[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TearRoar:
I started this new thread to share the working APN settings and to start over new because I can confirm that this APN is working for me.

Sorry if this isn't pleasing to the admins, the old thread was getting too long to sift through, plus it has a bunch of information I couldn't use, because none of it worked for me.

My phone is now sending and receiving pic messages like a champ plus it has a very fast and reliable connection all across the board.

I'm on the ICS uclf 6 modem and here are the screen shots of my working APN settings I discovered last night.

If you do not delete the useless APN numbers your modem might be fighting for a connection between the three APN settings which we all know are horrible as is. Plus, I added the port 8080, but I used the T-Mobile US APN settings as a canvas to get started editing the APN.

PS. Be sure to click menu and save APN, otherwise it won't stick after you edit the APN.

Thanks for reading and I apologize if you view this as the wrong posting area or a double post. I am only trying to help. :]

[Edit] PS. A TMobile store rep said the reason you don't fill out most of the info it asks for is because the info is wrong and the modem struggles with the info verification. If it doesn't have to verify false info, then it will just send as intended.

[Another edit] PSS. I went to TMobile yesterday to ask why the APN resets itself sometimes when I power cycle my device, and he ended up asking me for my APN settings and said I saved him from having to process a return. Haha jeeze! And he was recommended to me by another sales rep in his store lolol

Thanks for reading!

Thanks now its sticking, but the ICS uclf 6 modem that you are using is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762308&highlight=kernel ? and what Rom are you using? thank!

The ROM I'm using is cyanogen mod stable, not the best battery life but it really is stable. http://get.cm

I noticed that if your phone seems to hit a dead spot and doesn't get a good connection all the sudden, you can try going to the APN settings and selecting the APN once more to make it force a connection again. Just click that little blue circle included in the screen **** to force the connection again.

Or power cycle the phone as a last resort.

Hi every one!can sb help me with my galaxy fit back key not working(after lock and then unlocking the screen it will work again for few times)?:confused:

Is there any app to increase it's sensitivity?

I think there is a problem with it's sensitivity.

I have rooted g-fit with cm7(android 2.3.7)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Rohit02:
wat steps did you follow while installing the CM7?

if the back key is working some times den u mite have not followed the correct way to install the ROM.

Even m using CM7 20121202 release everything is working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] ehsan h97:
Thnx for ur reply.but I had this problem since I had tw 2.3.4 stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Harpratap:
one way out of this is to use a rom that has soft keys (on screen buttons like in nexus)

AFAIK jana6,aokp and pacman has that feature..you can manually add this to ANY rom you like and use that.

Hi, a friend of me has got an Samsung S2, he did send me a MP4 that he made with his phone, but I can not view that MP4 file on my phone. Does anybody know if this is normal? Or what I can do about it?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madzix:
Maybe the S2 made the video in 1080p quality, and ur able to view it with addiotional software, like, mx player, but it laggs pretty alot. THe built in player doesn't play it at all.

So try mx player. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mosta_9741:
download mxplayer from playstore and if it cant play that video then maybe the video is corrupted (from my personal experience ive never seen video extension that this player can't handle)

here is its link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en

press thanks button if i help you :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Broken Puzzles:
You should try opening them with MX Player, if it doesn't work then it won't open on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Fonz1981:
Thx, tried it, lots of laggs. No other option then.

Thx for helping me out.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
You can try to change the rendering to S/W so it is not laggy. Although it decreased the quality of image though.

Hope it fix the lag
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mosta_9741:
actually s/w is usually better but ppl shall make sure they don't multitask with it so they get its full power :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
It is better for some decrease of quality. If you want to maintain the quality use the h/w some vids may lag a bit though
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovfors:
Hello!

I've stop using my Atrix since about 3 months ago, so I'm no longer in the game.

Any suggestions to what ROM should be used if one wanted to use XBMC only?

The phone will be constantly plugged in and will always have power. It would be great if the ROM supported video mirroring with hd playback and good decoding.

Any suggestions?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesummoner101:
I've used it on both CM7 and CM10. Personally, I didn't notice a difference. I did not try playing anything as I've no media on my phone, but was able to load navi-x and stream stuff fine. It was slow, but I think that was due to it being in beta.

I'm not sure, but I don't remember seeing "Audio over HDMI" option in CM7... It's nice if you have a home theater and want sound coming from speaker system and not just the TV.

