I'm not planning on it as it's pretty easy to tether the N7 to a 3g phone. Maybe if the connection is substantially faster. Or if a data plan is available through T-Mobile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JGKC9AYC:
I just traded my iPhone 4 for this phone which state in "About Phone" that it's an SGH-i777 running 2.3.6. OK, fine.

Before I traded, I did some checking to see the difference between the SII & the SII Skyrocket. I was under the impression that the SII was the superior phone after seeing the various nicknames for the Skyrocket. I then found out that since I needed the AT&T version, i'd probably have to get the Skyrocket. OK, fine.

Now here's where i'm confused. I went to this site & it showed the differences between the SII & SII Skyrocket. My phone has the camera shape of the SII, but has the writing on the back cover (Galaxy SII) of the Skyrocket. The front of the phone has the touch screen buttons.

What gives?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
You were looking at the International version of the SII. What you're holding in your hand is the US (At&t) version. Still superior to the Skyrockets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JGKC9AYC:
So I do have an SII & not a Skyrocket?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
Technically you don't have either of those. They are all SII's by name..but the i777 that you have is the one closest to the original international version of the SII (not the skyrocket). And to confirm, you do have an AT&T model phone.

Your phone - i777

original international S2 - I9100

S2 Skyrocket - i727
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JGKC9AYC:
OK...thank you.

I went to the accessories thread in this forum & found the case sale @ AT&T.

The problem now is this particular case.

The front of it is showing the one large button instead of the touch screen buttons. I guess it won't work for mine?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
The case doesn't cover the front of the phone, only the outside. So it will fit fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JGKC9AYC:
Thanks for the help, y'all.

Now I just gotta figure out if I made a good trade. :)

I do know, after reading a thread on rooting, that this phone hasn't been rooted according to the counter. So I guess my next step is rooting this puppy!

Must one go in graduated steps when rooting? I mean, do I have to go to ICS before JB?

Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jack_R1:
Wrong assumption, you should spend less time looking at fanboy posts. Some kind of inferiority complex in this forum, I guess - didn't see anything similar in SkyRocket forums. Using them both side-by-side you couldn't tell a difference, but once you fire the GPS - you would definitely wish you had SkyRocket. I have both, tinker with both, they're both great phones.

In any case, your confusion is somewhat understandable, given ~11 variants of Galaxy S2. But yes, you have i777 - so enjoy the ROM abundance of the international version with several extra clicks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
Your first step should be learning the difference in root and rom. They are not synonymous. You don't 'root' to another os or rom. Rooting gives you Admin rights. Nothing more, nothing less. It is not necessary for installing a rom or new firmware

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jack_R1:
I'd suggest actually using it "as is" for some time, getting yourself familiar with the system before you rush and change things. It'll also give you a better perspective on what you like and what you don't like and want changed, before you start exploring custom ROMs. It's not something that can be decided in a couple minutes of use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lekerstein:
In addition to what Pirate said, I would suggest spending at least 15 hours googling the terms, watching how-to videos, reading the stickies, and perusing the forum before you post any questions about how to root or flash (you flash a ROM, not root a rom) or why your phone is broken after you mistakenly flashed an i9100 ROM (there are special rules for flashing roms intended for the int'l version. Personally, id just avoid flashing them at all).

And to save you any possible embarrassment, NEVER use the word jailbreaking on these forums unless to tell someone else not to use the word, as I have just done. :) it's a common problem with ex-iPhone users.

Best of luck!

I went ahead & rooted using Odin3 One-Click Downloader.

I assumed everything went smooth since it stated the root passed.

After reboot, however, i'm unable to connect to a wi-fi network. I go into wi-fi settings & turn on the wi-fi. It searches for network for a few seconds, then the check box beside "Wi-Fi" grays out & it leads back to clicking to turn on.

Ideas?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eternalty:
Broken WiFi? Sounds like someone went to zedomaxs website. If you did, shame on you for using his stuff and expecting help here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JGKC9AYC:
No, "someone" hasn't been to any other sites than this one.

I was reading this thread & since I have "UCKK6", I followed the instructions in 2c. In those instructions there was this link to download the One-Click version of Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package plus stock modem from the development forum.

Seeing's how I got all the information from this website, I was assuming I could count on help here.

If i'm mistaken or downloaded something from this website that I wasn't supposed to, then I apologize.

Wrong impression.

You can't, as you wrote, "get the right kernel+ROM+modem to play well". ROM comes with a kernel that by default "plays well", and with modem that will also "play well". If you want to change it - you can, but you don't need to.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebbo90:
This is really annoying. You can play a video using HDMI out to a TV and it plays full screen, as long as it is from Google movies. However if you try and play a video of your own it isn't full screen. It is missing about 3cm each side. I can't work out why or how to change it as it has the ability to. Any ideas?

Thanks

Does it downscale the image to 1080p when you are in the UI? If not it might be that whatever app you are using is not yet set up for the N10.

I have had my Nexus 10 for about a week now and really like it. This YouTube issue is something that needs to be addressed. Ice Age plays full screen perfect 1080p smooth as silk. YouTube plays at lower quality in a black frame. It also plays on the tablet screen when plugged into HDMI to TV. Make the YouTube app perform like the Google Play app please :)

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykeeley:
I find that the youtube app won't go full screen when HDMI is plugged in, any solution?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swent:
I'm reading everywhere that ppl say it's not outputting fullscreen.

