[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flopelayo3:
galaxy s2 to ATT

as per the website SGS2, LG 3D, & Atrix operates in freq: Quad band UMTS 850/900/1900/2100

Which will work perfectly on ATT's Network bc they use 1900/2100 as their "4g" which is really 3.5g or HSPA + 21mbps.

Tmobile also uses HSPA+ 21mbps but on freq bands: 1700/2100. 2100 is the download speed but require both upload and download bands together to use "4g" on either network.

In this case if using with tmobile you will operate in Edge which is 2.5g (not even 3g)

Concluding: it will not be worth it to buy the SGS2, LG 3D, & Atrix.

SGS2: http://galaxys2.samsungmobile.com/html/specification.html

LG 3D: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_3d_p920-3759.php

Atrix: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-ATRIX-4G_id4982

I am not att customer instead own the epic 4g with sprint but bc tmobiles consistent 3.5g i might make the switch from sometimes 4g and still slower than tmobile I have looked into this already.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funk2641:
uh no, Att uses 850 or 1900 for HSPA
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Only T-mobile uses AWS (2 bands)

AT&T only needs 1 band for up and down, they don't need both
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
AT&T uses 850 and 1900 for everything. The SGS 2 has 850 and 1900 for everything. There's no incompatibility whatsoever.

Samsung Galaxy S2 32gb version will be gone?

Due to high cost for 32gb flash drive, 32gb version will not publish to market:mad:

Don't spam the threads without an actual source for the information. Unless you can post a published link from a reputable source, this is just speculation, even if it ends up being true.

Furthermore, if you madge a thread on it, you don't need to also post it here. It's not like this forum is flooded with posts right now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asher74:
Hmm the rumors that the US is not getting the super amoled version is troubling. If true I won't be getting this. Fortunately for those not on AWS bands can just import.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virtue94:
And there wasn't any new information of the SGS2 at their CTIA event today. This blows, we're not going to see the SGS2 anytime soon AND there's a chance we're going to be stuck with SLCD.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:
I just had a conversation with T-Mobile about the Samsung Galaxy S II and the AT&T merger. I felt I was pretty persistent and it seems they lack the information right now or it is EXTREMELY confidential.

Lol while I was at the tmobile store where I live, I asked the sales rep about the galaxy s II, if they have any information on it and they they told me the that the galaxy s 4g IS the galaxy s II...... silly sales rep
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:
I think all these end user representatives are clueless about the Galaxy S II. They are all confusing it with the Galaxy S 4G since that is the second generation of Galaxy S phones for them.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Magenta = Galaxy S ?

or do they mean Magenta as a release level within Tmobile USA ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bernardos70:
Magenta is the nickname of T-Mobile USA, due to their logo being the color magenta.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
i just dont see why they would pass on such a powerful high end selling phone??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
maybe it has something to do with the ATT and tmobile merger? last night i just saw the first commercial from ATT flat out saying how good the tmobile merger will be for users. so if money was already spent on a commercial already released, the higher ups must be collaborating together, and that may include which devices to carry is good and not good for each company...i.e. maybe ATT said "hey look, we bought you now and only we should carry the SGS2, so back off that device".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serlex:
Can anyone confirm this please?

I'm about to move to the USA and I dont know whether to go for AT&T or SIMPLE mobile (T-Mobile)

As Tmobile doesnt have the 1700 Mhz band for 3G, I thought I'd still be able to get high speed with their 2100 Mhz "4G"... but if this is user is right, I wouldn't even get that due to the lack of 1700Mhz for the upload link
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serlex:
no one can help me with that issue?

please
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
it is correct, you need BOTH 1700 and 2100 to use any phone on tmobile. so UK phones with only 2100 will not work. sorry man.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serlex:
Yeah! That's too bad for me but I really appreciate your answer :-)
[Xoom General] sesgv13:
Does anybody know if the xoom has limits on to what type of videos it can play?

I have the xoom and galaxy tab and had due date in avi format and played great on my tab

But when I load it on my xoom won't play for some reason
[Xoom General] muyoso:
You should be able to play that file in rockplayer or a similar app. Natively i am not sure if the xoom can play avi files.
[Xoom General] sesgv13:
thanks that worked tried other players and they wouldn't play

Completly forgot about rock player

So, here is the thing, i bought my father a phone from one of those chinese imports, at the time i didnt quite check the autenticity of the product, i looked at the price and purchased, well, my father will never figure it out ir its real or not, im just asking out of curiosity

Here is the link of the item i purchased

www . aliexpress . com / snapshot / 100404380 . html

(remove spaces)

Sorry, it seems i cant post links, but its sort of necessary for this question

Its funny that even the box looks real, what caught my attention were the sound holes in the back

