AW: The thing on every back phone

I think thats only on Samsung phones. On Htc Evo 3d it isn't...
[General Topics] ElephantThong8:
Never seen it in my life

I've an s3 and it doesn't have this
[General Topics] lars1216:
It's also there on my Samsung omnia w. But not there on any of my HTC's or LG's so think it's only there on older Samsung phones
[General Topics] zweideutigkeit:
No, i've seen it on many phones until now, on every Sony Ericsson k series, w series, etc., Samsung, Nokia.
[General Topics] iKoolkid:
Not being captain obvious here, but maybe it's a screw?
[General Topics] jctennis:
Those are for an external antenna. Every phone I have ever seen has one but sometimes they are hidden under a sticker or rubber plug. I don't exactly know what the practical use for one is though. I can't imagine anyone walking around with a wire sticking out of the back of the phone and an external antenna duct taped to the phone.

[General Topics] gator365:
I had one my Lg Vu, never really knew what it was, but I just assumed that it was something that the phone company used for diagnostics or something. The external antenna makes more sense though. I wonder if i could buy the equipment to use an external antenna on it. The coverage at my cottage is sporadic at the best, and I'm not there often enough to justify paying for a land line.
[General Topics] jd07bos:
It's the antenna
[General Topics] Hr Kristian:
You sure about that?
[General Topics] kindofabuzz:
The S2 skyrocket has two of them. And yes I do believe they are your antennas
[General Topics] zweideutigkeit:
I am really curious about this, and i never taught that so many people have no idea what is that.
[General Topics] bbrad:
Its a antenna you can put a peice of wire in it and you get better signal lol
[General Topics] zweideutigkeit:
That's even more curious, if you saw the first picture...how am i supposed to put an antenna under the battery?
[General Topics] BlackBacker:
its on Samsung phone. I think
[General Topics] Mike_NZ:
It's a connector (type FME) for an external antenna and is designed for use with a "car kit" that is permanently mounted in a car or some other fixed location. The reason it can be under the battery is that you take the battery out and the car kit base unit supplies power to the phone either from the car's power system or, if you've set it up at a fixed location, eg., at gator365's cottage, you would have a mains operated power supply for it.

It used to be a common feature on cell phones, but you don't see it so often now days.

I would not recommend just connecting a piece of wire as suggested by bbrad - it might be ok on receive, but an unmatched random wire antenna is not going to do the output stage any favours when transmitting and is likely to result in a dead phone - a high VSWR is bad for any transmitter.
[General Topics] bbrad:
I didn't recommend it I just said you could do it and receive better signal which you can and I didn't recommend just "sticking an price of wire in there
[General Topics] gregpxc:
Tempted to grab an old phone and stick a piece of wire in there to see what happens to signal quality. Now I just have to find an old phone!

I hear there has to be good combos to have best experience on Skyrocket with T-Mobile.

Right Now

ROM: CM 10.1 Nightly

Kernel: Moretz R1

Radio:UVLI4

This radio is good but I live in a area with amazing 4g and I only get 3g with rare chance of 4g and help? Anyone else with better combo?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jssingh:
You can try using the TMo Galaxy Note radio. It works very well for me. Here's the link:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
is the radio the one linked Here a few posts up? coz it is showing UCLI3 ATT, and I was on that one before. switched to UVLG3 but still showing "E" instead of H+ for 4g. pretty sure we have 4g here. speed isn't too bad though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You made a huge mistake switching to tmobile!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
There is nothing called "combo" when it comes to using Skyrocket with t mobile (and in my opinion it makes things worse as you might have to troubleshoot both sides radio and rom problems) ... It is just the radio that can be fine or not depending on the area , and in some areas now t mobile switched their data freq to 1900Mhz so even stock UCLF6,UCLI3 or UCLL3 can work , including 4G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
not my mistake. husband threw a fit about att and now we are all going to switch to something else. I opted tmo for myself, granted I should've bought a tmo phone and save me some headache. I'm stuck with Edge with no home WiFi. long story... I'm PO'd but in my marriage I pick my battles, fighting about mobile network is futile imo.

