well i got sprint to cancle me because of changes to contract flashed to cricket and that was cool for the price but i still had crap data sold my 3d and put a down payment on my phone
i love my data speeds with tmobile it might not be unlimited but its at least usable no more edge speeds all the time.
hope to get to know more of you over here just when i started to cozy up in the evo 3d section i landed myself here
so anyway asoon as i got home i rooted it of course and i thought i would start slow and flash a rooted stock rom i saw on cyanogens site they list the galaxy s2 but the picture of the phone doesn't match is that for a different variation
thank in advance
eric
yes it's different, that's for the international version. each carrier has it's own version of the s2
I took advantage of breaking my contract as well. Have had this phone for a couple Weeks.
How do you like it compared to the 3VO? Only thing I miss is qhd.

Im sure you know this, but it is a common mistake that happens and I dont want you to ruin your phone. Do not flash any other ROM for the S2 varient that is not specifically designated for the T989. You can flash Skyrocket roms, but still. Be very careful when flashing a gs2 rom! I would recommend the Darkside Warefare rom or Juggernaut 5.0. Both good roms and plenty of other nice ones to try out like macnut. Anyways, happy flashing and make sure they say for T989 or you risk a brick.
You can flash skyrocket roms? How do you go about that, just flash a T989 Kernel?

I cancelled Sprint last week too. Had the Evo 3D as well. I actually hated the qHD screen after having the OG Evo. The screen width cramped the keyboard too much. Loving this screen, battery life and data speeds.
I came from sprint and the evo 3d a few weeks ago not missing much love the data speeds going to miss unlimited data already I use a lot of data. Try Juggernaut rom I have been using it with launcher pro so I can change the shortcuts on the bottom and the paid version has some sense like widets. You can also download smart keyboard its more like the HTC keyboard after my last 4 phones being HTC a few things I missed and adding them makes it more like I'm used to.
As far as the 3d I don't miss it at all in 5 months had the get it replaced 3 times. The screen was crammed after the evo
This is the best thing about the sgs2. It almost seems that the battery is twice what I had with the 3d. Overall a better phone by far.
Evo 3d couldn't make it thru the day even being oc sga2 a good day and a half

Well - after a few days of playing with the phone, I think I'm going to keep it. It's not perfect, but the screen is great, and the 4g data speeds are awesome and only supposed to get better. The only other phone I want would be an iphone, but I can't justify the downgrade in data speed! Love Android, but as a mac user there's something attractive about the unity of it...think I might get an ipad and just steal the SG2's 4G I gotta say though, not sure if it's from using Sense for a long time or what, but I do not see what the deal is with Touchwiz. Aside from the neat effect of dragging your finger over the window indicator to zoom between screens, I can't discern one special thing about it. Decided to throw Go launcher on the phone and have been much happier so far. The phone is a beast though. Once I decide 1000% to keep it I'll root and see what's what.
When cm9 hits (hopefully) I'll be all over that.
wish i felt like you did about the phone, except the iPhone part I've had one and thought it was a POS but that's another story. I came from the sensation and the amaze 4g and I really miss my amaze the camera is just superior and the resolution is hard to get use to after having qhd I just can't stand how big font is mainly. I do like touchwiz alot though and the slimness and speed of this phone is incredible I'm torn about this phone right now.

Umm how u change dpi? For galaxy?
Current-*Samsung Galaxy S2 (Gingersnap v1.1)*|*Htc Sensation (rooted w/ XE Dr. Dre Beats Technology)*|*Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (rooted w/ cm7)*|*Mytouch 4g (stock)*|*Mytouch Slide (stock)*|*Htc G1 (stock)
Changing the dpi doesn't fix anything because certain parts of the phone start to get blurry and it looks terrible. I also like touchwiz so by changing dpi the launcher starts to look terrible as well.

First post
Hi, first time poster, trying to earn my stripes as they say. I"ve had my E4GT for about month and have been patrolling these forums for last several weeks, following along with the daily ICS leaks and then Steady's repacks, etc..I specifically see JC's posts in very timely and helpful manor and I've appreciated his follow up comments and humor as well. Just a quick shout, I've noticed it a lot.
Anyway, I'd like to post here and there in the Dev section and says you have to have a certain amount of posts in the more "general" forums, so this is that first attempt. Hope to see more of you in the Devs sections.
Love this phone, I came from an OG droid that was awesome and worked over and flashed to all hell so this little upgrade is sweet sauce.
I change from T-Mobile to Sprint back at the beginning of September and honestly where I'm at I have very little problems. You won't regret the phone however as you can see in the dev section we do have ICS builds and from looks it's getting pretty close to an OTA push. The SGS2 alone is one beast of a phone "old" or not as some would call it this phone is great.

I made a Similar jump back in October my only regret is the data speeds. Sprints network sucks plain and simple from sucky data to dropped calls. but the phone it's self is a beast!!! You won't kick yourself over it... Hopefully your lucky like me and have 4G almost everywhere you go.
Welcome, I've had mine for a week now, actually I think I finished rooting and flashed my first rom about this time last Saturday, and I'm loving it. I have no problems with data and the speed that apps load compared to my EVO 4G are phenomenal.

