Time to start a new forum for the Samsung Hercules.
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28052
Already pre-ordered. Now we need a forum to spread rumors and beg for developers until release.
The Release date is 9-25-11 so unless they change their mind having a forum now is way to early Maybe end of August........ I want it now like today......... but until we know for sure.............. too early for a forum on the Hercules

That release date blows. Where did you get that information? I haven't been able to find anything.
And yes my post is jumping the gun a little. Just needed somewhere we could start drooling without bugging everyone in the Galaxy S2 forums.
Wicked phone! I want one asap!
Ran over to AT&T to check out the Infuse and it's Supoer Amoled+ 4.5" screen. Looks pretty good. Typical AA issue with text when zoomed waaay out on a web site... but that could easily be fixed with root and lcd density change. Colors were amazing. Made my HD2 look horribly bland and washed out.
Love EVERYTHING about this phone (assuming specs correct) except the 800x480. Once again... lcd density. Will definitely spec out the Sensation to see how qHD looks but I don't like other things about it.

They show 1.5Ghz Qualcomm APQ8060 dual-core CPU there. Interesting.
This is why I semi joked about needing a dedicated forum.... so we can gossip. But I agree it's a little early.
-Edit-
Further down I noticed they say the speed is 1.2Ghz.
i want this phone so frkn bad!! new forum would be nice so we can get developers ready for this beast of a phone!
well here is another about it man i want one too! yep we do need to get a fourm set up incase they move the date up sooner http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/samsung-hercules-coming-late-september/
[Q]Samsung Hercules
Pocketnow and many other credible sources have now confirmed the Hercules
This is the Request of the Hercules Forum.
Like the previous Galaxy S release they should be broken down by each carrier
Thank You
the most beliable source is here http://www.tmonews.com/2011/08/samsung-hercules-unveiled-for-t-mobile-galaxy-s-2-variant-confirmed/
i'll vote for a sub forum for the Samsung Hercules SGH T989
i'll suggest you to rename the topic to [REQ] Samsung Hercules SGH T989 forum
I'm getting it as soon as it hit nearby stores in Buffalo, New York, NJ, Boston, Michigan, etc... anything by the lakes.
+1 from me
i definitely want to see this going
Samsung Galaxy S II [SGH T989]
lets revive this topic
there has been a lot of news happening regarding the SGS2 Hercules recently to warrant for its own forum
with the well known fact it will have a different CPU/GPU chipset different than the rest of the SGS2 family

Hi there, I am interested in purchasing the official Samsung 2000mAh battery in Canada, so far I've only been able to find a store for the UK, does anyone know of a chain in Ontario that sells them? Or where I could order one in Canada? Thanks
try expansys.ca
Wow, not only a quick reply but one that is helpful as well.
This site does indeed carry what I am looking for, shame it's only for the black and not the white SGS II

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.

Flash it like any other rom (and specified kernal if there is one) would be my guess.
Although you should always follow the directions in the developers rom thread

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.

With the help of con247's script i can make a splash screen for the galaxy s3 it works for all models, it replaces the samsung logo which comes before the boot animation
post pictures here and i will give you a flashable zip of the splash. i will add some of my own ideas too soon
Till then peace!!
Forever dope zip 12/6
Bears 12/6
Any chance of sharing the script? nice work btw
I have talked with con247 about this awhile ago and you should tell everyone that this will not work with the international galaxy sIII the configuration of your AT&T sIII is completely different to our international sIII. Our splash image can only be changed when compiling the kernel i will request a mod to remove this as there is no chance it will work
im what Willis was talking about

And please stop fishing for thanks all devices are configured differently so it most likely wont work for all sIII devices as con247 made the script for the AT&T sIII not the variants there is also no need to go round posting it in every sIII forum you can find just post it in android general themes and apps at least then your not creating clutter

Hi,
I know this is rather a unnecessary question, but I have always wondered why the Galaxy S4 forum/device is named "Galaxy S 4". S4 with a space inbetween? Was this just an accident or has it any deeper meaning?
Sorry for being so bloody curious.:cyclops:
Thanks

The name doesn't have any space. I mean at boot says, Galaxy S4 i9500/9505, on the box same. Probably some confusion because of the "S" shape/size.

Because 4 is after 3 )) why iPhone 5 is called iPhone 5?Why the world is rounded...why it rains???
I thiink is called S4 because is the 4th generation on S-phones :-??

Ah...sorry i didn`t read correctly his question.Maybe because if you search for "S4" without space between the search result would be incorrect :-??
Why is this here?and not in the Q/A section?

You are right, I should've posted this in the Q&A section Shame on me.
Still: This device is correctly named like this: "Galaxy S4". Between "S" and "4" is no space. On here it is. I can't imagine why
It is a little confusing if you search for "S4" or if you type "S4" into the Type To Find Your Device field.

It just is what it is. If you like, I could get in touch with the site administrators and ask them
Nah, seriously it's because it's our way of knowing that it's a monitored forum. If you don't wear a tin foil hat when you browse it then we can see your internet history and address. If there's no space in the title then it's not monitored by the psychic division.

Hi Scotsman, when looking at Samsung's US website they are actually putting a space between "S" and "4". But if you look at the European websites, in UK or Germany, you can clearly see that there is no space.
Looking at this banner: http://goo.gl/8126jR you see the S4 is promoted without a space.
I think that is what confused me, in Europe ppl are just used to the "S4" without any space. This is different with "Nexus 7" or "Galaxy Note 3", but "S4" does really feel like an stand alone name, which "S 4" indeed does not reflect.
