[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Firegrill:
Is there any difference between the T-mobile Galaxy S2 T989 and the Telus Galaxy S2 X T989D?

Does the 'D' change anything, because I know that the GT-i9100 and the GT-i9100M are exactly the same.

Can the T989D flash the same roms and kernels and root using the same methods as the T989?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Eks Dee Aye:
Did a little searching and they both seem to have the same Chipset/CPU/GPU and support the same exact frequency bands as far as data is concerned, so my best guess would be that they are virtually the same device. Saw a couple of other threads where other people tended to agree as well. The weight of the TMOUSA sgs2 is more than its Canadian counterpart which lead some to believe that the Canadian version doesn't have the gorilla glass that the US version possesses. Hardware-wise they are same (99.9% sure) so flashing and rooting procedures should be the same. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
Exactly the same devices. It basically how the carrier chose to name it. Telus/Koodo named to the Galaxy SII X T-989D while T-Mobile named it the Galaxy S II T-989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
I had a choice to choose one of them. Only difference is that T-mobile ones have their carrier name on top of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
Haha that's why the T989D is a benefit :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] balla786:
The Telus version comes with less bloatware. But in the end if you're rooting and installing custom roms, it won't matter.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
You know how we can increase 4G's acceptance signal to establish a connection to a weaker broadcast. Can we do the same thing for WiFi?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
It's not the same thing, but the "best wi-fi performance" option in the advance settings (from the menu button) of the wi-fi configuration may improve your wi-fi connectivity as it did for users in this thread, starting with post #10. As the warning says, it will also decrease your battery life by consuming more power for the radio.

A good tool to analyze your wi-fi configuration and performance is WiFi Analyzer, ad supported from the Play Store.

I would use something else, that is deodexed 4.2

[HTC Rezound] jldeitch:
All --

My wife's Rezzie got stolen the other night, and we need to get another phone this weekend. Don't want to spend more than $199 (we'll utilize an upgrade). That limits us to:

Samsung S III

Moto Razr HD

LG Spectrum 2

Moto Razr M

And, of course, another Rezzie for $50. Low cost is a factor, but we don't want to get stuck with older technology, either. We do root our phones, which may rule out the Spectrum 2 -- I can't seem to find any root or dev support for the phone. The HTC DNA looks terrific, but is really big and will need a few weeks to be rooted.

Open to suggestions on which way we ought to go.

Much appreciated...
[HTC Rezound] mclass55:
How about the incrediable 4g, they just now got root
[HTC Rezound] anubis2k3:
I'd say the DNA if you want another HTC phone. Even though root isn't possible right now, patience will prevail with this phone. I'm not a fan of Motorola and usually feel the same about Samsung, but the s3 is just too damn sexy.

So my vote is DNA or S3.

BTW, have you tried using Plan B to find your wife's phone?
[HTC Rezound] richii0207:
Realistically speaking, its never going to be a rooted phone since its your wife's's phone. I would say either the razr M because its DURABLE or the S3 due to its "wow" factor. But if your tight on money, why not another rezound?

If it was my girlfriend, I would let her play with the phones at the store and let her decide.
[HTC Rezound] moeduss:
I would go with the htc DNA, and I would either put plan b or avast antivirus with anti theft on it so I could retrieve my phone or at least render it useless to the losers that stole it.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Do you know his wife or are you just making a sexist presumption about all women?

I would stick with a phone that has a removable battery and an SD card slot since it seems that makes all this rooting etc. easier and also because you can put in a 64gb card and have tons of music and podcasts on it. I had to replace my Rezzy without an upgrade option or insurance or warranty (cracked screen) and opted for buying a used Rez. I know I'll be happy with this for a few more years, but I don't have that need to always have the latest technology, especially when it's already so good on phones, and I would have lost my unlimited plan. I did play with the GS3 and it's pretty nice. I prefer an LCD screen though as I'm planning on keeping my phone for a while and I've read about the Super Amoled screen degrading over time.

So also depends on how long she might be keeping the phone and if you will be losing an unlimited plan as well.
[HTC Rezound] richii0207:
Well for one, hes posting on these forums instead of his wife. I am talking based on a simple observation, never said "all" women. Plenty of wormen are on these forums but I am not here to argue.
[HTC Rezound] Phaded:
The DNA has root.

Doesn't have S-Off.

As for new phones, removable batteries and sd card slots will be rare.

Also, put avast on your phones.
[HTC Rezound] jldeitch:
Went with a SGIII

Thanks all for the suggestions. We had to get a phone quickly, since we'd frozen my wife's line as soon as we realized the phone was stolen and not lost. Both of us needed our phones for business, and we were about to head out of town.

