Couple of Questions ? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

hey guys, ill explain my situation.
I have a Galaxy s2 LTE on Rogers, I flashed the att 2.3.6 stock rom and everything seems good except for a couple of things.
1. When i do a speed test in a LTE area and i am connected to LTE i only get 2-4 mbs down.
2. I want to use the stock messaging app, but when i text all of my messages are on the bottom and my friends are all on the top, before it was like a conversation style.
3. Probably most important, my battery is just terrible, before on 2.3.5 rogers i was usually 50 percent at the end of the day with juice defender and 3/4brightness and now i drain fully within 4 hours. I have deleted battery stats so should i reflash the rom?
Any answers to the questions will be much appreciated.

Furthermore if i go back to the rogers version does anyone now how to get the tw launcher and messaging app for the att version. The att touchwiz you can edit which homescreen is the default and it is better

1. Are you sure you're on LTE? Did you enter the proper Rogers APN?
2. The timestamp is messed up. You can use the 'SMS time fix' app in the market.
3. Can't help you here.

Getting Samsung Infuse - Some Questions

Okay guys, so I have decided to sell my nexus s and get the samsung infuse 4g. Some questions I need to ask -
1) I read the specs and found that this phone didn't get the gingerbread upgrade. So if I root this phone and flash a 2.3.6 ROM, I can definitely upgrade it but will I get the TOUCHWIZ 4.0 launcher??
2) How good is the battery for you guys?

battery life is consistantly decent but not exceptional. as an example of what i mean. my captivate could go about 3 days if i ran it down completely but i could also run it down in one day with a lot of web browsing. my infuse seems to last longer under use but i never see the 60+ hours under light use like my captivate.
also you can run the tw 4.5 launcher with no modifications. there may need to be a framework mod and some .jar or .so files needed for the stock tw4 launcher. also not all the funtions of tw4.5 are 100%. lanscape mode can cause crashes last i used it. but if you stick to a conventional setup (4x4 home screen, no weird options) it works pretty good. but the infuse launcher seems to be needed for hdmi support at least on froyo. i havent changed it on 2.3.6 to test it yet. if you dont want hdmi you can run a custom kernel built off 2.3.3 rogers sources with few issues and any launcher you want.

[Q] Any good ICS solution for Rogers users as of April 2nd?

I've read through the threads on all the forums, and nothing definitive yet. Also things are changing so fast over the last few days, I figured this needed asking.
I'm hearing people say that some of the zip cooked ROMs can be installed on the 727R but only if you have the leak installed first with ODIN.
When I go through the leaked ROM thread, it says it doesn't work on Roger's Skyrockets.
So is there any way to take a stock, or non-stock GB ROM and get either the leaked ROM or a cooked ROM onto a 727R?
Thanks
This works on Rogers. I flashed this from stock rooted Rogers GB.

but to be honest my battery has been draining alot with this leak. also seems alot unstable atm. i know go ahead bash me but ive tried every rom to see if it would settle or be stable. but none so far and im just wondering if this leak is a problem for canadians or for "rogers" especially.
i didn't see anything about rogers incompatibility in this thread?

+1 today it's been unstable for me a lot and the battery leak is still happening
I think there may be slight differences between the Skyrocket & Rogers version, that only Samsung know about.
One only has to look at the Samsung Focus 1.3 & 1.4 revisions. Both are identical except for a minor difference, but it caused major headaches for MS when pushing updates. It wouldn't surprise me if Samsung does the same on the Android side.
So with this leak your running an unfinished ROM, & one that may not be intended for your revision of hardware
i think that could very well be true. because of this battery drain 2-3% every less than half hour is like does this rom really feel it should be like this. also reboot issues, rom hanging in here & there, its not about the "work-around" but actual work seems very unstable. their devs are even soo stupid that when i ripped dialer.apk they spelled dailer in 1 of the imgs rather then dialer..it made me laugh soo hard..

I've tried this version, Mostly worked ok but my caller ID stopped working?
I'm a newb so I can't post over there to find out if anyone else saw the same issue... maybe I did something wrong but everything else seemed to be great?
Thank you everyone for responding. Gonna wait a few days and see how this plays out for Rogers uses. Hope other Rogers users post results here.
If you are on Rogers, flash the thing from the second post then flash any of the other ICS ROMs.
GB-->ICS works
I used ICSMOD5 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566820
What I did:SGH-i727R
My ROM was running Malice from T989, with Streamline Kernel.
1)Backup!
2)Factory Reset
3)Advanced - Wipe Dalvik
4)Manual reset: - Mounts and storage, Format system,data & cache
5)Flash UCLA4 ICS radio
6)Flash the ICSMOD5_wipe version
7)Boot
8)Wait...wait even more...don't panic...
9)Enjoy
Everything including data and gps, and time issues were okay.
On the apex launcher, the messenger icon is bonked, just remove the shortcut and put the messaging shortcut again.
Wifi Tether: Starts up via toggle mod, can set password and stuff, computer connects to it but no data goes thru.
Will report back on battery use and possible issues.
So far so good.

