samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket

Hello all...i've tried everything to try to bring my old S2 I727 back from the half-dead but just can't figure it out. Quick backstory. GF's kid wanted a phone so we gave him an old S2 I727 with CM10 (or 9 can't remember) on it for service with Cricket. One day the phone just quit on him and it...

Hello, I'm using a gs2 skyrocket running 4.3.1 cm10.2. I'm also using LG HBS750 earbuds. Everything seems right, but no sound comes through the headphones. Before this, I was having problems syncing my Fitbit device, which was solved with installing a zip file to enable BLE on the device...

I have a samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket from which I would like to remove a gmail account. So I go to Settings, Accounts and Sync, then select the gmail account, then I select the "Remove account". But it keeps stating that "Account required by some applications ...". I don't want to do a factory...

I wiped my phone while messing with it. Now it has no OS so it can't be launched and all the downloads for the OS haven't worked. Please help. Phone is a galaxy S2 SGH-1727R. Just a link to a tutorial would be great. I'm going to keep looking in the meanwhile.

Like the title says I only have 2g data while on mobile. I have re-flashed CyanogenMod 10.2. If I try to move to another network it is not allowing me to download or upload anything. I cannot even bring up a website. Wifi works but no 3G or LTE. I'm running the latest skyrocket radio as well...

My Skyrocket just installed an OTA update from AT&T. It's still on Android 4.1.2, so what was in this update for such an "old" phone?

Sorry if this is the wrong section, I couldn't find the specific forum for the phone version I have (Straight Talk/Tracfone) Hi, let me preface this by saying I am an idiot. For a good time my phone has been having issues and I've mostly just been procrastinating trying to deal with them, or...

I upgraded to jelly bean the other day with the kies software. All seemed fine initially however as soon as I unplugged my phone from the computer and then unlocked the screen, the touch screen calibration was off. When I touch the lock screen and don't move my finger it sees exactly where I'm...

I had my Skyrocket in my pants pocket, and it went through the washing machine. I'm happy to report my Skyrocket is squeaky clean, and ALMOST everything works. Except I have no network. It is as if the GSM Radio is shut off.. I get no error when the sim is removed, or not put in properly. The...

Wondering if anyone has an idea about a camera problem with my phone. When I go to the camera, everything loads except the buttons. I've waited for up to a minute for the control buttons to show, but they will not, and even the bottom row of controls where the home and back button are located...

I recently dropped my phone into water. I was able to save the battery and the rest of it, and it is working fine. The only problem it is giving me is that whenever I click the home button, it takes me to some default screen that isn't my personal home screen with all of my applications. The...

Hello, I posted this in the XDA forum a couple of weeks ago, but with no success in finding a solution, so I realized I should post it on your forum and any others that might have members with similar experience. I would really appreciate any replies. Thanks in advance: I have searched and...

Hey guys recently my galaxy s2 has been giving me and my family some strange problems. The keypad won't write anyways in swype or regular typing, and sometimes the active applications widget just won't open. More annoyingly, sometimes I would press the button to call someone, and nothing would...

Anyone else having this issue? I have 4 bars of 4g LTE service

I am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a stable ROM for the skyrocket? I was using the stock JB ROM but it was too bloated and sluggish, even after rooting and removing bloatware. I recently triedbout the latest kitkat CM nightly , but it was glitchy. I am now running SuperNexus for...

Well, I've had my Skyrocket since Jan 2012 and it has mostly been a positive experience. Recently, I've been having a problem with the forward facing camera on my phone and getting the message "Camera Failed". I also feel like the phone was considerably slower and it had become irritating...

I don't understand why the device memory is limited to 2GB whenever every app is installed there first. The only reason I am able to still have most of my games is due to my SD card. Some games can't even be moved to the SD Card! On the other hand, the USB storage has 11GB which is used for...

Hi, Trying to pass on my Skyrocket to a friend. I had it unlocked with a code provided by AT&T. When the T-Mobile Sim from their phone was inserted, everything looked good. Signal, messaging, calls all good. When trying to get on the internet, no go. The Skyrocket has the latest software...

Has anyone tried any of the 'unofficial' Kitkat upgrades that are available? I know that Samsung and Android aren't doing a release for the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket but I've found a variety of operating systems that I can install that claim they provide the Android 4.4.2 Kitkat experience. I can't...

Hi everybody, I am a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket user. Yesterday I flashed stock android 2.3.5 just to check some performance and old apps. Today I went back to stock android 4.1.2 and I see something unusual with rotating. When I flip my phone to landscape, it rotates very smoothly and quickly, but...

I had my S2 unlocked by AT&T when the contract expired (I moved to a Note 3). I have used the S2 internationally with local SIMs for phone calls and 3G access without problems. However, I recently tried to use it as a hot spot and received a message (I don't have the exact wording) saying that...

Okay. I rooted my i727 (JB 4.1.2). Now I want to uninstall all the bloatware. The question is, what is Bloatware. Of course, anything that comes from AT&T is, but what else? There are several apps from Samsung on my phone that look like bloatware as well, but I am not sure. Is there a...

My dad gave me a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket I727, and I am enjoying it except for the battery life. I have been researched and turned off everything I can think of that might drain the battery fast. My dad has a mpj battery as spare, but it disappeared. Would a new battery help? If possible I would buy...