That took the DNA off the table right there. It wouldn't be available until after we left, and VZW insists on shipping Web orders directly to our house. No one by our names there to sign for it until next week (we have a house sitter). Plus the DNA is just too big.

Also looked at the Razr M (screen too small) and the Razr HD (screen the same size as the Rezzie, but phone much larger). The SGIII is only marginally larger, but the screen is much bigger -- easier for our middle aged eyes.

The local store had the Rezzie in stock, but they wanted $200 for it. Online, it's $50, but the same delivery problem would be there that we'd have for the DNA. Not worth that much money for a year-old phone.

No devs support the Spectrum 2. Plus it's huge. No go.

In terms of features and newest technology for the price, that left us with the SGIII. So far so good. It has its quirks, and we swapped out the launcher immediately. But the initial overall impression is good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

I've been wanting to get my hands on a OBD-II scanner to check out my car and have with me when we are out car-shopping in the next couple of months.

looking at the play store, I think I want to get Torque Pro as the software, but i'm wondering what hardware to get. I don't mind it being wired, micro-usb. don't need fancy bluetooth or wifi scanners. i just want it to be good but not overly expensive.

any recommendations?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
if you get something setup can you please post your setup?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lancerz:
This is all you need along with the torque app. It's the exact one I'm using.

http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=160902041473
[Galaxy S III Accessories] getrdy:
I'm using it and its working gr8!! Make sure your car supports obd2 before you buy it and the guy from torque app recommended good warranty from the seller. I'm assuming they break easily.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ming3r:
Just as a heads up...if you plan on using it for logging, the bluetooth ones typically read pretty slow. If it is just for code reading, that is pretty decent.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
wow that is awesome. and so cheap. I'm really only looking for reading codes so I can spot those issues when shopping for cars and whenever I get a check engine light. my mechanic is a close childhood friend and he's got the $5000(+?) computer + scanner setup but i want this for smaller things so I don't have to bother him all the time.

I'll get my hands on these and report on how it works.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jcantol:
I paid close to thirty over two years ago for that same unit and I don't regret it at all.... works great. the torque app is one of the better if not the best app keeping up to date. I highly recommend this set up
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
why did I think this would be a several hundred dollar set up?

anyways, I'm hoping it's good. already ordered mine with expedited shipping. i'll wait to get torque when I receive the hardware.

thanks everyone!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] brickbeats:
I also can confirm that bt obd2 scanner and torque work great on my sch-i535 with jb
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cerobles1:
Is there something like this but to read RPMs and fuel compsomtion on real time or something like that?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lancerz:
This can read rpms in real time, and a lot of other things. I'll take some screen shots when I head out later.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ponyboy82:
are there any bluetooth obd-II readers that *don't* work with the GSIII? I was looking at a different one, so just curious if there was a certain type to stay away from.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kitinas:
I have this one: http://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/obdlink-bluetooth.html

It's worked great for me so far. Other than some PIDs not pulling because Ford wants to use proprietary codes, it's pulled everything I could want. I've used Torque, DashCommand, and a few other apps I can't remember right now, with no problems.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Fallon:
I'm happy with mine, the little I've used it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
This one has some good reviews, too:

http://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products...mpatible/dp/B005NLQAHS/ref=pd_bxgy_auto_img_z
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
Lets be clear. the BT OBD2 has no limits. its a "dumb dongle"

the "intelligence" is in your car and in the software you run.

Torque will read just about anything SO what "YOU" can read is dictated by what the manufacturer of your car elected to make available over the ODBII data pipe.

fuel air and rpm are usually available.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
that makes it sound even better. awesome. can't wait to get mine. should be here monday.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mena2871:
I actually just got the bafx scanner and bought torque pro. Its pretty nifty stuff and not a bad price.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Covart:
Yep, I have the same setup. Works perfectly. The Dev for Torque also updates regularly, so he is staying on top of new cars.