Edit: As a side note, it was a pain to work with the interface on such a small screen. Have you considered something like raspberry pi and selling/donating the Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovfors:
well, I have considered selling it, but the digitizer has a dead stripe, so the phone doesn't really have any value. The raspberry pi is the next logical step if this doesn't work out!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesummoner101:
When I retire my Atrix, I will most likely turn it into a pseudo laptop since I bought a lapdock. They're pretty cheap, have you considered that alternative?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovfors:
I have a lapdock from the states, but I find it basically useless, since I haven't gotten swedish keyboard layout to work on it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzler:
snap

I have exactly the same scenario. I have an Atrix , unrooted, but the screen no longer works and its basically redundant. I have the smart dock and ideally would like too use it as a dedicated media player with xBMC and a remote, leaving it connected to my TV at all times.

Would appreciate it if you could share any success you have in setting this up.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PackMan55:
any progress?

I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my atrix.

Have you had any success using yours as an xbmc machine or did you scrap it for a pi?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snaaky:
I would also like to make my atrix into a dedicated XBMC box. I have a HD dock and would like to use it with the remote. I attempted to install the newly released xbmc for android on a gingerbread rom (Neutrino). I got a message that xbmc is not compatible with my device. I assume that it can work with an ics or jb rom. It works on my galaxy nexus. Any suggestions on which one would have the best support for hdmi output and hd dock?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marathamola:
I have CM10 Epinter JB and xbmc works on my phone. I have to open my player first and then xbmc app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pepper67:
Maybe its just me but the only things I want now in a phone are a huge battery (ala razr maxxx), expandable memory (16GB with no sd slot is a joke in 2012 with so much hd video and mp3s being twice the size they used to be), and some up to date google software. I dont need a quad core phone or more than 2GB of ram or 1080p resolution on anything smaller than a tablet. My galaxy nexus is still plenty powerful enough to do what I need it to now if only it could last all day and let me throw on 20GB of music.

I would love to see a version of the S4 or something that has no touch wiz and gets updates right from google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
We gotta dreamer over here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Battery technology is the same as its been for almost a decade. All they do is add mah. That's why batteries universally suck.

Sd is the past. It's slower than nand and just adds a fairly useless port to the phone. Hate to break the to you but neither of your requests are happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tikkalamt:
Totally agree, one for me too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
SD card slot isn't gonna happen, because Google wants you to use their online content services rather than fill an SD card with your own stuff. That's why they're selling the N4 for so cheap (in some countries...).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
thats not the reason.......

they said it is because it can be confusing to the every day user....where are pictures being saved? where are documents going? and i guess i can see that. i just wish they would let us choose to be "confused" or not.

but FWIW, i am completely content with my 32GB gnex...and would actually be ok with 16gb version as well as i have about 21GB free space. as long as i have unlimited data, i am OK with 16GB on a phone. its a little different on a tablt though, as i like watching videos on them more than i do the phone.

as for the big battery, its coming. just wait. although current phones are starting to be pretty good on battery. the Gnex is pretty bad, but even the S3 almost doubles our battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d.e.beatup:
I've been under the impression a large part of it is the costs of paying MS licensing fees for SD tech.

I've got unlimited data so with the exception if the few times I have no signal, the cloud works just fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colinjlyon:
I completely agree on this post. I just got two nexi and sold them both on eBay because I couldn't put my 16GB card in that has 14GB of music on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Sure, there are also issues with data being split between internal and external storage, but if you think the Play Store is not a factor at all you are delusional. Why do you think Google only offers the N4 with the rather pathetic storage options of 8 and 16 GB? They should have gone with at least 16/32, but they didn't, and I'm very certain that wasn't just a matter of cost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bishop12:
Honestly my biggest issue isnt that I dont have storage, but my carrier is giving me less data to use. Something has to give one way or another. Either we need to store things on our phone (movies music tv) or we can stream it. We cant have none the storage and none the data from the carriers the equation simply doesnt work. Personally I would rather stream all my content except most content streaming source's quality isnt good enough. If I want to listen to music from grooveshark I dont want some half assed mp3 rip; I want flac.

Naturally battery life is going to suck, although ive been able to make it bearable with the battery upgrade, a decent rom ( i run Xenon) and franco/lean kernel. Sadly this only makes it bearable though and thats spending how much time and effort right out of the box to make it that? total BS.

+1 SD card

I would just like an SD card so that when I'm flashing ROMs and totally bork my Nexus up, I can recover from the external SD card. The other day during a flash something went wrong and erased my backup images and backup ROM zips. I couldn't connect via ADB to push ROMs or use ODIN recovery. An SD card would've allowed me to recover in a few minutes vs a few hours. This especially makes sense, since a lot of developers use the Nexus devices. It would allow them to recover more easily or boot test ROMs from an external SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Developers and users who know how their device was meant to be recovered dont use Odin. They use fastboot.

