[Q] [REQUEST] T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II Forums

I see that we have a forum for the international version and the AT&T version. I just placed my order for the T-Mobile version and it will be here tomorrow. Now that the T-Mobile version is out... should we create a new forum for it?

What the hell!! it launches tommorrow??? some people probably already have it??? id like to start posting

It's funny because I just came on here to start a thread about the same thing. I wonder why this hasn't already happened.
Can we please get this up and running?? Also can it have it's own forum and not be blended with another version?

Some sort of forum admin, I'm not sure who the main people are that take care of this thing. With it releasing tomorrow at stores, and packages already in the mail.. there is no reason for it not to be up now though.

T-Mobile GSII forum will be up tomorrow!
The issue of separate forums for all GSII variants came up. We decided to split them all, like we did with original GS, because the devices are different, and it'd get confusing having, for example, a massive ROM thread with ROMs for four different devices. So, yes, tomorrow we'll add the forum.

Everyone email admin for our forum!

out of respect to the devs, you should never ask for eta's. just remember that they do this for free on their own time so all we can do is be patient and wait.

wow......really? have you been under a rock? you NEVER ask for an ETA, especially from the CM team. thats just rude.
you want ICS, go compile it from source.

...
We're all desperate for ROM updates, even the devs are when they're baffled by coding languages, but this is totally in the wrong forum and not even I ask for ETAs!
We love you, but it's just like growing up, and how your father might've told you to never ask for money. Here, ROM updates symbolise some free sort of money!

Never.this is a Samsung idiot.if you wanted cm 9 you should have bought an HTC, motorola,or nexus.Hell we won't even get an official Ics release.Haven't your ever read about the behold 2 or tmo vibrant.Samsung and tmo do not support there iPhone clone line of phones,vibrant never even got official gingerbread or a stable Cm7.U.S. Galaxy line is the highest selling yet worst supported phones,go figure.

As mentioned, just be patient and continue to check back for any updates. Apologies for twats like Maleus and GoogleFan. Those are the types that make forums difficult to support and defend. There is an etiquette about asking for updates, which you now know. Unfortunately there isn't etiquette for class. If there were ****tards like those guys would get bounced.

No i can understand the rudeness not only did he not search. There is even a alpha cm he could of posted in. But he decided to not to do these basic things or even checking if there was another post like this. After a couple times it gets tiring of people repeating themselves. You do not ask for eta. It is extremely rude to ask for work that you help in no way when will it be done.

funny part about the sammsung not updating is cyanogen works for sammsung now lol. I cant see them not getting it on the galaxy s2's. Secondly samsung has already stated it will update the galaxy's to Ics.
http://www.gsmarena.com/newscomm-3544.php
also with these other devices it was always a concern that we wouldnt see the source.
I believe the source dropped within two weeks of the phone being released.
So unless samsung really screws up they are already ahead of the game.
Not to mention htc's and motorola's ****ty locked bootloaders.

You sir are retarded. Steve (Cyanogen), personally has our device and promised we would get CM9. Additionally the newer Galaxy line will be some of the 1st devices to get updated ICS as confirmed by Samsung on their website & every tech hideout on the frigging web.
Let's leave the smart phones to smart people ok ?

A number of people (myself included) "donated" (it's not really a donation when you're asked to do it in exchange for something) to Cyanogen for the purpose of having their ROM on our phones. It would be common courtesy for them to at least provide a progress update every now and then. But apparently on this forum where arrogance rules asking for a timeline is a deadly sin.
You guys are so self-righteous it's disturbing. Yes, I donated $20 to Cyanogen and I would like to know when the ROM we were promised will come to fruition.
How is this any different than Bubby taking everyones money and never doing anything with the phone?

Sent from my phone.

They also announced about Froyo update last year..... for the Galaxy line..... and then they took an arrow to the knee.

with the constant samsung vs apple wars It would be a huge mistake to piss off the people who put them in the top contending position. You'd pretty much be sealing your fate with the mobile industry. I really dont think they will set themselves up for failure. Specially with an android God working for them.