And any US car made after 1996 is supposed to have an OBD-II connector, usually located under the steering wheel near the fuse panel (for most cars made in late 90's at least.)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] waiters:
Looks like fun! That ebay link doesn't list 02 Toyota camry but I know it has a obd2 port.. Maybe it's just not listed?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] roylee01:
you can also buy this one. It's very compact.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Carlrobling:
Heres mine. Same as the one i quoted. Works great. I attached pics that show its status and what sensors I can use. Im using it on my 2013 Subaru legacy. Im going to try it on my 2008 honda civic tomorrow. And im using the torque app
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
I have the torque app and the torque scan with the bluetooth dongle 1.5v. Works great. as a matter of fact, i sold my scanner i bought from autozone and kept this instead. WAAAAAY more features. It does have some lag (1sec) like mentioned above but still pretty accurate as far as mph, rmp, temp, etc.. i dont really use the mpg feature so cant comment on that. But its really nice, you wont regret it. If u do get it the pairing code will be 6789 just fyi. So for about $15 (app+dongle) its a really good deal. You can use the free version of torque but will be missing out on alot of good stuff. Best $5 ive spent so far lol.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] waiters:
Just got my blue tooth thing. Setup app.. This is nice.. Always wanted to check my mpg! Also. Don't need to spend time taking my old car to a dealer to see why my check engine is coming on! I'm sure it does other cool stuff.. Will figure it out soon :)

What do real odb scanners do that this doesn't.. Like the 10,000 dollar ones mechanics use?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mattsternc:
This is the exact one that I have. It works great with my GS3 & Torque. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] waiters:
That's the one I got also
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Well the mechanic quality one go deeper into the system, pinpoint a mismisfe etc, they can see more details of how the car is running. With the dongle u can only see so much and basic stuff. Plus the 10k machines have abs&brake trouble shooting and transmission diagnostic aswell. A lot other stuff.

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] waiters:
Need to steal my obd scanner back from my mechanic friend... Grrrr lol.. He loved it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] manoella:
you can see if obdcheap.com sell what you need

why not see the obd2 online shop obdcheap.com , maybe you can find what you need
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AverageCanadian:
Just got mine in the mail today. Too cold to throw the scanner on my car tonight, but I can't wait for tomorrow :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FiveOhFox:
Boy I wish my car was new enough for an OBD scanner... LOL!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
How old is your car? I thought the obd scanners were introduced back in the 90's?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
obdII was introduced in the late 90's. but not everyone has a car from the late 90-onward. (I have 1 from the OBD 1 days..and one that is OBDII, and while I use the scanner on my 2001, it would be more useful on my racecar..it is a 1993)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
all cars sold in the US from 1996 onward should be OBDII compliant. some (VERY FEW) late 1995 cars may be as well (very few)

also I don't think this applies to all diesels. not sure on that one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZ_Nitro:
well it works a treat!!

got to work and I had used 1.2 litres of fuel

[Galaxy S III Accessories] seanpr123:
Sorry to bring this back up but looking for some help.

I have the Amazon one listed as well, and everything works great on stock but I can't get Torque Pro to connect on any AOSP rom (switched to AOKP 4.2.2 last night).

Anybody else have this problem?

I've read the free version usually works in this situation, but have not tested yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
It only works in some of the 4.2.2 ROMs. AOKP Task650 is not one of them. LiquidSmooth and Rootbox both work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RepairLync:
Looks like some people have mixed in questions about compatibility, in case a search is done....

OBD-II was introduced on passenger vehicles in 1996. So your 1996 vehicle is mostly likely to have an OBD-II port, which the Bluetooth readers should be able to work with.

OBD-I was 1995 and into the 80s, which was a limited data set of diagnostics and data.

The BAFX scan tool is very nice and has been working for me for a while, without issue. The very cheap scanners may also work, but sometimes there are ones with issues and can't connect to diagnostic apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarnok:
I've noticed an issue with my S3 (32gb) ever since upgrading to the latest vodafone uk stock rom. Over time, all of my free space on the internal SD card gets consumed by something hidden, even though I only have a little over 2gb in use, the whole thing is full, I've included a screenshot, to show what I mean. If I move or delete things then in a few hours that space will be consumed as well. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarnok:

Hello all

I recently got myself this HTC One s for T-Mobile. The phone is unlocked because i tried another gsm chip and it worked just fine.

But the real issue is that i cannot have 3G on my phone. Even tho Orange and T-mobile operate with the same bands.

I did get 3G when i tried my phone with another chip from other company that operates with the same bands as AT&T.

Has this happened to any one?

i dont cannot just move to the other mobile company..

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One S] beats4x:
An unlocked gsm phone will work, but will not have high speed web unless the recently refarmed 1900 spectrum is live in your area.

Hit the thanks button if I helped :D
[HTC One S] lagarto:
If what you say its true, then maybe my phone is not unlocked? How can i tell if its unlocked?
[HTC One S] beats4x:
Let me ask you this, did you get a Tmo branded phone and are trying to use it on Orange or the other way around? I was speaking for if you were trying to use an unlocked phone on tmo..

