Develop Bugs

just got my phone!

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?

Welcome

Welcome. You must already notice the improved battery life compared to the Evo 3d.

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

that's why I grabbed the 5gb plan but even then I still look over my shoulder.
I have the family plan with two phones 5gb and 1000 min. Paying $136 because of discount. That's the $159 plan.

I have not flashed any of the Skyrocket ROM's myself but have read in numerous places on the forums that the flashing of a T989 kernel fixes the rotation issue.

Can we root or install roms on the GS3?

My Galaxy nexus just died. I dropped it and cannot read the sdcard inside it. I tried CWM recovery, and it gives me io errors when trying to flash it..
I have 3 options:
Repair, get the S3 or wait for the next nexus if it comes out on october 29th.
What would you guys suggest I do? I really love the Nexus brand because i get all the updates directly from Google.. I also love Android 4.1.2 and I know the S3 does not have it..

Thats weird, cause when I looking in my phone options funny enough I see, 4.1.2. Anyone else? I feel like you are going out of your way to troll..just saying.

Not Trolling at all, I know 4.1.2 is suppoded to be released anytime soon on the S3. Just not sure in Canada. My friends who owns S3s are still on 4.0.4.

You really need to read through these forums. There are tonnes of stickies about the information you're looking for. Posting this kind of question leads me to believe you are trolling as well.

you need to slow down and not post until you realize where you are. the is XDA. a place where things in the mainstream are not. that being said. we have Android 4.1.2. unlike the rest in the mainstream that don't. so just take my advice and search around the forums before creating threads of your own.

The answer is Yes, I am currently on the Cyanogen 10 Nightlies ... Everything works great aside from some random screen artifacts in youtube and the overall very functional and worth the dabble.

Can anyone help me please im using 4.0.4 rooted but want to update to offical 4.1.1 jellybean?

Well, technically it's not out for AT&T or Verizon or TMO.
But it is officially out for Sprint now I think. Released a day or two ago from what I read.
But most or all of the GSIII's have 4.1.2 available via custom ROM installs.

Really? Your title can't be serious. 1. Your on XDA. 2. You made mention of CWM, so you know rooting. 3. One tab back leads you to all GS3 development - I'm assuming you found your nexus rooting info on here so you're well aware of how the site is organized.
Is it April 1st again? There's another thread asking about rooting tutorial.

It isn't any less private than the regular Facebook app. This is a really tiny launcher that just pulls everything from the app and displays it to you front and center. You can still access all the stuff on your phone easily, but I don't care that much about Facebook so I don't gain anything from using this. It's not bad, just not for me.

I think it would be nice on phones like the Galaxy Ace or a Wildfire S. Just the smaller lower end phones because i hang around with university girls all the time and thats what they have and they use them for Facebook 24-7. But im an 18 year old guy i dont use facebook much besides chatting and i don't exactly enjoy a distorted blown up cover photo that looks like it was taken with a potato as my background instead of the HD backgrounds im used to. I like the concept of the floating head chat just for multitasking but that's about it

This is pretty much how I feel about it. I actually really like the floating chat heads and luckily you can use them without Home installed. They can also be used with regular SMS so that's a plus!

I disagree here. I had an HTC thunderbolt before the S4 and it took them forever to get 4.0 eventhough every similar phone already had it on other carriers.

With all the custom ROMs out, really? A *lack* of an update is reason to switch carriers?
Obviously, I'm not putting enough weight on my ROM when picking a carrier.

Sprint G2

So I've been playing with the sprint version of the G2 for a few days now and once I'm able to put it on my account I'll be rooting it. One problem though... I can't find the sprint section of the G2. Usually xda is pretty quick to have a section up before the phone is released. This phone comes out next week.
Anyone know where I would go for everything on the sprint version? Or am I a little too early... Lol

I'm sure as far as Development goes, Sprint will have their own section, but everything else will be right here with the rest of us

This friday actually.

I'm debating on getting one. The dev support is big to me, but I'm worried we might not get anything.

I thought the same thing when I got the optimus G but we had an amazing development community! I'm sure we will see some of those guys return for this device.

In the "I have the sprint LG G2" thread (I think thats what it's named) there is a link to an XDA page to request device forums. We have a few people that have posted in there to get us Sprint users some attention. I'll try and grab the link and put in here too so we can let XDA know we need our own forum.

Picked one up at lunch today from a Sprint employee selling on CL. It wont connect to LTE at my house through my cell booster. S4 and Note2 had no problems connecting to LTE here. When I was in town earlier the G2 had no probs with LTE. I wonder what's different about it.

It has some band 25 issues that will be fixed in an update soon after launch I believe.

Funny you mention that, I just saw it connect to LTE for a split second. The odd thing is the eHrpd speeds are ridiculous compared to my note 2. 1.8mbps, i've never seen it that fast before. I was lucky to see 0.3mbps when it would switch to 3g on my Note 2.

Just ran a speed test on my note2 before I go to sprint to get the G2:
129 ms ping, .47Mbps, and .66Mbps - let's see if the G2 can perform better I won't expect it to, but that would really be a nice surprise.

Anyone having LTE B25 connection issues?

I called Best Buy this morning to see where my phone is, they said it should ship today... He then asked if I would be willing to go to the store and pick one up instead. I said Hell yes, so I just got my confirmation that it would be ready today. Nice customer service for a change!
