Hello I have a question. I just got a Samsung Skyrocket i777. It's the first Android phone I buy. I had an iPhone before.

I've noticed the volume in my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket is low. Is there something that works? I've already searched the forums, and I keep getting different answers. Some say to get the Fiio E5, and others say to try Volume+ or Voodoo LOUDER. What would you recommend? I wouldn't want to carry the Fiio E5 around.

My AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 is unlocked, and I'm using it with T-Mobile. I'm on EDGE speeds, and have searched the forums for info regarding what modems to try. I keep reading that the Blaze 4G LB7 worked on this version of the S2, and others are saying they doubt it would work with T-Mobile because the AT&T version of the phone has exinos in it. I keep reading different things everywhere, and that's why I decided to make this thread. I have been searching. I tried this modem, but it doesn't give me any signal and it doesn't recognize my sim card. It says IMEI is unknown, and now I'm back to a stock modem. I've tried other modems, but it doesn't even change anything. Am I doing something wrong? I've installed these modems with CWM. What modem radio is stable and has good battery life? I don't care if it's just 3g speed as long as it's faster than EDGE.

You don't even know what device you have. You have an s2 i777. NOT A SKYROCKET. Had you searched you would have found that you can't get anything more than edge on t mobile

Trade your i777 for the T-Mobile variant. Other than that, as nick said, edge is all you'll get.

Hmmm. I did search, but kept getting different results in every page. I bought the phone on Craigslist, and I kept seeing ads that said the i777 was a Skyrocket. I know people don't even know what they are selling sometimes, but I saw it twice. I assumed it was the Skyrocket. It makes sense now why all the things I tried didn't work.

:/

So is there something I can do about the volume? Would you recommend paying for Voodoo LOUDER or getting the Fiio E5?

Do u have a galaxy s ii sky rocket I 727 or a galaxy s ii i777?!

I thought the i777 was the Skyrocket because of Craigslist and eBay. I see I was wrong. I have the Samsung Galaxy S II i777.

Be very sure which one you have before you mess with it or you will have a paperweight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
More than likely, you were suckered into buying the phone believing it was a skyrocket. Not a big deal, you got the better phone!

It won't be faster than EDGE unless you happen to be in a market where T-Mobile is rolling out 1900mhz spectrum.

Review this thread and Google "T-Mobile 1900"; there are a ton of results about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
This. The people here are incredibly knowledgeable (if you exclude me, that is :D ) and i have yet to see an unreliable post that wasn't immediately discredited by three people at once.

Regarding your phone, the easiest way to tell which phone you have is the form factor. The skyrocket is slightly "rounder" along the edges but, more important, it is also larger. The skyrocket is slightly MORE than five inches tall, the 777 is slightly LESS than five inches tall. Just measure how tall your phone is. Or go into any at&t store and compare your phone to the skyrocket they have on display.

It just occurred to me that he may have the galaxy s ii made for T-Mobile ...

Was thinking that as well but he did say skyrocket. Check the area under the battery I think it should say there

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
At the risk of stating the obvious, if it is a 777 or a skyrocket, wouldn't it have the AT&T logo imprinted on the face of the phone, at the top? If he had a t-mobile phone it will not say at&t :confused:

Hi there for all the people that are into football .

As where google offered live scores and cards in google now for baseball and mostly american sports it now offers for international football teams!

Got a card yesterday while search Barcelona v Madrid and with scores and everything. Now it's even listed in my teams under Sports > teams in google now.

Thought i'd share it with everyone

(hope i am posting in the right section)

It has listed my MLS (US soccer) games since day 1. Its quite annoying though that the icon next to it in the notification pane is a baseball... doesn't really make any sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0utkast:
Yes same here with baseball icon...:eek: . But as far international games never showed up no matter how many time i searched their name, till recently

It's weird, I've asked Google Now for phillies scores almost every night, and it still won't show me a card. It's too bad there's no "dashboard" for these sort of things.

I found this issue also and had to search in chrome as none of my Google Now searches were showing in my search history.. don't know if this can be enabled..search in chrome logged in and then see does it appear

does anyone else's scores show a baseball as the icon in the notification tray though?

its weird because when i tested it with an mls team previously, it showed a soccer ball on the notification and within google now, but for EPL or La Liga, its a baseball in the notification tray and no icon on the card itself in google now.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] phoenixbennu:
So I am a gamer, of all sorts, and I like using tech to my advantage in gaming. Until now I had to mainly use a laptop, as my a500 was not quite up to the task of doing everything I need.

With the Note it is definitely a great deal better. Even been able to annotate character sheets.

So, with so many free and paid gaming apps out there, I was wondering if anyone had their favorites, suggestions, or comments, or anything at all to say about gaming apps.

