While there are some newer and nicer phones offered, nothing in the near future is worth ponying up around $400+. My S2 does everything I want. Any other thoughts?

Woke up this morning to a weird notification message. The app was Boost Zone and message was roughly 'money trasnf ...' Upon clicking the notification, Boost Zone opened up and I had an error message. I saw money transfer options in Boost Zone but: I do not have any bank account associated...

This will change your S2 to Sprint bloatware instead of Boost; many of us are already running GB27. Find and update the software on your Samsung Galaxy S II edit: AF article: http://phandroid.com/2013/03/28/epic-4g-touch-jelly-bean/

My alarm didn't go off today, an interesting lockup situation. Methinks it is my fault for not rebooting my phone recently; I think I will start a 2* a week reboot schedule.

My Prevail is no longer on my Boost account, someone please test this for me. VisualVoicemail.apk edit: updated link to T5.3.0.32

Dang if the Nexus4 didn't come out around 6 weeks after I bought my SGS2, and for less $. Sure the N4 has no SD support but the specs are sweet on the tongue and enuff GSM no-contract plans ... sigh.

I have been testing Miui 2.10.12 and here are some of my impressions. Positives: - Jellybean 4.1.2 - No bloat, a 156MB zip file + 5MB update zip - Built in CPU under-clocking utility - Long pressing home key brings recent app killer; tells amount of memory freed - There is an app permission...

The Lakers benefit the most from the horrible reffing. I have seen a number of links to YouTube videos, great example 2010 Game 7 going into the fourth quarter I think the Celtics had a 4 point lead. Lakers got (I think) 21 FTA, Celtics 1. Pau Gasol alone was not called for an out-of-bounds...

My post was more a commentary on the NBA pushing the Lakers/Heat than me endorsing small market teams. The media has a field day with NFL replacements refs, and NO way MLB would get away with it, but for some reason the media doesn't slam the VERY jaded reffing in the NBA.

I am a lifelong NBA fan who had the pleasure of seeing Bird, Johnson, Kareem, Moses and Erving compete (tho I was very young). I have to say that I have really lost it for the NBA and I refuse to give a cent to the league anymore, and I have gone to many games in the past. The league hands...

Hi guys. I thought I would let you all know that we are building a good forum section in the Boost S2 area. Our sticky Beginners' Guide to Boost Galaxy S2 and Repository has some great links to things like custom ROMs, removing bloatware, adding stock Google apps to custom ROMs, etc. Since...

For anyone looking for the stock Google apps you can find them wholesale at Goo.im Downloads - Browsing gapps. These come in a packaged flashable zip. "Google Apps packages are not cross-compatible with other major Android versions. For example, the 20120224 pack for Ice Cream Sandwich...

Thought I would pass this on, our Boost S2 is still considered a great phone by a source that reviewed the iPhone5 in a fair and impartial manner. iPhone 5 review: iPhone 5 review | Phone Reviews | TechRadar #6 Galaxy S2 #3 iPhone 5 #1 Galaxy S3 Top 20 phones: 20 best mobile phones in...

The Boost Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 is a mid-level Android 4.0.4 CDMA/WiMax phone relabeled from the Sprint Epic 4G Touch. After rooting the Boost S2 can use any Epic Touch 4G ROM. Tips: 1. Read threads/posts (** SEARCH **) and test sufficiently; many question are already answered in posts...
