Need Help With My Galaxy S2 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello. Hope someone can help me out. I recently updated the software on my galaxy s2 to 4.1.2. Before I had this option- when for example you see an ad on craigslist and it showed a phone number, I was able to text or call that number by just touching the contact info. Now that I upgraded to 4.1.2 this option is lost. No longer can I do it. Is there a fix?? My carrier is T-mobile. Thanks.

Try a different browser. That's my first thought. ?
I use dolphin and boat browser. Both are pretty good!

Thanks, thought i was the only 1...
Youre not the only one. Ive got issues with Dolphine and my GN also. Sad too bc i really like Dolphin
Same here.
Need it to set a Customer User Agent... :|
yeah dolphin no worky.
if you want one with 'desktop mode', skyfire(my fav) works most of the time on this Nexus.
otherwise use stock or Boat Browser.
They have a beta to fix the issues it has with the GNex. Works for me again.

I've missed you so much!
It seems that the freeze is most likely to happen on Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
But now it is ok for the beta version.
Thanks for your quick response!

You can set User Agent in the stock browser as well. Just type about:debug in URL bar and hit 'Go', then open Menu and you will notice new option there, which will - among other stuff - allow you to change UA.

While I'm not exactly sure what you are asking my sms works fine on 4.1.1 Rom's. Make sure you have the correct apn setting for your provider, if you do not now what they are I suggest you use goole to goole for your providers apns settings or contact your provider and get them for them.

Ok. Thanks for the reply! My problem is this: im on PT. The dicionary (on the ROM) dont have words stored. So I have to right them all! And even so the word's arent stored on the "phone"...
Okay now I see, are you using the stock keyboard? If so maybe try one from the play store and see if it will work.

I highly doubt that dictionary issues have anything to do with the sms apk.

Weird SMS Anomaly

Whenever I use the stock sms app and receive a message, I get this weird thing going on (screenshot is included). I'm running the the latest stock rooted OTA (LI3) currently but before then I was running MIUI and I didn't experience this issue.
It ONLY happens with the stock messaging app. I tried it with ChompSMS and other things to reproduce a 'ticker' notification in my status bar and I don't get it with anything else. At first I thought it was a defect with my phone but seeing as how only one app is causing it then it must just be the app.
Anyone have a clue of what this could be or a fix? I'm currently waiting for the stock OTA to complete downloading so I can reflash but it's taking a while.
Thanks for all the help.
This thread can be deleted. I reflashed the stock ota over my already stock set up and it fixed the problem.
Just wondering what was the problem
In the screenshot it looked like you sent your self txts

Yes I did. But look in my status bar beside the first letter of the incoming text message after my name. It was a strange thing going on. But it's resolved now.
Edit: It's back. I'm not sure why but I'm actually not bothered by it at the moment. If anyone could tell me, still, why this is happening it'd be greatly appreciated.

Are you talking about that phantom-like pipe character in front of the "T"?
The only thing I can think of is a corruption in system/framework, but I have a feeling that's just me reaching for an answer.

Yea, that's it. It happens on any character but I just decided to go with another SMS app.
is L13 an OTA release or is it a leak?

Thanks. I think I figured out why I got that weird thing, I changed some font files so I was able to see emoji natively and I forgot I changed them.
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up

Never seen that before that is a new one. Is it on every screen or just home screen? Does the phone function normal besides that?

I heard that people who update jb from Kies, that's what happens... I never saw something like that on my phone because I install custom rooms (4.2.2) when my phone was 4.0.4 like many others.
It's just a comment in case that you want to try something like that.

Exactly... I don't use Kies for jellybean update... I said that he should try installing an aosp rom. I remember somebody had that issue and install a custom rom fixed (I don't speak English) sorry for my grammar and confusion.

Thanks for the post OP. I can't post my picture because of the new user 10 comment rule.
Exact same problem. This text overlay appears on the wallpaper. If I open up another program like Internet or settings or memo or messaging it does NOT appear.
If my phone is shut off and I turn it on, there is a split second where the text isn't on the wallpaper, but it will pop up eventually (I assume its because the OS isn't fully loaded up at that point)
This occurred after I upgraded to 4.1.2 via Kies.
Is it still there if you change wallpaper or use another launcher?

Affects all wallpapers, haven't tried another launcher and not really interested in it either. Is it worth trying to re-update? I would like to try the ODIN method but I gotta read up on it first.
It might be worth a shot. Here's an excellent guide

Sent from XDA app
Thanks for the guide. I tried it. Same problem. The writing overlays my homescreen and apps drawer icons as well, but when I open up an actual app like internet or anything else it is not there.
The lock screen also does not have the text writing on it.
As mentioned before, if I turn off the phone and turn it on there is a few seconds where it isn't "loaded".
The same also happens when exiting an app such as internet or email. The wallpaper seems fine for a split second before the text is "loaded" back onto the wallpaper
Argh!!! It is slightly irratating. :crying:
That is strange. I know you said you didn't want to try another launcher, but if nothing else works it might be worth considering. I recommend Apex or Nova.

I wonder if it has anything to do with those phone number codes you can punch in on the dial pad...oh well. I might try a launcher...might
if you wipe and start fresh it might fix that
here is my guide on recovery, root and roms
hope this helps m8's

I change a downloaded theme of the play store and disappeared, but using the native interface reappears. Not have a definitive solution?
When upgrading either my bluetooth works.
PD: Sorry for my grammar.

Update my T989 to 4.1.2 but I get a black letters on the screen, but only in the same applications after entering no.
It's like when you aprece the background in windows is not genuine.
Operation does not affect me or anything just uncomfortable sight, an interim solution I found was using a different launcher.
But upon returning to the samsung native interface reappear me the happy lyrics.
Is there any solution for this?
Since reinstalling the ROM probe with ODIN like 4 times, give the corresponding wipe but still not solve.
Now the problem I found that my bluetook not turn on. These two are the only problems I found, after my T989 I works perfectly and with the same fluidity and even better than when I had the 2.3.6.
