I bought my Samsung Galaxy Drod v2.1 when I was a T-Mobile customer. Then I unlocked the phone and moved to ATT (work reasons). Everything seems to be working ok but the GPS. Its kind of flaky. In fact, it has worked at all for months and then suddenly today, it started working. I dont know why. Here is my question:
1) Are there settings that would allow my Galaxy's GPS to work perfectly on ATT as it did on T-Mobile?
2) Is there a way to Flash a Android v2.2 onto my Galaxy on ATT?

I assume that by "Samsung Galaxy Drod v2.1" you mean "samsung galaxy vibrant with android 2.1", if so, then readng the sticky posts in here would've answered all your questions and also given you instructions on how to do everything with the vibrant.
to quickly answer your 2 questions:
1) Yes, there files you can flash too
2) Yes, look in the android development section
Thanks ID006. Looked but couldnt find it. I'll try again.....
I tried to find where I can load Android 2.2 but couldnt find it in the stickies. Does anyone have a link? Thanks.

Hey guys I need some help from the people that know all the information about the AT&T Galaxy Note. I'm planning to get mine on the 19th but I have a couple of questions about the "phablet".
1. Is there are an ICS version coming out soon for the AT&T Note? I read about one coming for the International version but the AT&T version uses different hardware so I'm worried about this. I have ICS running on my Captivate and it works really good.
2. Is it coming with NFC? I read this phone comes with GB 2.3.5. I read somewhere that GB 2.3.6 is the version that supports the NFC feature. (Please correct me if I'm wrong).
3. How is the GPS on the Note? I had a very bad experience with the Captivate and the Asus Transformer Prime and I want a phone with a fully functional GPS.
Thanks for your help.
No dates for ICS, if this is a reason to get it, hold off. Well it get it, of course it will but it could be end of year
NFC, yes it is included
GPS, works fine on the international model, don't see why that would change

Thanks for the reply. I'm asking about the GPS because right now I have a Captivate and the GPS never work like it should
I came from captivate too. The moment i turned gps on my friend's note, i gave my captivate to my dad i am constantly getting 12/12~16 satellites in gps test opposed to 4/4~5 on captivate

First thing to check is the model of the phone. Look on the label under the battery. If it says "GT-I9100", then you're in the right place.
HOWEVER, since you say that the phone was modded to work on Verizon, there is about 0.001% chance that it is an I9100, since the I9100 is a GSM phone, and Verizon is a CDMA network.
The phone could possibly be an SPH-D710, which is the Sprint GS II, (aka Epic 4g Touch), or maybe an SCH-R760, which is the US Cellular GS II. These are the only two CDMA versions of the Galaxy SII that I know of. If it is one of these, for SURE DO NOT USE any firmwares or kernels from this (I9100) forum.
The Epic 4g Touch has a separate forum, and the SCH-R760 doesn't have a forum on XDA at all, at the moment. But I did find related threads for this model in the Epic 4g Touch forum.
how do i flash my phone
i have a samsung galaxy s2 sch-r760 that i bought on ebay. i was told it was flashed to verizon, but it didnt work. it is currently on u.s. cellular which is cdma plz help
So after having this g2x for 2 years now I decided to Root it, all was well, it could access wifi and basically run like a phone without being connected to a plan (I recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3). Well after rooting it and whatnot my girlfriend broke her ipod touch so I offered to give it to her and to put it on Net10 because my job now sells it. But when I put the SIM card in that's when things kind of went down hill, the phone, whenever I would place a call would start clicking and when I answered it with my phone the clicking continued on my end as well. I called Net10 Customer service and they didn't really help, so I put it back to stock everything except for the recovery menu. Still it doesn't work, the dude said that the t-mobile towers were having problems and that, that was the problem. I don't know if I trust that because my phone plan is with T-Mobile and I was talking with him just fine. So enough about my issues and on to the questions. Are there any Net10 friendly ROMs available and if so what are they? Is it the g2x that's being stupid or is it the network? Also my data stops working after I put in the Net10 APN. Any help would be greatly appreciated. To answer a question that I know some of you might have, yes I'm a rooting/ROM noob but I did it on my Galaxy S3 and it works like a charm. Thank you for your time.
gingerbread will be better
I recently got a galaxy note buts its the tmoble version t879, and i wanted to know if i can run these roms on the t moble version, there are no roms on the tmoble version of the note's page. I mean that page is beyond dead. i did some research and found out the i717 can run t879 roms because the phone are about identical, only the i717 have lte. so if this page is alive can someone tell me if i can run these rom on my t879, you would be great help.
Another question im using a att sim card in the t879, and it was working fine when the phone was stock, but after a put a new rom i no longer get service at all. sould a flash an att modem?
Thanks in advance:laugh:

As far as I know, they are 100% compatible. Many folks rum them on Tmobile. I beleive you other issue is the same as everyone else too.
You will just have to flash away with different modems to find one that works in you area.
I am not the modem master, but I saw this post a couple days ago and still no answer for you.
Flashing the different modems will not hurt you. They either work or they dont.
Good luck. Run a search

After 10 years with Verizon, I had enough (long story)... Switched over to T-Mobile recently with my Verizon Galaxy S5 Phone, however I have a few questions.
When I was on VZW I was able to root with towlroot, installed xPosed, and removed the Verizon bloatware. I then inserted the SIM from T-Mobile and made adjustments to the APN. It all seems to be working fine. I understand I will not get the full bandwidth, and I am OK because it was not worth $600 to purchase a new phone (Actually 3 new phones).
My questions are:
1) Should/Can I install SafeStrap and use one of the T-Mobile ROM, Kernals, etc... to be a "true" T-Mobile mobile phone?
2) Are there any T-Mobile specific APK's I should have?
3) I assume I can not get the wireless calling which T-Mobile uses?
4) Any other tips and trick from people that did the same thing?
So far happy with T-Mobile. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thank questions answered. I will search around.