Flash this modem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24140728&postcount=5
Then type *#2263# into the Phone and Select "[4] LTE Band Preference" then "[7] LTE ALL". Once you get an LTE signal, then type *#2263# again and this time Choose "[1] Automatic" and it should work.
I've had to do this a few times, but I have gotten stable LTE on all the ICS builds so far.

confirm ICS-SUPERLITE 5.1 on Rogers Galaxy S2 I727
I like to endorse the custom ROM ICS-SUPERLITE 5.1 on Rogers Galaxy S2 I727. it is a SUPER ROM, improves the battery life, smooth, uncluttered and simple to install. mhx did a fabulous job.
ICS-SUPERLITE 5.1 is fantastic!

+ 1, actually this has become my daily driver. There are some quirks as in callerid coming in from a telus cell but other than that everything else is solid. Also got lte to kind of work but it's just been started to get setup in my area lol.

I've been running Smooth Ice for almost 2 weeks with no issues. The first ROM I used to upgrade from GB was the one just called 'Working Rogers ICS ROM', or something like that. I used Superlite and then went to Smooth Ice and have no complaints.
well not to put my team's rom up. but if you use our rom after we're gonna update today you are not gonna wanna leave it =).. you think you had enough with other roms. haha you have seen nothing yet.

Signal issues.

I'm sure there is a topic for this somewhere... or not. The signal on my phone at home is really spotty. Wasn't too bad before fp5 but it is almost unreliable now. I will have 2 or 3 bars, then i will get an (x) over the signal bars. Then it will jump back up, then disappear. Tried wiping cache and dalvik, and toggling CDMA and CDMA/LTE all of this helped a little bit... I was wondering if there is something I can do to make my phone hold the signal? I am pretty good with editing build prop files and recently have looked into dialer codes (very interesting).

is this your cell signal or data?
from my understanding, the FP5 update displayed lower cell signals.
also, has your call quality dropped? if so, then perhaps you have an issue, if not, then it's just a display/read thing.

are you dropping calls or experiencing any noises during calls? if not, then you're probably fine. but if you're like, you probably talk on the phone less than 5% of the time
I had terrible reception using fp5 modems and fp5 stock kernel on 2.2. So bad that I went back to fp1 kernel and modems......all things are great now.....I never was happy with fp5 radios in Nashville area.....

FP5 has been a big improvement for me. However I still suffer with terrible signal issues at my work place. I'm thinking about complaining to Verizon but I have a couple questions:
1. Do I stand a chance of getting any help?
2. How is the best way to go about it?

What's the general consensus on the JB leak?

I know the leak is out there in the dev section, but I'm having trouble getting a feeling or consensus on the quality of the rom. In particular, I'm most concerned with battery life and general crashing/incompatibilities that might occur going about basic operations. Anyone care to share their experience so far? Is it more worth waiting til Jan/Feb when I'm guessing Verizon might finally release JB?

I've been running the CleanRom ULE version of this since the day it was posted and love it. Quite noticeably faster and smoother than ICS. GPS lock is faster than it ever was on ICS. Mobile data is the same as it was - I'm in a pretty good 4G area and have no problems. One thing I have noticed is that Wifi is pickier when I'm on the fringe of the signal. Some places where I used to be able to connect, I can't any more. But if I'm in a stronger signal area it's just fine.
I hate that my notification bar isn't straight black. It's like, off black but not quite grey.

Lol, I thought I was the only one who cared about that.....kinda annoys me.
Other than that, it runs super great for me. I was on it for the first three days or so, but needed my cm10 fix again. Its so good that I usually spend about half my week cm10, half on one of the jb leaks.

VRBLI5 JellyBean is better in certain areas and worse in others compared to ICS...overall I would give it a slight edge. I bet the official update will polish things up a bit. You have to remember the JB leak is dated oct. 8th. There was a reason it did not make it as a official ota...its still pretty good for a leak, definately not complaining by anymeans. :good:
The one from incubus hadn't given me a single problem yet. I think my battery life actually improved. After about 11 hrs yesterday mine was still at 30% (Bluetooth on, brightness up).
I think it's great. I'm using Synergy, which I think is excellent (always has been). If you use this ROM, you should also flash the radio update (I5) and RPM (power management) update. The radio is definitely improved - I'm not having my calls constantly dropped anymore in below-average signal locations!! Very happy with this update.
I flashed the Incubus RLS11 yesterday and it ran fine for a while. Things were smooth. Didn't notice any problems.
I'm in the sticks but I get pretty good LTE. To make sure I don't lose it when I need it I use the Phone Info app to go LTE only. That worked great on stock or stock-rooted-unlocked. It even worked good on CM10 and AOKP-M1. But for some reason on the Incubus ROM I started having real problems.
I tried forcing LTE only which would work for a few seconds and then would switch back automatically to the default LTE/CDMA/EvDo. After playing around with it some more it got stuck in CDMA auto (PRL) for a while and then GSM auto (PRL) and then EvDo only. It was really weird. I got tired of messing with it so I restored my stock image.
I didn't do the radios or RPM which was probably my problem. The links on the page I got the rom from were dead.
I'll try again, just didn't want to fool with it last night. Other than the radio issue it was real smooth. I'm a freak, I kinda really like TouchWiz. I was on stock or CM or KANG so much on my GNex, I'm enjoying the skinned experience. The biggest thing I miss from the GNex is JB though.
Been running JellyWiz RLS12 all week and it's been great. Battery life is same it was stock. Some have had issues with battery, but if you read through the thread for that ROM, I believe there are fixes. The only issue I have that is unresolved is I am not able to play movies or tv back through the Google Play Movies and TV app. The phone just reboots. Not a big deal for me right now, and Google Now easily makes up for it.
I have been running the lastest leak for two days now, the biggest changes I noticed, are the following
1. the Driving mode on/off toggle seems to have been removed from the pulldown bar, but driving mode itself is still there. (I downloaded a home screen widget to turn it on and off quickly)
2. The entire phone itself, from games, to movies, to youtube videos seems.....smoother and more refined (I blame Project Butter)
3. Slight battery life improvement :good:
4. if you use facial unlock, they moved the camera bypass from bottom to top right corner
My only complaint so far is that when I get a text message, missed call, voicemail I get the "Swipe over Icon to view the missed event" alert.
Don't get me wrong those nice little alerts help introduce to you new features of the phone. I don't mind them once or twice, but this specific one on the lock screen, I can't get rid of. Any ideas?

