Please check out your GPS and let us know if it is better than the Captivate!
Tip: Once someone comes up with a root injection kernel, get a system dump ASAP. Root that system image and find someone who hasn't obtained root via kernel injection to flash the rooted system image and dump your stock kernel.
Usually the first rooting of a GB device is via an insecure kernel - but then everyone wants to root by any means possible, so everyone blows away their stock kernel, making it hard to retrieve the stock initramfs.
Getting a good clean system dump AND a kernel dump will require at least two devices, and potentially one person willing to risk hosing their device until a good kernel dump can be obtained.
I'm debating whether to hit the AT&T store Sunday... I really shouldn't...

that doesnt pull the STOCK kernel
Does this thing have NFC or not. I hear conflicting specs.
EDIT: just read from a couple sources that it does. Here is one. http://www.nfcrumors.com/09-21-2011/att-nfc-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-199-october-2nd/

Have you tried out the performance compared to your last phone? How fast is the HSPA+ ? I'm passing down my iPhone 4 to my wife and can't wait to get my hands on the GS2.

HSPA in Auburn, Alabama yesterday was 4889kbps down, 1104kbps up.
Speed
Thanks for posting the speeds, sounds great to me. The iPhone 4 download speed of 1958 kilobits per second so these speed s would be exceptional. Have you seen AT&T throttling in your area?

We are not OFFICALLY hspa here yet. We are still a 3g area, but they are turning HSPA on an off while they are testing it.

No. That will usually result in a dump that is missing files and has broken permissions. Especially if it's done without root permissions.
Been there done that with the Infuse.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Android scene and moved from iphone to symbian and now to Android. Hoping for some help with this issue as it is a unique one.
First off, I have an ATRIX that was originally released for developers only. I got lucky and one of my dad's friend gave me the phone. The issue is that aside from lower storage (only 10GB available) and crappy battery, it is not the final firmware with Android Marketplace that came out with the final release.
Is there anyway I can flash the final released firmware? Settings > About Phone > Update states that I have the most up to date firmware. Also entering recovery mode and restoring the phone does not cure this problem.
-I do have it rooted and it is able to install software outside the market app (of which i currently do not have).
Thanks in advance for your help.
Just bumping this to see if anyone's got an idea or a hint.
are you sure you have the dev version? 10gb storage is normal, the rest is used for the OS. i have 10.71gb available to me.
you bad battery is most likely from being unfamiliar with android, if you have your emails, calendar, contacts ect...syncing all the time then the phone is constantly downloading data and killing your battery. you can try freezing those apps if you do not use them, you will notice a huge increase in battery life.

Hi Neotekz,
I'm quite positive I have the dev version. I was the percipient of it back in November 2010. I really didn't even know I had an Atrix in my possession until late January.
As for the battery, I think stock comes 1800maH, mine is 1500maH. I have disabled pretty much everything for auto data transfers. The battery itself may just be bad.
My main concern is; however, that I cannot get Android Marketplace on it.
You could probably just get the apk for the market.
And why take a modified phone like this as your first android phone?
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
heres the link for market apk from androidpolice

Will the AT&T version of the SG2 get rooted? And also be able to get custom ROMs? Just want to be ready when I pick up my SG2 Sunday. Going to sell my Nexus S.

Anything with running on top of a Linux kernel can be rooted. And being all the sgs2 models were rooted
fairly quickly after they were released i'm sure it won't be long for the ATT sgs2.
Plus the source for the kernel has already been released which will just make it go faster.

Hopefully we don't run into as many issues as the Epic 4G Touch community. Their root method at the moment involves flashing a pre-rooted kernel. And this kernel randomly causes loss of service for many users. Luckily though they're CDMA and we're GSM. I wouldn't be surprised if we were able to borrow the root method from the I9100.

They did not have a working source for the e4gt kernel when rooting that last month. From the messages I've seen posted it looks like source for the ATT gs2 has been released which will make things allot easier - as long as it is an actual working source for a stock kernel for the ATT gs2 (fingers crossed)

We are going to need the same method (flash custom kernel). That's the only way to root the latest version of GingerBread. Hopefully it is done correctly since there are already existing ones from i9100.

i tried to root it with superoneclick, didnt work
Rooted
The only root method I could get to work with the AT&T Galaxy 2 was the kernel method. My AT&T SG2 did work after flashing the non secure kernel and was rooted but I lost my Back, Search and Voice call ability.
Funny, I would think you would lose home and search, considering the international one has a back and menu capacitive buttons but no search button and a physical home...
... ... ...
AFAIK, if we can get a 1:1 dump of the stock kernel image, we can install the community one, install root, su, busybox, etc... and the flash the stock kernel back to restore lost functionality.
Yeah would be nice to have a one click root and root the SGII while your at the store. and tether your ThinkPad tablet.

