samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket

Is there a code or something you can enter into an i727 to tell if it is unlocked (carrier unlocked)? I don't have a sims card from another carrier or know someone who does either. Thanks

My phone was running poorly a few weeks ago, so I did a factory reset. After which, this error displays constantly on the lock screen. The only threads I can find relating to this error are over a year and a half old, with no real answers. Suggestions range from turning off and back on...

I bought an i727 off ebay for my wife. It was listed as, Brand New, Unopened, Undamaged. I got it yesterday and it looks really nice and as far as I can tell it was new, but it does not work right. When I first got it, I transfered my wifes sims from her old phone to it. The phone worked...

I'm going to give my S2 away and want to wipe the data. Everything is already backed up onto my PC. I've several questions about the process. 1. I plan to do a factory reset. To keep the data secure, I've come across a suggestion to encrypt the phone first. Necessary or not? 2. Once the...

For some reason when my phone is in standby the notification and ringtone sounds echoed or choppy. It does not do this when the phone is awake and I am using it. Any idea what is causing this?

I have a GSII Skyrocket. The Touchwiz interface was turned on by accident and now I cannot turn it off and I cannot access the phone. It says I have to double tap icons and and swipe to access the phone but will not work. Before the phone locked it would not scroll within settings to let me turn...

HI, I just flashed the Carbon Rom 4.4.2 rom on my S2, and I've got a few problems I need help with. First I had to search google on my pc and download an .apk for a keyboard because the stock android keyboard kept force closing, so often it was hard to even click on something before it would...

Ok so I have the SGH-I727 aka Skyrocket and sometimes I face this problem. When I turn on the screen,it actually turns on but the brighness is higher than normal and it actually doesn't respond to any touch and I cant swipe to unlock it. So I press the button again and the screen goes normal...

I just uograded from an S2 and was surprised to dind that the Skyrocketvdoes not have the Google Local app. I use the heck out of this app. How can I get it back?

I've had my Skyrocket for over 2 years. This just started happening a couple weeks ago: My phone's screen will go dark (if it wasn't already), and it will start vibrating a number of times, and then either shut off or restart on its own, or continue vibrating until I press the power button a...

I have noticed lately that Media Scanning runs a lot, and for a long time. It seems to happen mostly when I move pictures from folder to folder. It starts "Media Scanning...SD" then "Media Scanning...USB storage" and sticks there for a loooong time. Any advice out there? My phone still has...

My AT&T contract is up in a few days and I'd like to get the phone unlocked so I can use it for other things in the future. So what is actually involved in getting an "unlock code" and how does it get entered into the phone? Even if I end up going to an AT&T store and have them do it, what is it...

I'm on ATT's GO Phone network and for some reason I can't receive texts from companies that need me to verify my phone number through SMS (Uber, Facebook, Twitter, ect). Even services like ChaCha can't get through. Is there some way to allow these to reach me?

I have the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (SGH - i727) After updating to Jelly Bean, some apps are no more included. I would like to know if I can get Social Hub again. I tried installing the apk file. It did installed but crashes immediately after you open it. Some say you can find apps like social hub...

I am wondering if the is a rugged waterproof case for my S2 (at&t)? I have looked and looked and all I can find is these plastic bags. That is not what I want. I want something like an Otterbox for the Iphone. A rugged waterproof box that specifically design for the Skyrocket. Does such a thing...

I updated my phone to Androd 4.1.2 JB via ODIN almost a month ago. I really like it,the interface and everything but it looks to me that my phone was performing a bit better before the update. I check my Ram status and after clearing memory the used ram will never go less than 600mb and I dont...

Hi, I got the I727 recently, and I noticed that it is a phone made for ATNT, but I got it as an unlocked phone. I am going to be using it with Tmobile, so I am wondering if this will have any effect with the battery life? Because I have noticed that the battery drains 4-5% in an hour. Thanks

I have to admit that I regret buying my Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE Skyrocket and here's why... The Skyrocket was released in November of 2011 (at least by Rogers Wireless in Canada). I bought mine in Jan 2012 and within 3 months the Galaxy S3 was released and the S2 LTE fell into obscurity. This...

I purchased a new Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket on eBay and got it about a week ago. I live in Europe, but the phone is unlocked so I can use it. It came updated with android 4.0.4 ICS. Now I know that it can be updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 but when I connect it to Kies, it says that is not...

I looked at the the other threads around here, and didn't find anything helpful. Samsung Skyrocket, running CM Kitkat 4.4 nightlies right now. Before that I was on a JellyBean AOKP rom. *neither* one of them seems to be able to connect to my bluetooth keyboard, or my new bluetooth controller...

I recently rooted my phone in order to set up a new plan. The root went fine, had no problems, it's been a few days. Today I got a SIM card and a refill card to set up a new 'plan'. The SIM card is a nano, and my phone takes the standard size SIMs. Luckily it came with the adapter to use it...

I'm out of the US this week and want to be able to use sms message using the free wifi at the hotel. So, I set to Airplane mode to avoid any possible roaming charges and enabled wifi. But, my Chomp SMS does not seem to be working. Are there other settings? Thanks!

Recently, I've been having issues with my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, in that the screen would sometimes not shut off unless I reset the device. This time, however, my phone is not turning on. I have the device plugged in and pressing the power button simply doesn't seem to be doing much. I'm...
