[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kvl19:
I already searched, but other threads seem outdated. So here is my question.

I just bought the S3, and I want to give my mom my S2, but she does not use data. I already called Att to add data opt-out to my mom basic phone. I will wait until this billing cycle end, then take her sim card and put it on the S2.

Some people say that if I got data pop-out then the phone will not be able to send or receive data, so ATT will have no way to check if it is smartphone or not, thus they will not force data. Is that true?

But ATT seems to be able to detect what phone you use even though you have data opt-out. The evident is when my mom changes from this phone to the other, the model of the phone will show on ATT account online. They will not be able to detect it only if the phone is Tmobile. So I think data opt-out will not work.

Have anyone try this before? Any success?

I was thinking about changing the IEMEI, but it is illegal. Is there any other way. I just dont want to pay $20 a month for something I do not use.

ATT will find out and slap a data plan on that phone, it may be a week, it may be a month but they will do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jthatch12:
The only way around all of this is by owning a smartphone before they forced you to get a data plan. If you never renewed your contract and got another phone else where I'm sure you would still be grandfathered in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Not sure if this helps or not but my son now has my old Captivate. His line does NOT have a data plan. He can ONLY get data (web pages, market, etc. when he is connected to WiFi). But his line DOES have a unlimited text plan and he can send and receive text with no issues. I am NOT sure about pics though as I haven't tried but I am guessing not since I believe it uses cellular data for pics. I was worried giving it to him since I DO NOT want to give him data right now. He is only 9 yo. So I was worried that ATT would try to add data to his line but it has been a few months and no issue yet. So I am not sure since the phone is no longer in contract or what. But no issues here.

I used to have a Samsung Focus, and then upgrade to the GS2. My wife's phone died, and so she is now using the Focus. She is not on a data plan. She just uses WiFi. AT&T does know that she is using a smartphone without a data plan (they mentioned it at one point) but they have not forced a data plan.

I would try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
They do force plans. Even if u don't use data. If u have a smart phone on att their rules say u have to have a data plan. Your case is an exception not the norm.

I'd really like working MHL, like tonight, I was wondering if flashing skyrocket jb kernels would potentially brick me, If so, recommendations for fixing mhl?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] born2gethard:
No skyrocket kernels won't brick. Go to their threads and read up. Oh, you'll need an auto rotate fix. And just keep in mind, the instigator kernel changes dont keep up with the JB roms in the herc section. So it may work, but may break something. Never know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yabbb:
Hmm. Well, installed the instigatorx kernel and rotate fix, mhl still didn't work and the screen flickered alot, and yes, I cleared both cache first. Help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] born2gethard:
Maybe the kernel doesn't support mhl. I'm not sure if you need a source or not since I'm not a dev.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
Was the kernel supposed to make it work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yabbb:
Yeah, it said it supported mhl, so...do any of the ROMs on here, regardless of android flavor support mhl?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
It sounds like the kernel supporting it is only half the issue. It's not a feature I use so I'm not sure which ROM would be best for it, but likely an older and more developed one would be your best bet.

The battery was too low and I didn't charge it at the night time. In the morning it was completely dead so plugin the charger, the orange charging light turned on once and after that it didn't turned on? Please help.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
If it is completely dead it always takes a few minutes of charging time before the orange light shows up. Don't try to power it up until it has had at least 30 minutes or so of charge time.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Did you flash CWM recovery?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Oh no. Somebody needs to delete that thread.

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Yep.
[HTC Rezound] t4terminal:
How do i fix it ? please help ... there's even no charging light even I plug it into the charger.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
If it has been on the charger for more than 30 minutes and no orange light, you need an external way to charge the battery.

When the battery is past a certain point, CWM prevents it from charging, which is why we don't use it.
[HTC Rezound] motodanr1:
did you try a battery pull?
[HTC Rezound] t4terminal:
Ok. Phone is charged now. what should I do now ?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
It is charged?

Stick it in the phone and flash amon ra recovery. Download it from the link in my sig and rename to PH98IMG.zip and flash in bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] t4terminal:
Yes, I took out the battery as well. Tried it after an hour as well.
[HTC Rezound] t4terminal:
How do I do that? Sorry but Im new to this forum. Can you tell me step by step? But how can I do it if the phone is not turning on?
[HTC Rezound] o0radryan0o:
This usally works for me. Hold the power button down as you are reinserting the battery. Was in the same situtaion where I half way through a warrenty replacement process when I figured it out.
[HTC Rezound] t4terminal:
Ok let me try if it works.
[HTC Rezound] t4terminal:
I tried it but it didn't work. Any other way around ?
[HTC Rezound] o0radryan0o:
If the battery was dead, it may take 20 mintues or more on a charger before you see a charging light. If the orange LED is flashing when you hit the power button, it means it does not have enough juice to power on. Make sure it is connected to a wall charger, and wait. If you flashed a rom incorrectly, you many have to pull the battery for about an hour before trying to reinsert it. Lastly, I also had a faulty battery initially and once replaced with a new one, worked fine.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
check this out its at walmart.