I don't think that'll happen. A lot of the problems with the E4GT were not due to the device, but due to inexperience and lack of coordination of some of their developers. I can't believe how long it took them to figure out that you could root a /system dump and use that to extract a kernel from a stock device...
I'm still 50/50 on purchasing a device. If I do and alton987 gets the system dump I asked for in his thread, I think I'll be able to get a stock kernel extracted and /system rooted within a few hours of purchasing - again, if I decide to go ahead.
Might wait too... Luckily I'm in my thirty days. I can get it an play with it. I've heard phone call quality isn't as good ( it is a phone after all). That may be my tie breaker to keep my infuse untill the Galaxy 2 HD comes. Call quality was annoying on my captivate.

I have had some people complain about issues hearing me on the Infuse, although on stock ROMs you could disable Samsung Noise Reduction - there might be some tweaking in Gingerbread in this regard. Most GB kernels don't have the A1026 stuff enabled because:
1) It isn't documented at all
2) Device drivers in the root of menuconfig are scary - implies that they were put into the kernel in a half-assed manner
3) It's such a ***** to test it.
If there were a good way to test call quality with the Infuse I'd work the issue more.
another mod i come across have tried the first mod with flow control set to 10 slowed me down it seemed but I left it blank and seems like huge improvement maybe just me figured I share see what else others can get. haven't tried the second mod looks a little risky to me if you try it please post results for others and if it works for you make sure to thank the right person (not me)

I can not find code: "persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=1"
Tried Root Explorer and Rom Toolbox and neither showed this. I am running Joker's 1.4 kernal not sure if that could possibly make any difference???
what rom cm doesn't have it think its only stock or stock based I'm on rocko and its there also just did the file swap can't say it helped yet but no problems with it so far don't think in going to try the unthrottle mod though looks terribly risky of having to sbf the line in my prop is immediately after cdma ril........

Currently running CM7.2 and the code literally isn't there at all which leads me to believe that you could just delete the entire thing and it would either help or hurt your speed on Sprint's network.

idk thread says if you put a 0 you lose internet and zep was looking into it saying it can only be turned on or off not adjusted but then again said maybe it could be seems like it needs more research/testing but hell as horrible as sprint network in my areas is especially without 4g and flakey wifi anything that can help im trying
so i have been running this for a full day now and can say both mods seemed to have improved my stability and speed of internet saying this because in my are the 3gs are more like no gs and withe mod1 and 2 in place ive gotten a very reliable connection and much improved ( not to the point of worth shouting about but ) i a using null settings on mod 1 just leaving it blank and ive done the file swap in the second mod i want to try the unthrottle bit but im no dev and dont want to play with it not knowing exactly what it could do to my magnificent mopho. gl folks hope this works for you guys as well as it "appears" to be for me
Im on cm9 and its also not there, well it wasn't i added persist.ril.uart.flowctrl=10 to the ril sections, and my results where better data speeds on the cm9 which has been terrible btw. going to try mod 2 while im at it.

using rocko's unlocked rom with it nulled out (left it blank) maybe placebo but feels like its better so far as adding it to cm i think cm already removes the flow control im not 100% on that but if you wanna try it make sure you nandroid and or put a .bak after your prop so you can fix if something goes awry.

The location should'nt matter. You definitely dont want a # before a line that you want parsed. A # is essentially voiding that line out. It is called a comment in technical terms.

I plan on rooting them so i can do a hidden install of Cerebrus just in case they lose them or they get stolen. Anyway, since these will be going to my kids, i dont want to heavily mod them, i want them to be reliable.

i dont think that any anti theft is that helpful due to the lack of mobile data.
unless a thief is dumb enough to connect to their own wifi, there is no way for the galaxy player to report its location
I fully agree with the above comments.
I have a 5.0 for more than one year and now a Nexus 7. if I take at side the device speed (for heavy games) The 5.0 is in my view the best staple in today market. Especially in term of portabilty!
good choice

You can flash a cerebrus zip to the system and hide it from the app drawer. This also keeps it from being removed from a factory reset. If someone stole, or "found it" then they would have to be at least smart enough to flash different firmware, or manually remove it. I would rather have little protection than none at all. And if it fails me then i am only out the $140 per device that i spent.

