Hi,
Good day to everyone.
Could you help out with a unit I bought which is a S2 SHW-M250K? I'm a residence in the Philippines but unfortunately the device is limited in certain features. Like creating a SMS is limited to 90 characters and thus prompts MMS not available. Upon the call feature, is always goes to autoroaming. Its really annoying and a hassle for me.
Is there a way I could totally reformat the whole system and install a new one that is compatible here in the Philippines or like the standard look of a S2 l9100?
If there is, could you give a step-by-step procedure cause I really don't know the "how-to" with phones, flash ROM or anything that pertains to his matter.
Hope for a assistance.
Thanks.

i have the same phone in the same country and i don't have either of your issues. the reason is because i flashed a stock i9100 rom to my shw m250k so now it's basically an i9100 phones with an antenna but doesn't have an fm radio. anyway, if you haven't tried flashing before i suggest you read up on some guides. there are some here and more can be found on google. i don't want to give you one myself in case your phone somehow gets bricked (almost impossible though) btw the rom i'm using is the european kg6 one. no issues at all
OT: since we have the same unit, i want to know how long your battery lasts. mine just barely touches 12hrs before it's completely drained, i don't know if it's an isolated case or if all m250k's are the same. i'm using a replacement 1800mah battery though, so that might be the reason. i just don't want to spend money on an original one yet just to find out it's the same story.
hi fyre31,
GREAT!!!! Really appreciate your technical advice on this predicament. Though I don't the "how-to's" on flashing or rooting on this device.
Haven't tried the unit yet but if ever I flashed it I'll give you a feedback on the battery thing.
Thanks again.

We have the same phone in the same country, regarding battery life, mine got 30 hours with the stock battery on normal use, I'm currently using LiteningRom v5.0
hmm guess i'm gonna have to get myself an original samsung battery then. thanks for sharing

yeah, I guess the rom and kernal is the main factor with regards to battery life, and also I forgot to mention, I disabled fast dormancy on *#9900# and wipe battery stats in recovery mode

flash another rom! go to sgsII android development, you can find a lot of custom roms out there with the "how-to" and step-by-step procedure, good luck!

You have no idea, this post of yours is my savior! I tried different roms and they caused my phone to have a boot loop. Now I have Lite'ning Rom v6.1 and it's rooted and has a custom rom without the bloatware in one go. Loving it so far!
For those who need help, these are the steps I followed (don't blame me if something goes awry on your phone though...)
Follow the steps here: http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04...ng-odin-and-superoneclick-step-by-step-guide/
Except! After Step 2, press the volume up button. And then On step 5, instead of the "XWKDD_insecure.tar", replace it with the latest Rom you can download in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274.
By the way, if it wasn't obvious, I have the same predicament as everyone else. I bought the phone before it was officially released in the Philippines, and it was imported from Korea. My phone has an antenna... and it serves nothing other than make my friends laugh because it makes the phone look like some cheap brand, haha My version had M250K before I installed the custom rom.
Okay, so I signed up for a T-Mobile contract here in the UK the other day, and the free phone on the contract was going to be a Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo. I didn't want this, so I bought a used HTC HD2, and planned to sell the Neo in brand new condition.
But I got a call from T-Mobile today telling me that the Neo has been discontinued, and that they could offer me a Motorola Atrix instead for the same price.
So basically, the HD2 arrives tomorrow, and the Atrix arrives on Monday, but I'm not sure which to keep. I was looking forward to trying out WP7 on the HD2, along with various different Android versions, and being able to compare them all. But at the same time, the Atrix gives me a faster CPU and GPU, more RAM, more internal storage, a higher resolution (but smaller) display, and other cool things. 4G doesn't make a difference since I don't think there are any 4G networks in the UK right now.
Anyway, how easy is it to root and flash custom ROMs with the Atrix (UK version, just called the Atrix instead of the Atrix 4G, if that makes a difference)? I'd quite like to just run a version of Gingerbread as close to stock as possible, because Moto Blur doesn't look great. Also, are there Sense ROMs for the Atrix?
What would you pick - the more flexible HD2 with the slightly larger screen (I love typing on my dad's Galaxy SII, one of the reasons I went for the HD2) or the faster and newer Atrix?
Thanks
As much as I respect and favor the HD2 (and HTC in general), I would have to go with the Atrix. Rooting the Atrix is pretty simple. See here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-motorola-atrix-4g-on-android-2-3-4-hktw/ . It's still your decision on which device you want. If you still want to experiment, then go with the HD2. If you want a faster device (like for gaming purposes [although the HD2 does play games pretty well]), then go for the Atrix.