For me, dicebox, pdf readers (iannotate, ezpdf, repligo, and others), and graph things like antipaper and lecture notes, and other dnd apps. My big thing is for reading pdf books and character sheets.

EDIT: Keep in mind, I am, as Magnesus pointed out, talking about tabletop games. Like DnD, Cthulhu, Marvel, Conan, GURPS, munchkin, and others.

There are many apps out there that are on the market for use, but I am curious who has found a good specific app or combo of apps to use.

Hi,

I have an Epic 4G Touch and I have rooted it and I know there are a bunch of launchers out there. And if it wasn't for the fact that I am a "noob" I would ask this under the ROM I'm interested in...but seeing as I can't here I go...

I know there are many many many launchers and I was wondering which one is the best? And if TWLauncher is the same as the stock launcher that came with the phone before rooting it?

Thanks in advance :p

I recommend APEX Launcher, its great!

[General Questions and Answers] freshbooy:
Go launcher
[General Questions and Answers] Foreverme89:
I suggest either Apex or Nova launcher prime.

I bought Nova Launcher prime and was using that with my HTC amaze and One x until I switched to my galaxy s3 and started using wicked sensations ROM which employs Apex and I am happy with it.

I hated Go Launcher. It seemed like it had a ton of custom stuff like the go sms, go store, widgets, etc but it really just got in the way for me personally.
[General Questions and Answers] universeman:
I am very happy with Nova Launcher prime. I like the customizable gestures it has, as well as the effects for screen transition. Another nice feature is the ability to put swipe gestures on dock bar apps. On my phone, if I tap the phone icon, it opens up the dialpad. If I swipe it, it brings up my frequent contacts. It's pretty awesome.
[General Questions and Answers] ItzCrooK2UxD:
I use Nova Launcher Prime unless I am using a CyanogenMod ROM in which case I typically use Trebuchet. Nova is fast and feature rich and very easy to customize. The only downside to Nova is that you must be using Android 4.0 or better so no Gingerbread support.
[General Questions and Answers] universeman:
Cyanogenmod does exist in two 4.0+ flavors though. There is CM9 which is Ice Cream Sandwich(ICS/4.0.x) based. There is also CM10 which is Jelly Bean(JB/4.1.x) based.

I used to run AOSP JB (_thalamus kernel) with every possible sync turned off (except contacts, calendar and browser) so as to maximize Deep Sleep.

I had Google Location off, location reporting off and a weather widget with a manually set city. I had deleted Talk and had no 3rd party maps app installed.

My phone would sleep great overnight (-6%) and then every time i left my house it would drain insanely (-20% per hour) without being used.

Have you try running Better Battery Stats to pinpoint what has been devouring your battery?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Are you online via 3G mobile data? That's a huge battery drainer. Try switching to 2G only mode especially if you don't plan on doing some hard core browsing. Or better yet, turn off mobile data and switch to 2G mode when possible for maximum battery savings.

Another thing you can try is start from a clean install, with only the ROM and all the system apps that came with it. Disable the apps you don't use, like GoogleNow for example, then add your favorite apps one by one, and see what is causing more than normal battery drain.

How to disable Google Now?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinuvali:

Google Now was disabled, Location services were ALL disabled (including Latitude), i had no 3rd party maps apps, no google talk, no nothing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I used to have that. Disabled Google Now, logged out of Latitude (log in then out), Locations services w/ cell tower and gps disable and I used Autostarts app to disable ANY automatic start of Maps. No problem since.

Edit: Oh and that's nothing too crazy by the way. Not exactly a battery killer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinuvali:
It turned out to be 20% per hour only when leaving home (somehow the phone knew i was moving around and it just wouldn't have none of that). While sleeping, it would stay in deep sleep for 90-95% of the night.

I am not having any issues on ICS and it kinda seems cumbersome to use an app to prevent another app from starting, although i understand the idea.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I know. The last step might be extreme, but that's all I did to save myself. Otherwise sometimes maps would go crazy and just consume battery for no apparent reason.

Hi,

You mentioned everything but turning off your Data. I live in a horrible area with only 1 maybe 2 bars and it totally drains battery much faster.

I leave it off until i need it, plus I have everything off that you mentioned including Google now(it has its own settings which you can turn off as you are in the actual app)

IIm currently running DaXmax's JB Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1824381

and I have good to great battery life once I turned off everything like you did.

But I guess first try the DATA off issue and maybe it will help with your ROM

Or

try what other person said and run the ROM bare to see if its the ROM or an App you have that could be draining your battery

Good luck
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinuvali:
Considering that i'm not changing the radio when switching from ics to jb, nor am i having low bars on jb, i don't see how data could be the source of the drain. (nor am i willing to run a ROM without data).