I bought my one month ago. I purchase mine on craigslist for $325.00 and it is worth it so I did not waste my upgrade and I can still buy the latest phone when it comes out. In my opinion with the LTE phone coming out soon it was not worth an upgrade.
It's a great phone but pretty much unusable in my area unless I can connect to wifi.

Nah... I'll have to pass. I always wanted a Nexus device, but this one is just way too inferior for me to invest in. I'll definitely wait for the SG3 when that comes out.

I was just about the post the $50 credit for Google Wallet. I wonder if Sprint will allow me to push an early upgrade out of it? I may just have to buy it from someone else with my E4GT and some cash, but overall, I really want it. lol
So my line with the e4gt is ready for a upgrade and my wife line that she said I can have her upgrade will be ready in august. So I'm thinking about trading my e4gt for the nexus due to more rom support, then use my wife upgrade for the sg3.
Don't know what to do!

The good ol' hand me downs. If you're really that adamant on getting the SGS3, you may aswel hold out for it, so you're not stuck with a phone for 2 years. There will be another phone in the next year you'll want, and you'll be out of upgrades if you use them both this year.

i dont know if you're joking, trolling, or stupid. sgs3 will be better than the nexus in every aspect. seriously, touchwiz means nothing because it can be removed anyways, and the stock rom can be replaced with AOSP too.

Well technically the Epic touch is still on Gingerbread so I don't think they would be able to port to our phone yet.
Once the source is released a good developer could build a stock AOSP ICS ROM for our phone...
It would be nice to start from a un-modified Android ROM so that we could have something similar to CM9 with tweaks specific for only the E4GT.

I totally agree with you on ICS based ROMs are buggy and laggy. I've tried a few now and I haven't really been blown away with ICS so far. And I agree with the need for an official build for our ET4G's.
But I don't think it's Samsung's fault totally, I'd almost place most of the blame on Sprint. The international GS2's have their ICS update, and we all know to well that the ET4G's update to ICS is being worked on and tweeted by Sprint. A good portion of our ICS custom ROMs come from Sprints development and leeks, so it's there.
Sprints got a few new ICS devices out like the new Nexus and EVO. Plus more in the works for this summer, mainly the GS3. I always feel that most of the "feet dragging" on updates are done by the carriers. Why would they be concerned with updating last year's hardware, it only costs them money. When they could focus on selling us the next big thing with all the new bells and whistles and make some money. But hey that's just my opinion on the it.
For my money I'm sticking with 2.3.6... I've been running a stock, rooted, debloated rom as well as the stock kernel and modem for the last few weeks now and loving it. Using GoLauncherEX as my launcher I get no lag, and haven't had to deal with any lockups, random restarts or apps not working right or not at all.
Updates are always going to be an issue... I remember the wait for Froyo, it finally came out and most of us were disappointed with it. Then the wait for Gingerbread started... It fixed a lot of issues, but over the last year or so with the release of 2.3 and it's minor updates Gingerbread has become very stable and fast. Especially on devices like our ET4G'S, Gingerbread was originally written for lower spec devices so... On a device that's capable of running ICS it runs like a dream. But again that's just my opinion.

Are you talking about the Galaxy Nexus on the left? In the case of Galaxy phones, Samsung will never release a plain ICS version w/o touchwiz. Just gotta wait for kernel source and aosp rom developers to mess with it.

you should return it and wait for the T-Mobile's LTE S3 version:

No point in getting an out-dated phone
You should of went to radioshack then used the gs3 hspa model for a month until the lte one arrived. There's gonna be a lot of pissed off customers, I would have been one of them if I didn't leave T-Mobile for sprint a few months ago lte is worth the wait .I thought hspa was fast buy it don't compare.

hahaha nah im good! ive wanted this phone forever! and i dont really care for LTE or whatever, i have wifi at work and my apt so im set! =)
Since you are on MAC, you might want to check out this thread: Rooting JB OTA from OS X (no flash counter).
I'm a PC guy so I am not sure it is possible or not but you might be able to boot Linux from a liveCD and use ADB to root it that way. That is if you know how to use ADB/SDK. MintLinux and PuppyLinux are both pretty good versions to do that with.
Good luck and welcome to the forums.

+ 100..... By the time T-mobile's LTE is widespread, maybe you'll be on S5, S6, or S7 if you still like SGS's. Just my 2 cents.

Hspa is good enough u get atleast 5-12 mb down which should be more then good enough.

I recommend installing Swipepad, fantastic app. It's basically a quick launcher for any app off any screen you're in.
If you wanna switch keyboards then Def go with SwiftKey Flow beta. The beta isn't on the play store tho. You have to download it off the SwiftKey website. Non root required btw. Just hit download then open the file. Nova Launcher is my favorite launcher. Battery Stats Plus and Pocket are nice apps also. Must have Flipboard as well.

Unless I am reading this wrong...
Our current phones will not support LTE and would need to upgrade to the ones coming out here in the next couple months.
I see no reason to waste monies like that as HSPA+ is fine and won't be a hog on the battery.

no all you half to have is a 4g capable device like u just got and tmobile will release a patch/update to make it work with LTE
