    Rooting, help. At&t galaxy s2

    Just to be clear, rooting always voids the warranty. If you don't increment the flash counter it's easier to hide that you rooted before returning your phone for warranty service. If you are looking for a good ICS rom once you are rooted I like LiLChris's PhoneBricker and have been using it for...

    Which phone should I get?

    I have a SGSII and love it. From what I've read skyrocket is the SGSII's slower big brother. Doesn't have the exonyos processor so it's gimped a bit hardware wise. Does have LTE so if that's the big driving point then it's skyrocket or One X. One X does have a locked bootloader so if you want to...

    to root or not to root?

    I love LiLChris06's PhoneBricker Rom with Entropy's ICS kernel. Phonebricker has an app kitchen which you can use to download themes, mods, kernels, etc. Very stable and he updates almost once a week. [Rom][4.0.3-ICS][XWLP3] Phone-Bricker v2.6.1 - 5/7/12 (Kitchen is live again!) - Page 218 -...

    Leaked ICS ROM for AT&T Galaxy S II

    Probably better to wait a few days until there is a safe CWM flashable rom. The one linked above contains bootloaders which if installed improperly can hard brick your device. If nothing else this leak should help the devs with their custom work and shows that Samsung and AT&T are actually...

    Unlocked Skyrocket on T-mobile question...

    T-Mo uses HSPA+ on 1700 and 1900 MHz. AT&T uses 850 and 1900 MHz. For LTE AT&T uses 700MHz. If you want a phone to work on both networks it must have a radio for a frequency that both networks use. Galaxy Nexus has 900, 2100, 1700, 1900, 850 support so that would be the phone you want to work...

    Can?t place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is locked?

    Re: Can?t place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is loc When my GSII is locked with a pattern lock hitting the button on my Jawbone Era does nothing. If the phone is unlocked then Vlingo fires up and it works fine.

    Voice Command doesn't work / AT&T I777

    I've noticed issues with the voice command if the screen on the phone is locked. The headset seems to activate but then it doesn't do anything. Unlocking my screen prior to hitting the button on the bluetooth seems to have fixed the issue. Sometimes I've noticed that the first call I make gets...

    Root Question

    Zergrush exploit does not trip the flash counter for rooting as you are not installed a new rom. If you want to put clockworkmod on then there is a specific way to go about it that won't trip the flash counter, entropy describes it at xda forums (link below). [GUIDE] How to Flash Custom...

    Rogue AP Mobile App Eating My Data!

    Totally agree jbliv but in the meantime if you don't want to deal with the hassle of calling AT&T every month to get a credit you have some options open to you. If you do a factory reset then never use the widget it never uses data. I have two GS2s on my account and the first thing I did with...

    Touchwiz 4 dock icons - any way to change the linked app?

    Yes it's easy. Go into the application window then hit the menu button and click edit. Now drag the application you want to use down to the dock and it'll replace the one that is currently there.

    Micro SD Card Question

    I have a class 4 32gb that I got for like $35 and it works fine for me. I keep all my music, pdfs, ebooks, etc on it. I don't really install apps on it though so I can't speak to its speed for that but works fine for media storage.
