Does your browser perform worse than it did before you updated it? Thinking about getting this phone...

Unfortunately, if you're bone stock unrooted like me this thing is loaded up the ass with CIQ.

Sweet... which carrier you with?
Did any other carrier(s) get update as well?

I haven't, Rob.
And I'm currently running Metro RUU, not your ROM.
Can you tell us the ROM version from About Phone in Settings?

It's probably because your not runnning stock, try running insink's stock rom and check for an update in about phone.

This definitely hasn't come to MetroPCS. I'm running stock RUU right now, and checking for OTA updates comes back with nothing.
Besides, we've had ring lockscreen for ages, now. (Thanks, themers!)

[Q] New update?

Anyone else get a message that there was a new update for the stock ROM? If so anyone know it fixes and changes? They don't seem to have any info on there website about the update.
I gave my stepdad my old Evo when I upgraded, and he was telling me just now that he got an update on it. I came here to ask the same thing you are.

A guy I work with that has the same phone, not rooted, said he updated, and his phone is like a hell of a lot faster. We have both been having speed and signal issues, now he says he can actually watch youtube. Must be nice.

It adds sprint connections optimizer and still remains android 2.3.5. The update version is 5.07 and the previous before that was 4.67.

Superuser won't grant me root or update

Hey i just rooted my device and Superuser won't grant permissions to apps that need root. I tried updating the binaries and it gets stuck at gaining root access. I'm running stock t-mobile 2.3.6 Gingerbread on a Galaxy s2. Please help! Thank You.
Superuser version 3.1.3
Im getting this constant nagging to update my software from t-mobile. I wonder if they quietly snuck in something to block root access?

Because I'm still traumatized from when i did an OTA update on my evo a while back and it bricked my phone. Im updating to ICS when I find a good Rom. I just got the phone, still exploring my options. By the way, if i do the update will I lose Superuser?

Lol, I still miss my GB Juggernaut ROM. All the AOKP goodness in an ultra stable package. The ICS ROMS are still... well, too varied and not every single one has all the features. I'd like AOKP features in a WiFi-calling enabled ROM...... == Juggernaut GB

Sounds like you might have had a bad flash or something and didn't get root on properly. Have you tried doing it again? Are you doing it through ODIN or CWM?
Honestly don't let the ICS and JB goodness sway you... the new ROMs still have little issues here and there... GB was _AWESOME_
I followed this exact guide down the the last detail and installed the attached files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434
I'm gonna try reflashing. I'm using CWM.
I really just want speed, battery and stability and am not too impressed with all the half baked ICS roms that are available. I'll probably stick to GB until someone makes a flawless rom for JB or ICS.

I used SU v. 3.0.5 that came with a rooting kit I downloded from here. I don't know where that thread is right now. You might wanna update your guide and change the SU version.
@Ion Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

you know 3.0.5 is downgrading right? I started with 3.0.5 then 3.0.7 but then people said 3.0.7 wasn't working well for some on ics. 3.1.3 seems to work fine and dandy for the ics builds.. I'll wait until i get more feedback from other users. Btw does the market have an upgrade for your superuser while on gb? You're on gb right?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
This happened to me once. It's because su got corrupted or something.
I reinstalled the same version of SU and it fixed it right up, no need to downgrade.

I know it's a downgrade, but I'm just saying it didn't work for me on Gingerbread 2.3.6 and your guide says for 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.3, and 4.0.4
I'm not sure if mine was an isolated case. Thank you for the great guide by the way with the exception of that minor SU issue.
@8Fishes I reflashed and it didn't work. That's why I ended up downgrading.

yeah now im just curious if 3.1.3 is suppose to support gingerbread. It'll be weird if it didn't. Is there an update to your superuser since you're on GB? if there is.. is it the 3.1.3 update? I'm way too lazy to test this out myself since i'm in the middle of testing other ROMs.

Former Evo owner here myself and must say this is a hell of a phone with a great set of roms. Now not as much choices as we had back in the day with the Evo but good roms none-the-less. I would do yourself a favor and really not read into too much of the user reviews here. I see a lot of user error and just terrible flashing habits and a lot of complaining about issues with roms that quite frankly are created by the users bad flashing habits.
You had some good suggestions in here and great choice of stable roms like tdjs rom jamison904 rom
CM9 or AOKP

I see an update in the Playstore, but I'm not willing to risk it at this point. @ Playaa thanks I'll weigh those options along with the other ROM that was suggested to me.
By the way, I read that in ICS there is a method for Tmobile to track tethering and start charging you for it even if you have a custom ROM. Is this so?

Have you guys ever seen this before? I guess there's some type of update but I have to wait in line for it? This is the first time I ever got this message.

If you accessed that through Phone properties it's legit, but I was pretty sure until moments ago that it wasn't going to be Jelly Bean, let us know!

Wonder what that is, I love software upgrades and the bugs that usually follows :laugh: (no sarcasm)

Yes, root is gone with the update. You will have to patch it again. Toolkit makes it easy to re-root it without any problems.
