[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No. It's like asking 'Would you rather go back to Windoze 3.1 ?' (A: Only if I can go back to 1993). Making an absolute statement like 'Battery life running GB stock is better than running ICS or JB stock' is nonsense. For some people & some phone setups, sure, they might well get better battery life running GB stock. And for a whole bunch of other people, that won't be the case.

So it's not a particularly meaningful question to begin with due to the variables involved.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
Bungle is right.GB is very old.A lot of apps are made to support Android 4.0/4.1 +.With GB you will lose this
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asf:
Battery life was better on gb but jb is so much faster, smoother and better looking!:o so its worth the extra battery usage:o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Catley:
Haha well I do like the extra performance and looks but I'd also like the extra battery life, trying to find a balance in ROMs and kernels just to find my phone to last a whole day without being used and losing 50% battery is really hard for me D:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_blitz:
for me GB is an escape pod for people who needs a lot of ram and would like the old vs the new, since the JB uses up a lot of ram even from just stock apps but lacks style and interface, it's ugly when you look at it from a person who has a JB. S

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alittlespecial:
Why are you using GB theunderling? What are the exact benefits?

I'm also thinking about going back to GB
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
I use it because it works as it should and has the best battery life;for me.

Ive tried loads of custom roms and Ive found theres always one problem or other,or the battery life is poor.

This isnt criticism of developers work,but I just use what I said earlier with the Samsung bloatware removed.

And these type of threads arent advised,as theres 1000s of different setups available which work differently for each user;thus can result in arguments.

Hi. long story made short, a couple of hours ago i tried to flash a different Hboot from within the phone's terminal emulator. it was a retarded thing to do. lol anyways, now the phone wont boot, it doesnt do anything. plugged the light wont come up, fastboot and RUU wont detect the device. i checked the HTC unbricking project, but when i use the ./brickdetect.sh all i get is "device can't be detected. check connections"

so yeah... is there any way i could get around this?? ... im already guessing not... sigh..

anyways, a trillion thanks if someone can help me unbrick this brick..

[One (M7) General] jackpollard:
Kind of a good idea to have the Q&A's in a easy to get to place.

I would add something about s-off and what the advantages and disadvantages are. I did not originally think I needed it when I originally rooted, then I got the update and was not able to use rev one or moonshine and really did not want to go back to stock.

Also, maybe something about why/when to wipe, dirty vs. clean. All useful!

Thanks for starting this.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazygerz:
good morning friends I have a couple of questions.

I have the tmobile note 2, and always bring to my country Honduras. here I can not surf the Internet 3g, I wonder if I can change the other note2 moden companion as att or verizon to see if they work. or the international version. and also want to know if I can flash a rom to the official international tmobile note2. Thanks before hand. excuse the English is translated from Spanish to English.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] voyagerair:
come on dude..you got to make it short...

basically I think all you need is to have your N2 unlocked. $28 online in one hour.

unlocked phone and custom ROMs are two different issues; they have nothing to do with each other.

so....want to use your phone on different carriers like Tmobile, ATT, Verizon, Sprint....? have it unlocked

so....want to experience something out of ordinary, something that doesn't come with the phone out of its factory....then give custom ROM a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
You problem sounds like missing or incorrect APN settings. According to Wikipedia the Claro Honduras network is HSPA 1900 MHz, which the Note 2 should support. Especially if your phone is already capable of placing voice calls and sending/receiving text messages.

voyagerair: make it relevant. Your post isn't. And bypasses the fact that there's a free unlock explained in these very forums.

[Xperia Z General] Kirkymole:
The wait is literally killing me. I met my girlfriend of two years through BBM back when I had a Lackberry. We have both said how great it would be to go back to the way the first spoke, texting isn't the same. We loved BBM and it's easy interface, easy picture sharing, voice notes and such. She lives about an hour away from me on the train and is shortly going to university in Norwich, nearly 4 hours away from me (second year when she is out of halls on campus I will move up there) So a reliable way to talk to one another with the feature we enjoy, aside from Skype, is crucial to us more now than ever.

Prior to launching BBM for Android, an unreleased version of the BBM for Android app was posted online. The interest and enthusiasm we have seen already – more than 1.1 million active users in the first 8 hours without even launching the official Android app – is incredible. Consequently, this unreleased version caused issues, which we have attempted to address throughout the day.

Our teams continue to work around the clock to bring BBM to Android and iPhone, but only when it’s ready and we know it will live up to your expectations of BBM. We are pausing the global roll-out of BBM for Android and iPhone. Customers who have already downloaded BBM for iPhone will be able to continue to use BBM. The unreleased Android app will be disabled, and customers who downloaded it should visit www.BBM.com to register for updates on official BBM for Android availability.

As soon as we are able, we will begin a staggered country roll-out of BBM for Android and continue the roll-out of BBM for iPhone. Please follow [MENTION=1168641]bbm[/MENTION] on Twitter for the latest updates and go to www.BBM.com to sign-up for updates about BBM for Android and iPhone. These issues have not impacted BBM service for BlackBerry.

this means the current leak we are using will be disabled soon

[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
It makes me chuckle that they are blaming the leaked version for the delay of the official release.

1. They most probably 'leaked' it themselves to create hype.

2. The leaked version was only operational because they allowed it to be at their end by turning on the servers for everyone on the Android app instead of just whitelisted users.

3. If around 1 million people using the app can cause problems, I cannot wait to see what happens when they release it worldwide and 20 million people try to login.

Why can't they just admit that they ran into problems of their own making instead of blaming people that are excited about their product? Joke company that deserves their inevitable downfall in 6-12 months.

epic fail for blackberry imo, could have been the boost they needed as a company, but is the fact they fooked up release going to be a sign of things to come meaning will cause more problems than its worth, never been a blackberry user but always liked the idea of bbm messaging service.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Merlin Coryell:
Hello all,

Ive had my Note 2 for almost a year now, and I feel its time to Root to keep new life in this until I upgrade. I enjoyed the ease of rooting my EVO 4G through Unrevoked3 and using easy tools like CyangenMod and ROM Manager.

Now Im wondering if equally simple tools exists for the Note 2. Easy backup and recovery rooting tools, and simple ROM managers to help make life easier for this casual user.

My main uses for rooting would not be for Dev at this time. More to flash custom Roms to increase my UI enjoyment; and with grad school around the corner, being able to utilize a tethering option without Sprint's HotSpot costs would be a lifesaver when I need to complete coursework or research from anywhere.

Many thanks to all, I have loved all the info I have gained from XDA over the past few years.

I would youtube wwjoshdew and watch some of his vids on rooting and unrooting. He is very down to earth and makes things easier to understand. I've been following him for a while now.

Ive recently been thinking of completely unrooting and rerooting mine just because after dozens of ROMs I now know what I'm looking for and want to start fresh. Anywho, hope this helps.

I am having a problem opening GIF files... It opens as still images not animated, when we receive any MMS message we can see them as animations.

Try opening directly from File Explorer which opens with Pictures & Video same if we open tru Pictures & Video also doesnt make any difference.

Does anybody figured out a way to open GIF file and can view them as Animations not just as Still images?

I solved my weak low volume using Medlez new build for Noozxoide EIZO. It works fine. See Nexus 4 Forum.

Also VLC did wonders before I installed it. So Vlc is your best bet if you are not rooted. Other players with volume gain feature like Diceplayer and Archos raise video volume but not as much as they did on my Galaxy. I couldn't hear anything in the car.

With EIZO vlc is now too loud and reaches distortion level easily.