Even if it's not for you , but I must say I've been with the BYOD att SIM from ST now for a year and never had a problem, calls and data are exactly like when I was on att ....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Capt. Martin#30:
Okay, Well first I'm sure you know you must unlock your skyrocket which there is a thread in the general section than.

second I am on T-Mobile and I get 4g/h+ just fine. But you just have to flash ROMs ment for this phone and as for T-Mobile part just make sure you download radios that begin in UV which equals T-Mobile... I'm currently using UVLG3 and it runs perfectly. If you want I can provide a link for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
hello sir, yes I'm unlocked and have been since last year. I'm on Superlite CM 10 ROM and have been trying out UVLG3 radio for tmo. I haven't completely switched yet since I'm having problems with signal issues whenever I'm inside our work building. My husband will call me 6 times and my phone will only ring once. Upon answering phone, there's nobody there. I moved the SIM to a regular phone to see if it is the phone or just general bad signal from inside the building.

if you can PM me what specific ROM and Radio works.. i'd really appreciate it. I don't want to get this thread closed for asking about ROMs and such.... some people here are sticklers for rules :D

Whether it's by means of malicious intent, excessive trolling, a lack of memory, or just plain old not caring enough to pay attention...you just happen to be wrong. This, or something like this was all the rage back in the day....because it not only allowed for the Touchwiz launcher, and all the extra S3 goodies, but it also enabled access to all the stock touchwiz widgets, including obscure ones like the AccuWeather, digital clock, days, meetings, task list, and other ones. To my knowledge, this not be the exact .zip to flash, and it hasn't been tested outright with things like Crayon Physics, SMemo, and SNote. But It'd definitely be worth the effort.

So here it is: Touchwiz for AOSP ROMs. (Jellybean only, as far as I know...however, I can't see a reason it wouldn't work on 4.2. I also can't see a reason why it would.

Because they seem to have proliferated, you'll have to spend some time with our favorite pal Google The Search Engine. Don't even bother here, however. Since your clueless, and all, I'll tell you right away...the XDA search function is so hairy, it's unlikely to help you find anything unless you know EXACTLY what you're looking for. Simple topic and keyword searches will net you a cute case of tendonitis, and a days with the Carp O' Tunnel.

Here's another link to check out, it should give you the additional information that you're looking for. Just make sure you find a MOD, and not a ROM. Because if you flash a ROM, I can almost guarantee you'll soft brick your device. Your much more likely to find stuff for the International Note than find a mod for our Note specifically. Just remember , there were no ROMs like this made for our device, ever....so your looking for "MOD"s. And our device begins with the numbers/letters SGH-i717, also known as the ATT Galaxy Note.

I have Xperia U with 4.0.4 ICS and I tried to root it with each of these guides:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933985

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

But neither of them worked. Both failed at the point where I have to press "Restore" in the backup app. Once I did that it said in the app that there is not enough phone memory.

There is nothing about memory in these guides, and I couldn't find such a problem in Google either. I tried rooting when I have over 1 GB free phone memory, and I tried rooting when I have over 340 MB free internal storage. Every time the program used for rooting from the PC tells me restoration was successful, but doesn't say it got rooted afterwards. I used Root Checker app and tried Titanium Backup, both proved that I still don't have it rooted. :(

How can I root it then?

I downloaded the One More Clock app and got the rings (attached screenshot). :) The Motoblur'd theme apk is giving me grief trying to install via terminal emulator. It says [install_failed_invalid_uri] :confused:

I have to say this ROM is growing on me. It's pretty responsive. I do, however, get an occasional screen refresh issue with icons or widgets taking a few extra seconds to come back, or an uber zoom-in, but it always returns to normal eventually.

It would still be nice to get rid of the permanent Google search bar. It takes up valuable screen space!
