Simple new to device questions - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this the right forum for the Samsung Galaxy S2 thats for t-mobile? What rom is fast, great battery life, and is stable for the Samsung Galaxy S2 for t-mobile? Which known rom has the longest battery life at the moment? I'm coming from a samsung vibrant as well, and I was wondering is flashing and rooting the same for the Samsung Galaxy S2?

If you have the T989 US T-mobile version, here is the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329

whata bummer, already downloaded a rom, umm alright thank you!

your welcome, good thing you didn't flash it yet. That wouldn't have turned out good.

thanks again, cya around xda

Is it a good buy?

I am thinking of buying the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Is it a good buy?
What are the drawbacks/quirks?
How is battery life?
Are there good stable custom ROMs for it or are you still better of with stock?
Would I be better off buying something else? Any suggestions?
There are plenty of them already discussed with the same queries.
Please do a 'Search'.
Regards.
I did with virtual no filtering,probably 80% of existing threads show up in most of the searches.
Please, do search via google: xda "what-ever-you-need"

Seriously need searching dude.
But, here's my take.
Good to buy
Battery last 12 hours for medium usage. Could you last longer or shorter depending on self
If you want an article of custom roms, check my siggy.
Definitely custom over stock.

From HD-2 to Galaxy s II T989.....

So sadly I ported from the hd2 to a galaxy s II and I have read some threads and I have managed to root phone and added cwm to the phone after reading for a 2 day period I take the plunge to ask for some help I want to change to a new rom with better battery life and with less bloat ware on the phone but I really don't want to brick phone or loose some of its cool features I know this question has probably bean asked but I see nothing for the T989 on T-mobile any or some help will be really appreciated thank you in advance....................
This forum is for the international version, if you keep looking on the XDA forums home page there is a separate forum for the T-Mobile t989
On that note thread closed.

Need some advice

I am currently using the Samsung infuse 4g on rogers network in Canada... I am little tired of this phone cause I like CM7 but can't have BT if I use it... I saw an ad for a white Samsung galaxy s2 that is unlocked and rooted... Is that a good phone with a lot of devs and stuff like that? Is it a good phone as well? I have heard it was but not sure if they were right... If this is the wrong place for this then please can someone direct me there? Thanks
Yep, it's a pretty good phone. Look its Dev Forum

Receiving T-Mobile Galaxy S II (SGH-T989) Have Some Questions

Hey guys,
HTC Sensation recently broke and Asurion is sending me a Galaxy S II. It was either that or an HTC Amaze and since I wasn't impressed with the Sensation I opted not for the Amaze but S II rather. Couple of questions I have though as I am pressed for time at work right now and don't have the time to search. So here goes:
Can someone point me to how to root it once it arrives?
Are the ICS ROMs stable and which bugs does it contain?
The S II uses CWM recovery correct?
The T-Mobile S II is the SGH-T989 and not this I9100 model I have been seeing right?
That's all I can think of for now. Anything other useful tips or advice I'd greatly appreciate it! I feel happy to be a part of the S II family now. It seems like a really good device that I will be happy with. Thanks again!

[Q] Advice on ROM

Hi Guys, just seeking advice and possible quick answer to my question...
I have a UK Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE Variant (2Gb Ram) and I am looking for a KitKat Rom with MHL Support.
I understand I could find this information by looking through the forums but I am quite busy at the moment and any help would be appreciated.
I was a keen user of stock 4.1.2, and then moved to Omni Rom... but due to lack of MHL Support I require for my AppRadio I had to switch back to 4.1.2... and luckily not to soon later 4.3 came out for the SG3 from Samsung... but the battery drain is a lot worse than Omni Rom...
So yeh any advice guys?

maybe you should ask it in the I9305 Q&A section . what makes you assume that other people are not busy?
I got only a I9300, hence cannot point you to any rom, sorry.