People have to realize, for all that the device is, it is a Google device first than it is a Sammy device.

One more thing, if you couldn't use adb while in recovery, you didn't do it right. 100% sure.

To recover a Nexus, there's no need, AT ALL, for a external sdcard.

I don't understand why people feel the need to carry 20gb of music with them everywhere they go. You obviously won't even listen to anywhere near that amount of music in a day unless you keep it on the whole day, highly doubting that. Not trying to be rude but can someone who keeps that much music on their phone try to show me their point of view?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
SD cards... old technology man. Get up to date. Is cloud storage now. And huge data with prepaid how this phone is to be used since it is unlocked. The best carrier with the best deal. Use the cloud top steam your stuff. Only thing that needs to be fixed is Google drive to stream movies. At that, if you root and install flash you can use desktop site and stream your movies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
I would love to have an SD card. The cloud sucks. When u don't have fast internet in the area ur in, when trying to access pictures or videos from the cloud. Forget about it. SD cards are way better then the cloud imo. I can't store all my games data in the cloud. I have like 10 games I bought but I can't install them because they are about 2gbs a piece. Plus I still have some music, HD movies and photos. So if Google isn't going to give us an SD card. Which I know they won't. At least give us an option for a 64gb, 32gb version of the gsm galaxy nexus. I can live with 32 or 64gbs of internal memory. Then I won't need an SD card slot.

I listen to music all day at work while doing designs and I have wide eclectic taste in music.

I like being able to have multiple genres for what I'm feeling at the time.

that being said I only have about 7 gb of music but could easily have much more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killchain:
Anyone who feels serious about music should get a dedicated DAP instead of expecting a phone to do all the stuff.

Even the tiniest, most feature-less player would usually sound better than a phone and would go a whole week on one charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chickentuna:
I only want extra memory and I really don't want to rely on data to stream music, if data speeds are better in my country I would have considered it but the current state of mobile data in where I live sucks. It's much convenient for me to have my music on my phone.

Getting another player is not an option as I would rather not buy something that I already have. The nexus is more than capable of playing music with good quality and I have nice pair of headsets anyway. So i agree with the extra sd slot stuff or at least a 64gb option:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
No.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pepper67:
The obvious answer is so you dont have to change what music you have ever other day. The goal isnt to have enough for just the day.

I load up 20 gigs and dont have to worry about listening to the same stuff all month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:

Nothing you said makes any sense. Batteries have come a long way in the past 20 years! Besides, the point is not to increase the power or "add mah" ( since eventually we'd all by carrying tiny bombs in our pockets) but to increase power efficiency. A phone has better battery life because its more efficient, not because its battery is necessarily bigger.

As for your SD card statement, they use nand technology so I am not sure what your trying to get at since "nand" just has to do with the logic gate they use. SD cards are perfectly fine when it comes to a removable storage chip and are still useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Hoping the next nexus has battery life that can rival phones like the S3 and note2 or I might be tempted to switch to the *bloated* side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
Or get a Samsung Vibrant or Captivate and install a Voodoo kernel. Sony Xperia phones sound good as well, and usually have isolated headphone out. Nexus devices aren't going to get SD slot though. Galaxy S3 international version also have a good DAC. None of these have headphone output that rate as well as a real high quality DAP ofcourse, but very passable.

Get extended battery then if you dont mind the bulk.

I don't want to carry a brick in my hand just to have better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
A decade is half the 20 years you mentioned and I assure you very little has changed between batteries in phones now and the batteries in phones a decade ago.

SD is not "perfectly fine". It's ancient, slow and just adds one more unnecessary component to your phone. Not to mention having to factor in varying SD card speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kennypow3rs:
Why kill your phones battery? Just get an iPod or something similar. I have an older iPod (not touch) that has color screen and 64gb. Probably 2nd or 3rd Gen I believe (the white one that does video/music). I literally charge this thing once every 2 weeks. I never understood why people have to carry their whole music library with them on their phone. I mean I get it but I don't do it. I do have about 22gb of music on my iPod though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veshio:
Your missing the point. The point is that there is no need to just throw a larger battery in a phone and that's not the reason why phones get better battery life. And your statement about SD cards is subjective so there is no use debating it. SD cards in many ways bare use full and your claim about speed is not true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hack.causality:
I wouldn't mind the lack of an SD slot if it weren't for that !#*&$ dialogue box. The one that asks me if I'm sure I'm not an idiot. The one I see fifty times a day. The one that makes me quietly wish whomever thought up MTP gets burned alive.
