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...

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...

While I think Boost wanted $70 or so too much for the S2 I have to say I am digging this phone. I can actually type on the keyboard and hit my keys, no slowdown during use, and ICS/JB ROMs available. While my beloved Prevail now sits in a place of honor waiting for the S2 to hiccup, I can...

Anyone have an image of SGS2 Boost stock ICS? I went to CM10 too quickly and would like to have a stock image saved. edit: Been searching Android Forums and XDA and don't see any.

I seem to be bootlooping on my shiny new Boost SGS2 after installing CWM and SU. I can get to CWM6 without issue but cant boot, the CM10 aqua circle just keeps spinning.

I am finally getting serious about upgrading my Prevail and I see that the EVO Design (Boost) can be bought right now for $230. Obvious differences memory and single core processor aside, what are any shortcomings of the Design? I see talk about battery life, is that better under custom ROMs...

Heavy Usage but good battery life.

Havent done a ton of pulls, but getting over 2k when i never got over 1800 before, not sure I am in a hurry to get a 4G phone. Odinned FE16 over CTMod 3.6 FA19 Last pulll 2132 kbps :)

Been more about Android malware/Trojan horses in the news lately. I am wondering if anyone has used Norton security on their Prevail and their opinions/experience. Also please post about any good anti-virus. Do these slow Prevail or run-down battery life? edit: I run Norton...