[HTC Rezound] carngeX:

[HTC Rezound] JeramyEggs:
When you did the battery pull, did you leave the battery out for longer than 5 minutes ? Sometimes the phone holds a charge without battery for a minute or two. I have had it happen to me,and if I left the battery out for like ten minutes,it would charge .
[HTC Rezound] texascfdad:
My wife's droid 2 did that, the only thing that worked was stripping a charger cord and taping the red and black wires to the + and - on the battery for about 30 minutes, forcing it to take a charge. After it had some juice in it, it would charge in the phone.

I just thought i would try this as im going on a bus trip at the weekend and my phone doesn't tend to have very good battery life but i just noticed if you have a USB OTG cable and plug your phone into it with it's standard USB cable you can charge your phone via USB with your Nexus 7

Probably a bit of pointless information but i thought i would just point it out incase anyone else was wondering this like i was :cowboy:

Handy little bit of info to have in a pinch for sure :)
[Nexus 7 General] android88:
That would be really cool if you could. The N7 has a 3900 MAH battery, right? If it does, it would be enough to charge a phone 2-3 times.
[Nexus 7 General] akbar26:
nah its only about 3300 or something, still should be enough for around 2 charges.

Could someone tell me why there is so much secrecy when it comes to android?

Most of the tools to root, and flash devices aswell as roms etc are given away for free but the source code is almost never available. Why is this? Im a developer my self and i would really want to for example help out with the nvflash stuff, and get a linux distro running on my tf700. The boot loader is unlocked, voided my warranty first day, but then im not able to find any docs, or any info on how to access the bootloader. And i find it strange that it cant be accessed because im on .30 firmware.

I have bunch of devices, like a damn korean lg x2 with different partion layout. Should be easy to make a working clockwork mod for it if the source was available.

Another thing that annoys me as well is the choice to host the files on dodgy filesharing sites, instead of for example sourceforge.

I just dot get it. can someone please explain?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdeutsch:
Hi all,

I bought my son a Motorola Defy+ which comes with Gingerbread 2.3.5 . Unfortunately it seems that this particular OS version cannot be rooted. So what I am looking for is what would be the process to, if not possible root it, at least install clockworkmod so then I would be able to install different ROMS. Even if the process involve "downgrade" the ROM to something else, I would be fine.

I already have experience rooting and installing CWM on many devices I have owned (Huawei S7, LG P500, Viewsonic GTab, Samsung S II) but for some reason this particular smartphone has been a headache and I am very confused on which would be the correct procedure for what I want to do.

If that's directed at me, I did try it, for a couple of weeks. It's a fact, the kernel NEVER allows the CPU to enter sleep mode. Airplane mode, turning off LTE, etc will not help. I've done that plus turned off syncing, GPS, and more and had 30-40% battery drop while I was asleep in bed.

Well nusense had practically all of the ics leak taken out and he is uploading a rebase from the desire s official build so well see how much better the battery life is. If you think about it. Liquid has been working on his build for like 5 or 6 months, maybe longer and nusense may actually surpass it soon in stability. It's almost just as smooth now.

Hello,

i rly need help now i messed this up.

Short story: I made some stuff which was logical to me but now i dont now further :D

I cant update to jelly bean.

My build number says now i have US Version Firmware, but my bootloader (when entering update screen) says it is WW.

So i tried Build.props from both devices to get the manual update working, all time saying my build.prop doesnt match!

With the released download updates for the prime i both tried the US- and WW Version of it just in case (which is pretty dumb i know, but nothing is working...)

In the microSD card he recognizes the US Version but after 10 seconds of waiting in the updatescreen i get the red triangle

If i switch to the WW Version he doesnt recognize it.

The Manual update, which i tried before, gave me build.prop errors which i tried to switch to differenz version, nothing working.

trying liveupdate i only get only no update available. On my first try i got the chance to download to 98% but then it failed. I tried reset and stuff but i got only no update again :(.

Plz help,

thanks in advance!!!!!!!! :))
