do I need the GSM or the T-Mobile variant, or will either work. Is this phone good and a value for the money? I really like the design and the specs on it. It also has lots of JB ROMs and Native ICS which is a HUGE plus.

Also, is there any difference between the SII with the Capacitive buttons and the one with a huge Home button? (P.S.: I like the one with all capacitive buttons more :D)

Thanks for reading this.Any answers/input is greatly appreciated.

Edit! I was looking at the ebay link again and found a website called Wirefly where they are offering a SII 4G for 100 bucks if I make a new account. Does this count with a Prepaid account? And if so, is the SII 4G compatible with normal SII roms?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Your profile says you're in the US, so I'm assuming your talking about T-Mobile USA.

The Galaxy S II for T-Mobile is massively different than the "one with the huge home button", as you refer to it. They have completely different hardware, including SoC/CPU/GPU.

The "one with the huge home button" is the I9100, and this post is currently in the forum for that device.

The one for T-mobile USA that has the 4 capacitive buttons is the SGH-T989, and that device has its own forum.

There are also other variants for US carriers AT&T, Sprint, and US Cellular. The one for US Cellular doesn't have its own forum but is somewhat closely related hardware wise to the Sprint variant, so there are posts concerning it within that forum. But the AT&T, Sprint, and T-mobile USA variants are all different from each other, and they are all different from the I9100.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

That's still the SGH-T989.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TauSigmaNova:
Uhuh.... I'm getting a bit confused. Should I simply repost this thread in the other forum?

TMobile USA has like 2 diffent SIIs? Im so confused..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Pretty sure they only have one.

If you have questions about the T-mobile version, you should post in the T-mobile forum. This device does work on T-mobile USA's network, but only gets Edge, as it doesn't fully work to get "4G" on that network.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TauSigmaNova:
Ah, I thought this would be the forum to post it in since i was considering either a GSM Unlocked one or TMobile.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You need to consider what network you're intending on running the device on before you get the device itself.

The i9100 gets high speed data on AT&T's network, but only gets Edge on T-mobile USA's network. There's nothing that can be done about this; the phone antenna hardware just doesn't receive one of the two necessary frequencies to make it happen.

I've heard rumors that the T-mobile variant can be modified to get high speed data on AT&T's network, but it doesn't work that way out of the box.

The LTE variant that AT&T sells (the Skyrocket) can reportedly be modified to get high speed data on T-mobile USA's network, but it doesn't work that way out of the box.

EDIT: BTW, the Skyrocket has its own separate forum from the AT&T variant as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TauSigmaNova:
I want to buy the TMobile or International device and use it on TMobiles Monthly 4G service. Prefferably from the wirefly link if I can use it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
As I said, the i9100 (which is the international device) will only get Edge speeds on T-mobile USA's network. As long as you know this going in...

Any questions pertaining to the device actually sold by T-mobile should go to the forum for that device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TauSigmaNova:
Yeah, I posted this thread there and hope to get replies soon.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
BTW - the implication in your first post is that 4G is VERY important to you. You DO realize that this eliminates the I9100 as a possible choice for your device to use on T-mobile's network, right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TauSigmaNova:
No, no, it's not VERY important to me, but it's a very nice plus.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wirefly_Kim:
The link you posted, is for customers who create a new post paid (contract) account through us for T-Mobile. We do offer T-Mobile pre-paid phones and accounts, but the prices are usually different. I am happy to help you with any questions you have about Wirefly - I work at our HQ. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk plan specifics. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TauSigmaNova:
Its fine, really. I simply do not like any of the T-Mobile prepaid phones. Bad dev support/specs. I'd gladly get a postpaid but they're expensvce , contracts are a hassle, and my parents won't let me get a contract: prepaid only. I live 4 blocks from a TMobile phone, I can just buy the plan there.

Also, I think the S3 is out of my price range. Plus, the s2 is still a great phone and I kinda like the design more.

Just letting everyone know you can get 10GB of free online storage.

Oh my god, thank you. Now I'm not stuck with DropBoxes 1GB junk.
[Xperia Play General] jeffbud98:
Mediafire has a lot more space (i think unlimited) and has super fast download and upload speeds just use that :p
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
Dropbox is still the best. Then mediafire and 4 shared imho
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
There is also D-H.St. it's free and super fast and you get 20gb of storage.
[Xperia Play General] - Swift -:
Isn't that DevHost?

RC's and RT's get Unlimited Data.

(IICRC)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Yes, DevHost. Just letting people know, as there may be some users who are unaware of that site
[Xperia Play General] centrec:
I'd stay away from CX.com. I was sucked in by the amount of free storage they allowed, but in the process of backing up my files more than half of the files on my hard drive were deleted. I did extensive searching, and they were not moved - they were gone. I emailed CX a half dozen times begging for help, hoping it was part of their backup process and that they could help me easily restore the files. I never got a response to any of my emails, and when logged into my account the dashboard said I had no outstanding inquiries - my emails to tech support disappeared just like my files.