Anyways, looking for some expert eyes on it, its payed already, im not going to regret my purchase or anything, its just out of curiosity, the link above is filled with imgs of the phone.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
By looking at the 6th and 8th pictures (bottom of the phone; open back of the phone) in the description, you can easily tell it's fake. The 3.5mm headphone jack is missing from the bottom of the phone, the hardware Home Button (should be between Call and Start) is missing, and the back of the phone does not have that layout. Heck, the provided battery is 1500mAh, whereas the stock HTC HD2 battery is only 1230mAh.

fake......:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Lol figured it was,

It seems it comes with the same processing unit tho, snapdragon 1 ghz, hopefully my dad will never notice the diferece, anyone knows if its possible to install android on this fake phone?
[HD2 General] johnerz:
sadly no its not an hd2 and therefore hd2 roms will brick it
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
Yes Android can be run on it...there are special custom ROMs....a search should do !!

The internal storage and RAM are pretty low. If I was buying a clone, I'd at least get 1024 storage and 1024 RAM. And preferably the snapdragon CPU.

EDIT: But the key thing to realize is that it will probably NOT work with the standard custom ROMs in these forums; it has different hardware. So whatever you get is what you have for an OS.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Bradstein:
Everywhere I looked only showed you how to dual boot by taking out SD card and inserting it into computer... My computer does not have a working slot for my SD card.

Is there any other way I can dual boot these two?

( And when I reset on WP7 will I lose everything? )
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] his_81:
Hi

Same problem here, any ideas?

I was wondering if it is possible to use MAGLRD USB function to format the SD card when reseting WM7?

i´ve bought an usb adapter, where you can insert the sd cards :D.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AndHD2:
You could try Magldr's Mass Storage but this is not always reliable. Even Cotulla has recommended not using this and looking into fixing it for future releases of Magldr.

Where I live in the UK, you can buy card readers for only £1 from Pound shops, not sure about other countries but a quick look on Ebay suggests they are not very expensive no matter where you are.

Come on guys, to buy they are very cheap if you shop in the right place. Is it worth very little money for you to dual boot.....I think it is. However, for those who squeak when they walk :D, then Magldr's Mass Storage could work but not recommending it
[Xoom General] galtom:
Hi,

just had a look at this: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/12/adobe-flash-player-leaks-for-motorola-xoom-we-go-hands-on-vide/

I am not worried about performance (or maybe I should be?) but my question is:

will it be possible to "cheat" hulu and get access to its free content from Xoom/Galaxy Tab/etc.

In regard of performance... My Wife's Atom in Samsung NC10 struggles to play 480p full screen from hulu, it is simply not watchable... my Asus 1201N (with 2 cores of the same Atom) has no problem (+ it gets extra power from GPU). Where do you think Tegra 2 is if compared to those to (I know these are different chipsets but I am asking about user experience - what to expect?).
[Xoom General] ocdtrekkie:
Only Hulu Plus is available on mobile devices, due to their network contracts. Hulu Plus has not yet been released for Android, but it's coming soon. A service called PlayOn circumvents it, but you have to have a PC streaming it to your mobile device, and it's not free.
[Xoom General] galtom:
1. I read somewhere that some android phones with flash can access hulu free... but can not find any more info about it.

2. Netbooks wit 3g modem built in (like my friend's Nokia Booklet 3G) are to me mobile devices as well - it is not very fair on hulu side.

3. Tablet with Windows... is it a mobile divice?

4. Why not the same rules to all?

:-( I know it is not your fault it is just my frustration as I can not pay from my location for hulu plus :-( All I can get is hulu free and if it is not on tablets... than I am screwed.

Unless someone has a paypal account and is willing to pay in my name? :-)

[Xoom General] ethan.r.besbris:
I pay monthly and would have no problem letting you use my login information.
[Xoom General] galtom:
I got my own account that I use - with VPN it is not a problem, but I can not get a Hulu Plus because from Poland I can not pay for it :-(. Credit card has to be registered in USA as service is for USA.

Off topic:

It is completely crazy from my point of view that they will not allow ppl. like me to pay and watch. It does not make any sense (both for copyright owners and services like hulu or netflix themselves). but...it is what it is...

ethan.r.besbris

Thanks for the offer man - I will talk to you on priv if I may - SNL is the main reason for me to get Hulu Plus.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
1) Yes i watch hulu on my evo, but its through a hacked version of flash. This has not been done for the xoom yet.

2) Mobile os device like ios/windows mobile/android are being blocked by hulu.

3) Depends if its running mobile or full windows.

4) It is the same.
[Xoom General] galtom:
How can you say so if it is not true?

