[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafflan:
Sorry if I'm noob but how do I find my stock firmware? And should I just the stock firmware and download?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Its really easy.

Just search for 'Stock Firmwares' and u will find many threads on XDA. Or u can visit sammobile.com.and choose an appropriate firmware. Then download it.

Flashing is a bit more advanced. I suggest you read about Odin and flashing stock roms. :)

Going back to stock should make your phone a lot worse/slower.

Thats how you root and stick on a custom kernel at the very least.....to remove crap that you couldnt do normally.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Like theunderling said, stock firmwares do contain bloatwares. Since ur on Omega v19, why not update to Omega v21 (preferably after a full wipe)? Maybe that would speed up ur phone...

Hey guys,

I just picked up an Atrix HD and I plan on unlocking and using it on T-Mobile.

I did a search and couldn't find any info - is it possible to get T-mobile Wifi Calling working on this phone? I've heard that the app is device specific, but since we share the same chipset with the Galaxy SIII which has wifi calling, would it be possible to port it from that or something?

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix HD] matt99017d:
Are you talking about VOIP? Like vonnage?
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
I was referring to this:

http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/4g-wireless-broadband-service

More details:

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1680#How_WiFi_Calling_works

I've read something about a kineto.apk as being the base of wifi calling, but I'm not sure if this is something doable.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
Does nobody know if this is possible? Would the newly unlocked bootloader help with this?
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
To tell you the truth that is about 99% impossible at this moment. There are bounties for other devices that start from $1000 up to $10,000 to get this working on non tmobile devices so you do the math on how hard is to make this work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZory91:
Hi, I'm going to swapping from Sprint to Verizon. I would like to know opinions on screen protectors for this phone. Currently I have a Zagg Invisishield HD on it, which is "ok" at best. Dent and ding recovery is very slow and often not very effective on the protector, it also produces a plenty annoying rainbow effect under high light situations. I'm wondering what people are using for screen protectors and your opinions on them. I don't mind paying a premium even for a silly screen protector, as I plan to have it on the second the phone comes out of the box, and forever afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bfs673:
I can't provide much for empirical data, but I've used Zagg before and disliked them immensely. I use the standard one from Verizon and it works great. My finger moves across the screen smoothly and have had no issues whatsoever. Lasts a very long time and sufficiently protects the screen from car keys, change, etc... in the pocket with the phone.

It's not the most expensive route; but has worked well for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 48dodge:
The standard Zagg doesn't let the finger slip well but the HD version is much closer to glass. I was surprised how much orange peel there is on the HD still. It's still my go to protector because of the self healing properties but it's far from perfect
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cooter007:
Have you looked at ghost armor? I don't have any personal experience other than research.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] keynith:
If you wanna spend some dough, highly recommended:

http://www.xgearlive.com/products/tempered-glass/spectre

I got that plus the raised home button and aluminum matted case from their site. Top notch stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZory91:
Ghost armor stuff does look interesting, I am however concerned on it peeling off easily after it being on for a while because of the definite resistance it will have on both sides (I would get both sides, otherwise it just seems like a different zagg for the front). Also what kind of indentation will occour on scratches and what not, would be my next question. Replacement seems to be a b* if i were to get any indentation/scratches on it. Most annoying thing with Zagg HD is the indentation and "would be" scratch marks. They are extremely apparent and don't recover at all/well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I have a dba just like glass and I like it. It does have some cons, line not covering the full screen. Try and look for a wet application, they are not intimidating at all and are very easy to install. If you mess it up, just take it off and start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZory91:
Not a fan of "buttons on top of buttons" unfortunately. I don't need a full body version, so long as the screen is covered. I baby the crap out of my phone but I just want a screen protector because that's something you can't get away from (scratches) no matter what you do with your phone unless you practically don't use it.

Also, I seemed to have missed the first response in my thread. I was debating just buying whatever and not caring too much about it (I honestly don't care too much about it, but if there's something that's close to perfect I'll buy it for near any amount of money). My phone's off of amazon however so now I'm forced to look for myself instead of being the irresponsible buyer and having a limited choice :P

Edit:

SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy S3 Steinheil Ultra Nano looks promising. Debating on that and anything I see within the end of the night (need to order it today to get it in time with the phone as well).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FesterTOR:
I had the ZAGG invisishield HD and it was nice to look at but pitted and scratched way to quick. Then I went with Armour Suits one and it was the same way. Finally got the regular ZAGG invisishield and it seems to hold up nice. Not sure I like the rubbery texture or not though. I work around metal all day and I have shavings and dust on my fingers 24/7. The ZAGG already has scratches on it but I'll wait to send for a new one till it gets worse. I also tried going naked for awhile, and after about a month I had a faint scratch on the screen. But if you're not around metal or sand much, go naked!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] je2345:
Puretek HD screen protectors are awesome and come with a lifetime warranty. Industrial strength and cost about $24.99
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
I put on one of the ones you get on the Verizon store that are about 13 bucks (you get three) and you barely notice that it's there. I feel convinced that if I had it on, my screen would have survived a fall much better (it is now cracked along the bottom).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chilltech:
Have you ever tried BodyGuardz? I have one on my phone and I couldn't more happier with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] keynith:
Whatd you end up going with OP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zamphire:
These are my favorite Tech Armor. I love the way they feel on the screen, your finger slides across them with no drag what so ever. I also love the anti glare feature of them and it helps a LOT. They go on easy as long as you take your time doing it and don't try to rush. They don't have any kind of self healing to them, but because they're so cheap it's easy to just replace them. I baby my phone as well. You get three in a pack and I usually replace mine like once every month or two. Even if you end up buying three packs you can replace it almost ever 45 days and still pay less than the $25 ones.

I tried Zagg HD and a bunch of other ones and liked these the most. I'd take you a picture but the only camera I have is my phone lol. My biggest gripe about the Zagg was even though they claim you get a life time replacement warranty, and you do, you have to pay $9.99 shipping to receive a replacement. You can buy a whole new set of these for that price. At least try these out, for $7 you won't be disappointed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] keynith:
I have zag on my ipod touch. Its been on there for 4+ years now with no problems. Plus zags are easy to install and they offer 2 for 1 deals/free shipping all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rams99:
I have quite a few screen protectors for my s3. I would say Spg Ultra nano is probably the best one out there. Easy to put on, hardly no fingerprints and easy to swipe your finger across. The ones I have tried are Zagg HD. I hated it cause it dimmed my screen and also it was hard to swipe my finger across the screen. Next I tried DBA just like glass. Easy to apply, swipe across the screen was great. But what made me take it off was it attracted way to much finger prints. And also the edges around the screen didn't seal. And I wanted 2 weeks and still no seal. Then I went with the spg ultra clear nano. Best one out there if you ask me. Hardly no fingerprints, easy to apply, sealed perfectly and easy to swipe my finger across the screen. Ordered from spg store online. $15 for 3. I have had it on for about 3 months now and still holding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I agree with the Spigen ultra clear nano. I don't think you want to take your keys to it but it's so clear you can't tell it's on the screen....I cannot find the edge of the screen protector. I've had it on for a few months and it's very fingerprint resistant, nice feel, similar to the stock screen. Before this screen protector I had never used one...got these for my wife but since it was a 3 pack I used one myself. I will say that these are probably not as resistant to heavy abuse as some of the thicker/uglier/extremely noticeable ones are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwinn8:
Wife and I have been using Zaggs for years now... as have my friends. Initially, Zaggs are somewhat "tacky" and don't let your finger slide easily. But after it "dries" off completely (or breaks in?) it's just fine. I'll admit, naked-glass and some other screen protectors are smoother, but we all see no problem with the Zagg operationally.

More importantly, is the durability. My wife loves to toss her phone in her purse, and it invariably gets jammed with keys and such. Her older OG Droid was naked for about a week and picked up scratches quickly in this environment. The Zagg prevents this COMPLETELY. It does "scar" if it gets hit hard, but with a lifetime warranty, replacement is cheap and easy anyway. In the end it protects the device immensely... can't beat that.

I used to use cheaper screen protectors (Kingston?) on my old Palm devices, and they needed to be replaced about every 3-6 months as they get more and more opaque or worn over time. The Zagg never does this. I realize newer protectors are better, but my friends who use cheaper ones often have the same issues. So, for me, I'll stick with Zagg.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iballen93:
I haven't used a screen protector on my gs3 and all I've noticed are small scratches that are only visible if the screen is off. It annoys me a bit but you can't even see them when using the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
yup. screen protectors are unneccesary.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Pretty easy fix. I compared the recovery.fstab on the inc with the one on the toro. The problem is the incredible's recovery.fstab doesn't work on the new cwm. All I had to do was pull the NULLs and second device and file system out. Each line should have three columns. I made those changes and built it, booted it with fastboot and then some basic tests. I did a backup, factory reset, confirmed they were wiped, formatted system in mounts and storage, confirmed it was cleared, then restored and confirmed that it would boot.