Upgrading to ICS from custom ROM

Hi,
I'm currently running the Paradox ROM on the SGH-T989. Now, with ICS around the corner , I'd like to know how I can revert to the official ROM.
I've already taken a backup of the original stock ROM using the Clockwork Recovery mod. I'd appreciate it if someone could post an idiot's guide on upgrading to ICS from a custom ROM.
Thanks!

Who told you ICS is around the corner. It's at least a few good months away.

Most likly mistaking with the true GS2 International model

An engadget article. It's being rolled out for the normal SGS-II in Europe. I can't post the links until I'm 8 posts old , so here's the quoted text from the article.
After that March 10th mishap, Samsung reaffirmed to us that it'd deliver Android 4.0 for its GT-I9100 Galaxy S II when it was darn good and ready -- well folks, the company appears ready. It's just announced both via Facebook and Twitter that the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade that so many have lusted after is now available and will begin its rollout to users in Poland, Hungary, Sweden and Korea today, and will move onto other markets from there -- subject to carrier requirements, of course. Better yet, Samsung has affirmed that its Android 4.0 update for the Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will follow shortly. So, if you're one of the lucky ones to receive the upgrade, let us know how it fares for you in the comments below. Otherwise, feel free to keep clicking that update button.

I'm not familiar with how long the update would take to reach Carriers though. Anyway , I'm looking for a solution on how to upgrade when the update would come.
EDIT : Oops , someone beat me to it. I was referring to the international SGS-II. I'm not sure how long it would take to reach T-mobile.

I'm sick of the same thing being covered 20 times every day.
The international Galaxy S2 has NOTHING to do with our phone. Yes the name is the same but the insides of the phone are all different. They might as well have called our phone something completely different as to not confuse people.
Nothing from the I9100 will be usable for us. Nothing. Hence, I reiterate my previous statement: We are not seeing ICS for some months to come. Sad I know.

Here's your idiot proof guide.
Sell your t989 and buy the i9100.

The real frustration with this site is that people come here looking for more information and get greeted with condescending dickishness. Those guys posting about how awful it is to have to read threads asking about the update knew fully well what this thread was when they chose to come here.
I don't see how people can be so unaware of common sense that they would be surprised that a phone called the Samsung Galaxy S II getting the ICS update might confuse people who own a phone called the Samsung Galaxy S II into thinking they are getting an update to ICS.

By looking at the history, you can tell how long it usually takes for Samsung to deliver an update for carrier phones. As far as I can remember, for the T-Mo Galaxy S, it took them about 5 months to update to 2.2 AFTER the International Galaxy S received 2.2. This was about a month after google rolled out 2.3 via Nexus S.
The reason for the delay is because every carrier wants Samsung (and other manufacturers) to ensure that their bloatware works fine on their updated versions. And no matter how good Samsung's Hardware is, their software division is freaking slow!
So good luck waiting for 4.0. My guess is that it will be out by May/June/July/August.

Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec

Ok , thanks. But the real point of this thread was on HOW to UPDATE to ICS when it would finally come. It seems like everyone missed the point here. I don't really care when the update would come, that was never stated in the thread title nor did I ask for a date in my opening post.
I was fully aware that the "When is ICS going to arrive for T-mobile??!!" has been asked a hundred times, which is why I only asked HOW to update.

Well if ICS does come for our device in about 6 months.. you can always ODIN back to stock (check allgamers stickies) and wait for an OTA update, but you might have to wait for someone to exploit root access for 4.0... sooo i would wait until a dev creates a rooted stock ROM of 4.0.

Eh , the saddest part about it is how most failed to READ the thread. It was clearly stated that help was needed on HOW to update. The question "When will the update arrive?" was never stated in the opening post.

To answer the op, there's 2 ways to do it. first is to flash back to unrooted stock and wait for the push from tmo. Instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22881355
Second way is to wait for a deodexed or rooted version from a dev and just flash like a normal ROM.

Annoying thread but just wanted to inform you of that.

really? cause this is the first confirmation i've seen (i.e. not 'a call center rep/store salesman told me...').
and while it's assumed we'll eventually get it, i came from the vibrant, which was replaced by the sgs4g and didn't ever get official gb (the near identical sgs4g did, though).

good news for tmobil t989 users
our carrier is slow, broke, and has already publicly promised to build wifi calling into their roms to suppliment low network coverage.... this can only mean a longer wait for ics.
if the skyrocket gets ics, hercules users will also have it.