At the chance of being simply wrong: did you ever take into account that the usual TV with its 1080p resolution (1920x1080) has a 16:9 screen ratio but the tablet with its 2560x1600 resolution clearly has a 16:10 screen reatio.

So it simply does not match. If just mirroring what is seen on the tablet... it will always have those black bars on the TV screen.

Or am I just not understanding what everyone barks about?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SRCP:
The transformer it's also 16:10. It removes the bars and (no need for them on the TV) and voila. It also blanks the screen when watching videos. That's one area where the tramsformer is a lot better, but it's a simple fix. You know, I'm not picky but it really annoys ke that such a simple thing to fix has not been addressed. How can you test the HDMI and not notice that and at least give some basic options. That type of thing is inexcusable. Watch them never give us any options.

Movies

Is there anyone on 4.2.1 who can actually play Google play movies with hdmi out onto their TV?

Mine just stops at the "HDMI Screen" when I try to play the free ice age with a progress spinner in the middle, and other logs in logcat either that might explain the issue ( no logs at all). It's connected to my Samsung D8000 which is definitely HDCP compliant. I've never had it working. The film will play fine though when HDMI is not plugged in. It's really annoying cause I refuse to buy or rent films if I can't hook up to my TV.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thacounty:
Mine works fine hooked up to tv with Google movies. I have not tried it while plugged into the wall though.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adoute:
I have no problem watching movies or TV shows with the Google Play Movies app, connected to a 46" Sharp TV. Audio & video are fine. There is the occasional stutter, but nothing too bad. I've only played shows off battery - I haven't tried it while charging yet, though I can't believe that would make a difference.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Just tried again on my TV and on my computer monitors, all are fully HDCP compliant. It's either the tablet or the cable cause it doesn't work with any of those screens, just stops at spinner on HDMI Screen every time.

Unfortunately I don't have another device or another cable to rule out which is not the cause.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James086:
Audio works fine for me through the tv. AVI and MKV files work with MX Player and VLC beta. I do get the chopped sides due to the aspect ratio differing.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackDaws:
I can't believe I'm going to say this but the nexus 10 needs a presentation mode like the one on the blackberry playbook, the playbook rips the piss out of my nexus 10 for watching films on the big screen, no cropping issues and you can carry on using the playbook as normal while the film is playing or let the playbook screen sleep, I take it Google aren't going to add these features as this tablet has been out for a while now.......

What a disappointment!

I have just discovered that my Nexus 10 doesn't output real 1080p video through HDMI. It has black bars around and the image is smaller than what it should be on my tv.

This is one of reasons I bought it...

Is there a way to force the n10 to output full screen 1080p video? Perhaps a special player, or a mod?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
Apparently Google's own movie app can do it and a soon to be released version of MX Player. I have not read or heard of a generic UI full screen feature in any custom ROM.

Anyone know what I can do to get my TV to show in 720p instead of 420p?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
This issue is likely due to how the N10's HDMI to how the TV's HDMI port are communicating. The TV is interrupting the signal it receives and finding a compatible resolution. In your case that is 480p. If you can, take your N10 and the same HDMI cable to a different HDTV, see if you get a different result. Some HDTV's have settings for the screen resolution but I assume you would have already tried those.

Unfortunately it is likely you cannot get a higher resolution with your N10/HDTV combination. If you search the accessories forum for "HDMI" you will see various issues with specific HDTVs and their HDMI connection with the N10. From my own experiences this is a HDTV model issue and NOT a N10 issue. Simply put the HDTV manufacturers inconsistently implement the HDMI specification. This fact was recently mentioned on a Tekzilla HD Nation show.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackDaws:
On my other TV it works fine in 1080p, on the TV that doesn't work with the nexus 10 if I plug in my blackberry playbook I can choose any resolution the TV supports including 480p, 720p and 1080i so the TV is capable of doing so.

1080i is not the same as 1080p...

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackDaws:
What's that got to with anything ? Why cant I display in 720p with the nexus 10 but with my playbook I can? I don't expect to get 1080p from a TV that only supports 720p and 1080i.

Anyway get in here and complain and we might get some HDMI controls :)

Greetings,

I am having problem with my phone dropping BT connection every few minutes. My car (2005 Audi A6) detects, pairs, and connects to the car, but every few minutes the Bluetooth connection disconnects from my car. The connection is lost for about 30 seconds, then the connection is reestablished. I also get a brief muffled audio distortion from the car stereo (Audi stock stereo w/MMI interface). The problem repeats itself every few minutes. Phone is OK when using a Bluetooth headset. The problem started a few days ago. The only change was when the phone was updated to Jelly Bean via Kies on 13Nov2012. I did not have this problem when my GS3 was running Ice Cream Sandwich. Any help/constructive input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Here is my most recent issue -

The car's interface pairs and connects with no problem. The car's phone mode freezes when I try to call using the car's interface. The phone's bluetooth freezes as well. The only way to break the connection to the car is to shut off both the car and the phone. Once again, I didn't have any issues when the phone was using ICS. The problem I mention initially seems to have been addressed when I restarted the phone. Any constructive thoughts, ideas, or feedback?