If I've helped hit the thanks button :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SSD4130:
So my little sister dropped her phone in water the other day. It used to not power on whatsoever, then today I tried to turn it on and it sits at the HTC logo screen, nothing further. I can get it into the bootloader, but the recovery doesn't seem to load either. The bootloader is also locked. She didn't sync her contacts/calendar with Google properly, and has a lot of things she needs off of her calendar, so I'm wondering if there's a way to get this information seeing as I can't get onto the phone.

Any tips or suggestions would be greatly helpful, thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
If the hardware is damaged and nothing is backed up, you may be out of luck. Don't know if you've tried this yet, but pull the battery and leave the phone and battery in a sealed ziploc bag full of uncooked rice for at least 24-48 hours. After removing them, clean the contacts on the battery and phone with a pencil eraser, pop the battery back in and give it a try.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SSD4130:
It's in rice right now, I'll leave it there for a day and try my luck out. She tried turning it on last night and it powered all the way on but the touch screen wasn't working. Are there actual file backups of the calendar and such that I could copy off of her phone on my computer if I need to?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phreezex:
The water will corrode copper and metal contacts over Time.. I just revived a laptop main board that got beer spilled alll over it and did nothing by submerging it in 91% rubbing alcohol.. it cleans and evaporates fast! Not joking, just dry in front of a fan or such

But if chips or hardware are borked, ur s.o.l
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
If the touch screen doesn't register touches after taking it out of the rice, it may be just that the digitizer needs to be replaced. If you are fairly competent with electronics and have a set of precision screwdrivers, replacing the digitizer is something that can easily be done for a fairly affordable price. You can buy the parts on Amazon or eBay, find a tutorial video on Youtube, and do the job yourself for less than $20.

[Transformer TF300T General] ramy_Maia:
Earlier this year i got an ASUS TF101, I was treating it so gently OTA stock updates without any missing around and just after couple of months and after updating to ICS ... (Many people reported having random reboots with ICS, but my problems was worse) It got stuck at the ASUS logo with no progress what so ever, I had to make tens of trials: different ROMs, cold reboots, restores, .. etc to get it to work again, and within a couple of days randomly and out of the blue it gets stuck again ... The bottom line it was bad, nasty experience.

I haven't been following the TF300 threads, so the question is .. Do people get similar issues with the TF300, random reboots, random sys crashes, ... etc
[Transformer TF300T General] DerangedLoofah:
IMO don't get the tf300. Get the N10. More powerful, and I think a better company to deal with. Asus has been trouble for a lot of people, and I know I am sick of the tablet. The Tegra3 isn't everything I had hoped for.
[Transformer TF300T General] karlr30:
Like you, from TF101 to TF300. I have no problem with my TF300. Working perfectly.
[Transformer TF300T General] almostinsane:
+1 to this. Just dont buy it.
[Transformer TF300T General] dragonnn:
TF300T - dock keyboard +, if you don't plan to buy go to N10.

Sent from my unlocked ASUS TF300T
[Transformer TF300T General] qwahchees:
N10 has one thing that'll one-up the TF300 and even the 700. And by reading this, you probably already know. 300dpi.

But, that was exactly the reason why I didn't get the TF700, and won't get the N10. High-resolution screens.

Sure, they're real nice (reaaaal), but what apps are optimized for it? There aren't even that many Tablet Apps for Android, yet 2560x1600 or 1920x1080. 1080p being the more reasonable one. The n10 fragments apps completely, starting a new line of high-res apps that most likely won't be followed up for a year or so.

So if you want apps to look optimal, TF300 is the way to go.

Sure, I/O will hamper it. But nothing a bit of tinkering can't fix. Mine runs smooth :P
[Transformer TF300T General] DevilBunnies:
No problems whatsoever with my tf300. And it has a micro SD slot, if you plan on using a lot of storage. I like the N10, but decided that the card slot was a must for me, and the screen resolution is adequate for what I do. And I've had good experience with Asus support for the most part (including replacing the video card and mobo on my G51) on the laptops/netbooks I have owned from them. YMMV.
[Transformer TF300T General] skr_xd:
Very bad IO speed with all latest Asus Android tablets.

Go for Note 10.1 or Nexus10.
[Transformer TF300T General] NRGZ28:
WTH are you guys recommending other tablets doing in this forum anyway ? LOL Sounds like you miss your TF300s. ASUS tablets are great. If you like the Nexus better.. go hang out in those forums.
[Transformer TF300T General] skr_xd:
Meaning less post.

Some of us recommending new generation of tablets released after TF300.

Is there any rule in xda like what you said? Or do you own xda?