If you have mobile device running Windows (full) you do not have to pay.
[Xoom General] zorack8000:
if u look in the xoom dev section there is a hacked version of flash that can play hulu. you also have to follow the instructions for the user agent change too.
[Xoom General] galtom:
zorack: thanks +1 - i wonder if something similar will be available for GT10.1
[Xoom General] setite:
Watch my very long and unprofessional flash demonstration. About 14 minutes in I show HULU playing on the XOOM utilizing playon. It's much better than what we could ever expect from such a busy site as HULU. Not to mention it bypasses all the hacking crap.

[Xoom General] galtom:
THX +1

Watching now :-)
[Xoom General] ocdtrekkie:
Because then it's not a mobile device, it's a laptop with the keyboard lobbed off.
[Xoom General] galtom:
Describe mobile... :-)
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Mobile device is something you can carry around with ease...Mobile os is the key though.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] galtom:
That is exactly what I am saying... if mobile device is something you can carry with you than netbooks and tablets are mobile devices. If so... allowing owners of some to access stuff for free (and not as a part of the deal - included in price) and other not is just not fair.

If hulu is not loosing money on ppl. accessing and watching thorough PC desktop/netbook/tablet what changes if the same person wants to watch the same thing on Android device?

Nothing.

I could understand that iPad owners pay extra snice streams for them need additional effort to play (no flash in device), but the rest...

I just simply do not like it :-(
[Xoom General] purplecrayon:
Exactly, the Asus Eee Slate is a tablet that runs Windows 7, and isn't restricted to content at Hulu.
[Xoom General] galtom:
With what I had in mind, risk is only at my side - not yours :-)

As I am sending YOU money not the other way round.

@ethan.r.besbris: are u still willing to help? (I mean as soon as I actually have a tablet) - for now I got hulu free on PC.
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
Flash Overview Video

I posted a video of flash on Xoom for users out there who don't want to install the pre-release version or don't have a xoom.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yqAwMOlO_U

Cheers!
[Xoom General] galtom:
Not bad, but I hope official release will be improved (honestly I doubt... it will get better).

I don't know how sleeplesninja can say that there is no freezing when in both videos there was freezing :-(

We'll see...

Another question is will introduction of Flash to Xoom/Honeycomb and browsing experience have an influence on battery life and if so how big?

Example... how many h. of video playback of downloaded files (avi, divix, etc...) and how many h. of flash video playback (will I be able watch 1,2,3 movies from hulu?)?
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
I am pretty confident that was my WiFi speed and not the flash itself. I could be wrong but same thing happens when I watch on my Mac Pro. I apologize if its misleading.
[Xoom General] galtom:
No... it s ok... if you say the same things happen on you other device when connected via Wi-Fi, then maybe it is the case.

Can you do one more test? For a lot of ppl (me :-) !) quite important.

Check last few posts here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993803

As far as I understand there is a way to make sites like hulu think you are not a mobile device. Can you find out if it is a case? If you can watch HULU (free) as on a PC?

Does anyone know what steps he should take to make it happen?

fastboot .. go to settings --> power .. HTC Desire HD
[Desire HD General] IoanTheodore:
So I had a Fascinate with Verizon in NY.. I moved to Shanghai though. After a couple weeks, I had an HTC Desire HD A9191 shipped to me. The problem is gmail (sometimes), facebook, twitter, youtube, and lots of lots of various other things are blocked. So I'm on Ubuntu, the first thing I did was ssh -fND 1080 somebox, then chrome/pidgin are configured with a socks proxy to localhost:1080 and it works great, I can access everything.

Android though, most of the apps don't supports socks proxy.. and I would have to setup connectbot each time I think and I would have to configure each app individually. I've been told you can go to VPN settings and it will traffic all data through the VPN on all the apps. From what I understand though, android only supports the proprietary VPN protocols by default, not openvpn which uses ssl. Though you can get cyanogenmod and this supports ssl (openvpn)!!!

So I rooted my phone. Then I did the step with Engineering and dd, the next thing in my guide was install Rom Manager.. which it wouldn't let me.. but I downloaded the apk and have it installed to the latest version (4.0.0.6)... next I need to flash ClockworkMod Recovery and I can install a rom that supports openvpn. Great.. so easy... up no it's not.. the great Chinese firewall is blocking ROM Manager from connecting to the server error.. and sometimes the 'flash clockworkmod recovery' option is faded out.

So then I found out this fastboot option exists. So I got some img, and tried that:

john@cs:~/android/fastboot$ sudo ./fastboot-linux flash boot recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-ace-modaco-r2.img;
sending 'boot' (4242 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
john@cs:~/android/fastboot$

I get this remote signature verify failed though. So my two questions are... can I manually download through Chrome whatever ROM Manager needs.. or if I can't do that... can someone tell me why this verify code pops up, where is the repository of the right img file I need?

Thanks,

Ioan