Hm, it's proving a really difficult decision to make. Of course, I could just sell both the phones and buy something else.
Are there decent ROMs available for the Atrix which provide a more stock Android experience? Also, does it matter that it's not the US AT&T Atrix 4G and rather the UK/European Atrix model? Not sure if that makes a difference with this phone.
Thanks for your reply
It does matter if it's the USA/UK version for roms. It's said that all roms made for the UK Orange Atrix can work for the UK T-mobile one. You could try this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242721 .

Oh man, sometimes Android development seems so complicated. It took my a lot of reading to understand everything I needed to know about my G1. Seeing as I've got to make a fairly prompt decision, is there any chance you could summarise it a bit? I know the information will be available elsewhere on the forums but I don't have much time to read it.
What I'm really looking for is a fairly unmodified version of Gingerbread, with pretty much everything working (doubt I'll use the fingerprint scanner though LOL). But I want WiFi, 3G, GPS, the camera, etc. working. The dock functions aren't a biggie either.
Anyway, is there a simple, fairly basic ROM out there that would work for my UK version? Because I found this for the HD2 and I thought it looked awesome.
Thanks
I don't know of any like that for the Atrix. The HD2 has far more roms than the Atrix, with many more customizations, etc. Looks like this could make your choice easier .

Hm. I should be getting the HD2 tomorrow, and since it's already used I won't have an issue with opening it up and playing around with it over the weekend. So I guess I can form an opinion over the weekend about that, and if I decide that I'd have no use for the extra features of the Atrix, I can sell it once it arrives.
What about this though? Not sure if it would be AT&T only.
EDIT: Wait, that's not actually Gingerbread. Damn.

I got an HD2 used last week for an amazing price. I wanted to try out WP7's Mango release but not lose my data plan by putting my SIM into an AT&T branded device (which happened once and I got fixed).
WP7 works VERY well on the HD2, with the exceptions of extremely poor battery life and that WP7 hijacks the SD card and renders it unusable for other future uses. There is an app that can be sideloaded that will release the SD card though.
Anyway, I played with WP7 for bit and fell in love with it. I couldn't handle the short battery life (tried all of the tricks), so I freed up my SD card and installed CM7's latest Gingerbread 2.3.6. It works fantastically, and with decent battery life.
Where I'm going with this? The HD2 is not an AT&T device. If you have a TMO HD2 and want to unlock it for use on AT&T, you will not be able to use 3G. The two carriers operate on different UMTS bandwidths. That's a bummer.
So, keep that in mind about the HD2. If you don't get a model (non TMOU-US) that has the right 3G bands, you'll miss out on high speed data.
I'm in the process of putting HD2 up for sale and am going to try to get my hands on an ATRIX that I can root and tether with at 4G speeds.

I think it's a bit different over here in terms of which 3G bandwidths are used etc. but I'm not sure entirely. If the HD2 doesn't work on 3G then I'll have to find another phone.
I've received it now, anyway. So far it seems awesome - the hardware is excellent, the OS is not, but that will be changed soon enough.

No problem .
I really want to know when the latest .73 firmware for UK Xperia S will be released. Also if anyone currently running .73 would like to expand on battery life?
Well it's been a month tomorrow since it was released in singapore, other euro countries have got it. Sonymobile uk have said it is out but no one has confirmed they got it. So it might never come out. At this rate ICS may be out on the S before this patch get's released. I am using the NL generic using Flashtool and you can flash it without needing to root.

Hi dragon mate, is the NL .73 any better than the sg .73 ?
I find it better less bloat feels smooth just like SG. I use NL feels close to the invisible UK update.