If anyone's interested, I'll post my build in the morning and push my changes to recovery.fstab then as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Yeah i fixed it my self too. I also changed the background to the standard black, as the grey really bugged me for some reason. I used cwm for a long time. But now that twrp is around, it has become my recovery of choice. It has a better ui, more features, and backs up and restores faster. Twrp also gets frequent updates, and cwm seems to have ceased to provide updates for the incredible. I didnt look into the mechanics of this recovery vs previous versions, what is so different or better about it than previous cwm's?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I'm a TWRP user as well. The advantages of this one primarily are incremental and faster backups. The incremental backup feature is one I wish TWRP has. It basically allows you to make small backups with only the changes from the previous backup to save space if you keep multiple backups of a ROM. If you use nandroids to switch ROMs, the benefit is reduced as the differences in the ROMs are larger leading to larger backups.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gweedo767:
If you push the recovery changes let me know.

Hello all,

After I upgraded to SER 1.2 I can no longer browse in any browser on my AT&T SX-56. I have radio stack 10.20 and the GPRS settings are correct.

Does anyone have any ideas? If not I am going to have to roll back.

Sigh...........

You're the second person this month thats reported this problem with AT&T and SER 1.2.

Well when nothing else worked the way you are SUPPOSED to set it up. I just started doing things that WERN'T supposed to work!

As soon as I removed PROXY from the APN line, all started working fine. Of course this is only on SER 1.2. On the original image I had, 20.17, I had to have proxy in the APN line.

Why does it work? Not a clue.........

Well since this is my first ROM flash, I'm pretty happy. Now I'm going to do a restore back to 20.17. I am assuming I just use OSImage Tool and restore my .nb1 file from disk/card to the device?

Tell me if I am wrong before I blow this poor little xda up! :-D

Randall
[Networking] Qman:
You the man...! 8)

BTW the restore back to 20.17 using OSImage Tool will work just fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hugabone:
I had straight talk for almost a year using ATT sim, just yesterday I decided to go with T-mobile's 2 line family plan. One line is unlimited and the other is 2.5gb, I havent had any complaints using T-mobile in my area but I was throttled a couple of times with ST. I just called them and explained my speed slowed down and they just reset it. The reason I switched from ST to T-mobile is the data cap. I now have LTE on my GN2 and pretty satisfied with it. ST with the ATT sim was pretty solid but the "unlimited data" is just actually "unlimited web".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sheon849:
it works fine for me i paid for a year of service and so far i never had any issues

i dont use a lot of data tho so maybe thats why for what i paid 500$ for a whole year nothing beats that deal if t mobile comes out with a deal like that ill swtich but untell then straight talk works just fine for me

now i will agree there customer service in india is ****ing stupid
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kenfly:
I used to have tmo with a contract years ago but had to switch because of coverage. Now I moved and I want back with them. Their coverage might not be great but at least their customer service is great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kleeman7:
Are you using the proxy in your apn. I heard if you remove it the cap goes away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cyberguycpt:
Net 10

Although I have Straight Talk and love, it why don't you try Net 10, as long as your not going over there 1.5 gb cap you'll be good. If Straight Talk ever starts messing with me that will be my next option. T-Mobile is showing promise but my past experience with them is dictating my current decision to not go with them.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cyberguycpt:


And what carrier did you go to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrBooMY:
I had Straight Talk via an E71 SIM for over 2 years. It was GREAT at first. I used 2-4gb a month. Last 6 months I started getting throttled EVERY month. It started at 2.5-3gb then it dropped to 2GB then it dropped to 1.5GB. The last month and last straw it dropped to 1GB over 25 days of service then I was throttled again. I saw the writing on the wall and switched to real AT&T and have had them for the last 2.5 months with LTE. The LTE is good WHEN it works right but I think the area I'm in is way oversold. It works great at night but during the day it can be SLOWER than the regular 3.5G is at the same time of day. I have 5GB of data to use HOWEVER I like, and I think it's worth twice the price for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htcbrazilian:
AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] onthezone:
I know it seems like a lot but read the terms and conditions of any unlimited data carrier and it says if you use to much data they will throttle you or cancel you. Even t mobile truly unlimited data is the same way. To guarantee having fast or even service at all you need to get a tiered plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jack143:
I switched to T-Mobile about 3 months ago, from At&t. I had been with them I would say 7yrs. Att has no doubt the best coverage and I do miss the coverage. Now with T-Mobile I get 10 to13 mbps dl. and 2 to 4mbps up. and coverage is decent and it great at my house. im so far satisfied with Tmobile. I hope the competition do force the other carriers to have pricing similar to tmobile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kenfly:
No proxy. Still capped and throttled
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kenfly:
UPDATE: 1 Month after incident

UPDATE

ST has changed their T&S to where if you are throttled once, You are Throttled

PERMANENTLY FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER!

I'm switching.