Under the wireless (WIFI) settings you have to disable "Avoid poor connections"..should help that

Have the same hotspot issues but otherwise it's pretty smooth. Very quick and yes I know everyone says that but it's not a placebo. I even put my phone back to stock because I need foxfi and it is considerable slower... Not slower but just not as quick to respond

Running Cleanrom 4.5 that is JB- Battery is awesome, rom feels fast and smooth.
These are the item I found wrong with the latest JB leak: (at least on my phone)
After an alarm goes off and you try and lock your phone, it won't lock. The screen will turn off but won't stay off. You have to unlock your phone to home screen then relock it.
New Samsung keyboard was incredibly laggy.
When trying to delete an extra home screen the phone would lock up and then say "touchwiz home has stopped working."
I don't think this was a bug but to get to the task manager, I had to hold down the home button for like 5 seconds!
There was another thing but I can't remember it. I was running the untouched leak, via Odin. I went back to stock.

Use without cellular and get speed with life?

First off, I am new to Android devices.
I got a Nexus S 4g, and I really only wan to play games on it. I have AT&T, and got this used phone for free. So, instead of getting an Android tablet, I have a phone I can play with.
This includes flashing things as it's already unlocked!
So, I really only want three things (other the stability) if possible, the ability to turn off cellular usage and keep WIFI on, good performance for apps, and battery life.
Any suggestions on what Android OS to be running (ICS or JB) and a ROM & Kernel combination that would work? I have played around with a number of them, but I can't seem to notice any real difference.
I can and already have flashed a number of things, including having to flash the Android open source JB because of being stuck with Clockwork recovery not allowing a USB mount and the phone not booting from trying JellyBam.
Got TWRP on, and I'm happy with it. I also got an extended battery at 1850mAh.

Yup...I noticed they mentioned in the OP they wanted to use att service, so in that circumstance this wouldn't work. But as you said, it will work with WiFi. That's what I'm doing with mine. I ordered my N4 this morning and I'll keep the ns4g as a dev device.

CyanogenMod 10. It is fast and stable on the Nexus S4g.
Use without cellular and get speed eith life?
Type *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer and it will open a testing menu. Open phone info and scroll down and turn off radio. Now the cellular radio will not operate at all or use any battery, so your battery life will jump quite a bit. Also some roms have a function to hide the radio signal indicator. As an added bonus, you can use google voice and grooveIP to make and recieve phone calls and texts over a wifi connection for free!
Edit: this works on every rom I have tried.

True, but the battery died in about 2 hours of WiFi usage. When I got the phone, it had CM9 RC2 on it already. That's with trying a couple different kernels and setting the CPU to "On Demand". It wasn't worth it.

I went into there, and it already said it was off. I guess turning off cellular data kills the radio as well.

I was simply saying that I don't want the radio on because I am on AT&T. I should have explained that because I can't use it, I would rather disable it so it's not using any of the battery.

Oddly enough, I have had SlimBean RC2 preform random reboots. It's a shame as it seemed to go so well and I really liked the custom DPI settings.
Update : Seems that I had something of an improper flash. I used TWRP and ran multiple flashes in a row.
I ran it again, and flashed the ROM, restarted into recovery, flashed GApps inverted, repeated, and flashed the Matr1x CFS kernel.
Is there a way to replace the per-installed Holo launcher? I like the Nova Launcher as it seems to use less RAM and I can have everything with a cube animation. If possible, I would like to remove the Holo HD Launcher as I have no need for it.

You can use titanium backup to push nova to system and then freeze holo if you like or ever remove it.
I have found after replacing the launcher, SlimBean has become unstable. Every so often, it crashes and reboots. Aside from re-flashing, any other advise?
Also, the battery life seems to be just so so. I tried the kernel included and Matr1x 25.
AOKP with Matr1x seems to be rather stable and ok with the battery.

Just thought I would post a screenshot of the battery meeter so you all know what I can get.