I have not heard from many Orange users with the update it may have been leaked. Generic Uk XS users not got the update either.
Not sure. It came through and updated using the pc companion. The phone works fine as well. Not sure anything has changed apart from the firmware number though. Slightly better battery.
Apparently the .73 update had been released for t-mobile uk, can anyone confirm?

why there is not a rogers galaxy s3 section?? I love my galaxy s3 but I feel left alone because there is no rom for us fellow canadians!!
Isn't there any good canadian programmer on this site here?? Would be nice to take a few roms (phamtom blazer rom) which is suppose to have excellent battery life and do the change to make it works for us! I don't know maybe it is really complicated to make it work for different carrier.
Or maybe someone with rogers could point me to a rom that works on his galaxy with better battery life, other then the stock rom!
I did a few change on the custom, turning off data when not needed,turning off lte and other little change and battery life is already much better.

Dude the rogers Siii is exactly the same as the att one, everything is the same besides the fact that rogers added an "m" to their model name where att did not. Anything made for the att version will work on the rogers one, meaning roms, kernels recoveries anything. you name it.
Just go try all the att version roms till you find one you like (some roms are even made using the rogers firmware as a base, kyanrom is one i think), not to mention cm9, aokp etc also exist.

Eburon 2.1 - I like the color and no more white only icons and task bar; the settings sell the ROM! He also baked in several Nokia apps; I thought 2.0 was great; this is sweet!

both have their advantages and disadvantages. I prefer ultrashots (dynamics) due to the extra custom tweaks + the clock hub used.
HOWEVER, Eburoms rom is very appealing with extra colors/themes/accents. Like Berry said...the settings do sell the rom.
As an off the grid cooker myself, both roms are almost flawless. I don't think my own roms could ever match the quality and care they put in their roms...seriously. -lol
Anyway, if flashing roms becomes addicting to you like it did to me back in the day, you will eventually flash both roms to see for yourself!
thank u for youre opinions, i couldnt hold myself so i flashed from the eburom to dynamics, and i must say that both of them seems great, but i prefer the dynamics version, because it looks/feels more like the outof the box 7.8 version, with some great tweaks.. hopefully a 2.1 of the dynamics will still be uploaded even though he sais in his post that he will stop after that.
had a lumia 900 which i flashed with the "official" 7.8 rom from the nokia servers .. but both eburom and dynamics beets the hell out of it

I tried both; I prefer Dynamics, because of its "factory" feel.
And because it integrates the Nokia Drive app!
Excellent (free) sat nav.
I have not been able to find a decent sat nav app for WP7.anything apart from Nokia Drive, so I went back to Dynamics from Eburon.
I love the look of the Eburon ROM, though...

All common free nokia apps are integrated in eburon rom since version 2.1 - also nokia drive. But I 've also tried dynamics - its also a very great rom. But I like some more color in rom, this was one of the reasons I started with cooking and sharing roms. Really curious what ultrashot will put in his next version.
sorry for maybe beeing a bit offtopic, but is there a way to add/install nokia version of viber? Stock viber is without call option and a bit poor in function but i am not able to find/download/install nokia viber ( with a lot of more function). Using Eburon 2.1 and it works absolutely perfect with all integrated nokia apps

I'm somewhat curious to know what the official HTC Titan I update is to be relative to the custom ROMs. I've got bets there will be more than a few customized 7.8 ROMs this upcoming weekend...if this is all that it is advertised to be why in the world did it take this long, I do not know. What I'd give to have Skype baked into the darn thing but that's wishful thinking. I won't update to 8.x until XDA has something more definitive on if it can be HSPL and customized and then what device it can be done on.

What I'd give to have Skype baked into the darn thing but that's wishful thinking. I won't update to 8.x until XDA has something more definitive on if it can be HSPL and customized and then what device it can be done on.

A little off topic...I wouldn't hold your breath on this one... HTC tweeted me a couple of days ago that atm there are no plans to release a 7.8 update for the Titan/HD7. It is just speculation that Nokia is the only OEM rolling out the update tomorrow...no one else. HTC also tweeted me that if there was an update, it wouldn't be rolled out till ~March.
If it indeed is true and the Titan (or more than one device) doesn't receive an official 7.8 update, I'm afraid I might have to part ways with HTC for my next device. It only goes to show that Nokia is the true OEM that really cares for WP. I may have an unlocked device that I can install custom roms on, but there are plenty of others -especially on ATT that are still on 7720 that have the disappearing keyboard problem...my father included. And yes it is extremely frustrating!
Anyway, but yea I don't think we'll see many more custom roms. I was curious to see about the official update myself as I was waiting to build a custom rom off that to use with the 16 radio.