I have N7, N4, HTC Vivid, an older LG Optimus, a few chinese android knock offs, etc... my kids love playing with my N7 but i wanted to get them something a little more portable that they could easily take back to their mom's house. I came across these refurbed players and knew immediately that it would be perfect for them.
Just like any big kid with a new toy, i couldn't wait to get them and try them out (well, i have to test them, they are refurbs)... And i have to say that i actually really like this device. I kinda want one for myself.
I use chip rom and everything works(its based on GB ) ..i use mine on 1.5 ghz with undervolted FQ and i tell you (at least on chip rom) most apps works faster then on nexus 7..i put side by side nexus 7 and GP5 and press buttons on same time ..in 90% SG5 would open faster or finish faster.

So i still didn't get this... I plugged the one in to my machine with windows booted up and Kies told me there was an update. So i figured i would grab the update and dump that, then also dump my other one without the update and give you guys both.......
Well this turned out to not be an easy process. Kies did something and F'd up the drivers. I spent a good hour (uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, hard reset phone, etc) with it trying to make it see the phone again to no avail. So this morning i booted linux and tried to get a dump and ran out of time. I am off work tomorrow so i should have more time.

Hi. I'm considering to purchase the V30. I usually root all my phones so its a bit disappointing I won't be able to do so on this phone (at least for now). However, I'm wondering is there's a way to have hotspot hack without root?? Thanks and sorry if it's already been discussed...

He's asking for a way to enable hotspot on the phone without the carrier giving permission/charging more money for using your mobile data as you please.
All custom ROMs have that feature enabled.
I'm going to go with no on this one. If it was found to work the carrier would shut it down in a heartbeat.

Yup. TMobile has found a way to shut down every Android one after the sensation.

Well, with root and custom ROMs you'll have it.

Hello,
In short.. Hotspot works with no root.
Please read through the post below starting at post # 16..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g6/help/activated-sprint-ls993-mind-testing-t3598048/page2
This method worked for my LG-G5,G6 and V30+.. Keep in mind read your carries trems and conditions.. doing this hotspot hack can in some cases get you booted out of your contract .
Also i ,we, them are not responsible for any side effect , problems this method might,might not cause you or your device,
I haven't had the need in a couple years but I use to use pdanet to hide my teher usage on tmobile. Doesn't work for with tether but worked like a charm in USB mode (never tried bluetooth)
Edit: I think its free to try and the key was a couple of bucks years ago
Edit 2: and yes it works (or did last I needed it) without root

Unless somebody figured something out, TMobile found a way to detect that since the Nexus 6 days.

On Moto Quark with custom ROMs, I'm pretty sure T-Mobile customers have hot spot. I haven't heard any complaints.
I know I have it on AT&T. I also KNOW the custom ROM hotspot works on Verizon unlimited because many, many people have commented on it.
Quark (Droid Turbo XT1254, U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, Moto Turbo XT1225, Moto Maxx XT1225) was the "reasonable" sized Moto Nexus 6 (Shamu). Not official NEXUS but same manufacturer, 90% same specs, bigger battery.
This is from June 2017. He's using T-mobile Hot Spot on two different ROMs and saying one is FASTER than the other. But they both work.

@bhb27 so I did run the same download from same location using 2 separate phone. Phone A is droid turbo with RR and phone B is Droid turbo with CF stock (custom ROM). Downloading same app on tablet first with using phone A hotspot took 6 minutes to download. Switched to phone B hotspot and it took 30 seconds to download. Switched back to phone A hotspot and again, 6 minutes download. Went back to phone B and again 30 seconds. Went to download mumble .exe file from website and same results. There is clearly something with RR. I am going to try clean install with latest update.
Did clean install on the phone. Latest rev, latest kernel, latest gapps. Still ridiculously slow hotspot speed when using this phone.
Just as added info. Mind you both phones are operating exactly the same only difference is ROM. I am using droid turbo on T-Mobile network. But I set up APN and everything so it works and other phone is setup exactly same except CF made a T-Mobile variant whatever that is. Could whatever he did be making the hotspot work better using the T-Mobile line than RR? Time to go and install everything again

It's awesome if people are able to use unlimited hotspot again.

Most carriers include hotspot in the US. They just limit it because people abuse it if they don't.
PDA.net does work fine, but you can't use the wifi option - Nougat killed it and they said they wouldn't be working to update it. You're stuck using USB tethering which is fine if you only want to use it for a laptop or something. But otherwise, you're kind of stuck, waiting for a ROM to come out.