In the end I had to go through 500 folders, each with 3-5 subfolders and many files in each one, to find the stuff that had been erased and individually download them back to my PC. There wasn't even a way to DL the folders with all their contents; I had to DL each and every one, one at a time.

Steer clear, and good luck.

Good to know, I actually only tried it once but have since moved to D-H.ST as my main source of uploading, well that and my box, dropbox, accounts
[Xperia Play General] cyrusalmighty:
Thanks for sharing! Can I ask a question though, Do any of these cloud services not have a upload size file limit on a free account? I think dev-host says 512mb and CX has a 200mb limit and mediafire also had some limits. I don't remember Box or Dropbox, but are there others(free accounts)?
[Xperia Play General] wuby:
Dropbox or Box hasnt got any limit, except the space your storage. Btw, if you install Box on your Xperia, you will get free 50GB space :)
[Xperia Play General] Lordomn:
If I'm not mistaken box does have an upload size limit (100mb) for free account...but its been a while since I've tried. that was also from the app.

Hey guy's I'm new to the forum and was wondering if there is any easy ways to unlock, root and install clockwork recovery using a mac computer? Everything I find online is for using a windows pc. I'm currently using snow leopard is and updated my sensation to ICS. Please help with info not negative feedback! I know I'm a noob, I have no shame in that. Thanx.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi welcome, I've also done a search on rooting with mac and found many questions with few answers as you know.it might even be easier if no one has any clear answers for you to borrow a friend's windows computer and to root that way . It won't take that long and will be a whole lot easier for you. I'm truly sorry I don't have a clear answer but I wanted to offer this solution. If it were me, this is what I would do. I wish you the best and if you don't find a definite answer, this could be a option for you. Good luck. Keep us posted on what you decide to do.

Widgetsoid for example only opens the settings menu, no direct switching.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Ok I've been running hotwires oc kernel set at 1.86 on the performance govenor for weeks without any issues. This morning I switched to the pegasusq govenor and my phone got really hot after heavy use ( about 3 hours). Now it will start and take me to my home screen, and allow me about 10-15 seconds of use before restarting. It's been in this was for about 2 hours.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
switch back to your previous governor......

Clearly the gov. your using is not stable, and not all settings inside of the kernel will be....

And slow that crazy phone down !!!...she's cookin man !!.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
the problem is I don't have enough time to get into rom toolbox and switch the governor....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
reflash rom then
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Ah I see ....

Well then ....if that 30 seconds of work is too much, then I guess you'll be stuck with boot loops and overheating issues .

Enjoy that ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
What I'm saying is I can get into Rome toolbox but it shuts down before I can get to the cpu slider

Thanks Jay, re flashing the rom worked.

And while it isn't important to the forum ....I posted in anger after finding out that my neighbors son had fallen from a pool diving board onto a concrete pad 12 feet below.

Critically injuring himself..

A bad day for all ...and I took it out on you ....I'm sorry brother.....g
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] edufur:
I finally made the switch (from 3d to Samsung S3) and loving the easy unlock. I found myself wondering though how the HTC folks were holding up with the LTE? Are you all fully unlocked? Or is it a psuedo unlock like they did on the 3D (hboot 1.5)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I believe if you have the original hboot, you're fully unlocked (not as free as s-off, but good enough to do almost anything most users do). I have read that the new hboot that came with the OTA has limited your abilities in terms of flashing things when you HTCdev unlock the phone. That new hboot may be comparable to the one you speak of on the 3D. I can't accurately say, since I never owned one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Well we have full s off if people were smart enough to not take the OTA
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
+1 on this and i havent heard of anything like that with the new hboot from what i know (which isnt much lol) you still have all capabilities as you did prior to ota with the htcdev unlock which was pretty much the same as s-off and nothing like the nightmare of 1.5 on the 3d although i was lucky enough to not get that but no a few unfortunates who did my wife included lol

Tux approves of my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] edufur:
I honestly think that the best way to make HTC listen to its customers is to leave them completely and send the message that we won't come back until they make them as unlockable as the Samsung's. We don't have to worry about the hboot s-on/off concerns in the Samsung world.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Most users arent rooters, and HTC would probably not even notice the drop in sales.

End result=no change

I'll take my HTC build quality with S-OFF
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EricSS619:
Word, got my phone in July and am soff just like my EVO 3d was
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Well they haven't really had a good year income wise, not saying it has to do with people "boycotting" them but they can't afford to lose more customers. If Samsung is this open with their phones, that's competition and HTC better step up.

Also their attitude needs to change "multitasking is working as intended" in regards to the One X customers asking for a fix. It's obviously broken and it needs to be fixed. Don't play it as a feature and if they really intended into kill apps like they, don't call it multitasking.