"Treat him nicely! Nagging will only de-incentivize him to work on it. Just be content we haven't forgotten about the Tmo SGSII.
Since word seems to have spread: Regarding the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (T-989). Yes, I have one and yes, I will be trying to get a stable CM9 build running on it."
I'm thinking they would only post that if they didn't get dozens of people nagging and flaming either the developer donating his time to work on it or the general cyanogen account. Deductive reasoning.
I posted something similar in another thread. I'm just in disbelief about how childish the people on here are. The OP did not contribute anything except "it's coming" no dates no new info. Redundant and pointless.

Thank God! I love you man ( As a MOD I mean )
We'll get ICS when we get it, simple as that!
~Eugene

I think we should storm T-Mobile's headquarters Matrix-style to get the source code, then hand it to the very capable developers here to finish it in a day or two. What say you?

Good idea... but I think the topic "ICS" is too general. How would we be able keep track of what the issue at hand is? Different groups of people could be talking about different things here at the same time.. if we keep it to "ONE" official forum for ICS. And it would just end up for a lot of us to do page searching.

There is only one issue at hand:
The T989 doesn't have ICS/Samsung source code.

LMFAO

Samsung + Tmobile + updates = Buy a new phone. Sorry, but this has always been an issue everyone always talked about with Sammy and T-Mobile. Things never change. They even posted it on FB like we are awesome, your carrier Blows! Have a nice day.

Came here to post this (Samsung just tweeted and FB'd it). Y'all are fast!
Well, this is very depressing. I guess I'll be hopping on the SIII bandwagon soon.
As happy as I am with the T989 on Gingerbread, I want the latest and greatest. T-mobile has failed me once again. All of this Galaxy S II ICS news from other carriers, the ICS update for the S II for Tmo UK users, and now we get a message "in the coming months". That's sort of... heartbreaking to say the least.

Would source from skyrocket ics be enough for us to get decent battery life from a port ?

gawd ........ some how I thought them releasing source as fast as they did would change how they do things. I think its time we start jumping their a*ses again
If we dont show support for the galaxy s3 maybe they will pull their heads out of their butts.
I freakin love the phone but I'm tired of all they stupid excuses. You can still release source or some crap.
And I would love to have someone with a lot more followers tweet this !

A response from Tmobile

Time to spam Telus website.

Exactly what I thought. They arent going to tell use until they push out the update. Apple does a somewhat similar few days notice.
It is annoying on both ends. Tmobile should realize they arent Apple and a software update isnt the press equivalent of realizing a new phone.

I've already gave up on this phone getting an official update , already accepted that ill have to get another phone so i will choose wisely next time, honestly the only thing that keeps me with T-Mobile is wi-fi calling if they ever stop that then I see no reason to stay with them

Probably would be useless, the small number of users that actually know of or care about an update is nothing compared to the amount of people that just buy a phone because it looks nice or has a big screen. Most customers are oblivious. Most it would do is start a small trending topic and then it would fizzle like KONY 2012. Next thing you know your running around in public naked doing the "5 knuck backhand no drop ins". Updates are worthless to carriers usually unless its more of a Dev phone like the nexus. Which the SGS2 is not. Well atleast T-Mobile version. Money is in the contract! Hook line and sinker.
But what do I know? Nothing but what I have seen with my last three devices on T-Mobile. I don't think the SGS3 is going to be any different, ship the phone. Get the money. Rinse and repeat.
Thankfully there is a sweet dev community that can work wonders Modding and porting ROMs but I can even see now certain communities are fading out because of Vultures and demanding users plying updates updates updates. We should all chill and just enjoy what we have and work with it. Last thing you want is more talented Devs and Themers leaving a device you own because patience is not in our vocabulary. ICS will or will not come...device has only been out for several months. Look at the SGH-T959 community, strong and mad ROMs. Stuff takes time. This is a hobby for people, hobby! Something people like. Whoaaaa...way off topic. I'll shut up now. Sorry for the Opinionated rant.
Carry on.
