Any Bmobile S2 users having a problem with the data plan? The $150 plan they've sold me is practically useless, messages take very long to go through, and the browsing is practically useless. I'm looking to see if someone can advise on settings besides me taking it in for a tech to check out.

Anyone can get me a S2 from bmobile for the price they have it on sale at? I'll pay something extra if anyone can.

Anyone installed asphalt 7 on their s3 as yet?

Gonna try that tonight.

Great, let me know if you get through with it. Reason I asked is because I downloaded the apk and installed it, it installed properly and downloaded the game files properly, but anytime the game starts, it crashes and returns to the homescreen

And that is the reason I hate having processors that aren't Tegras lol. Happened a million times with my S2. I'm rooted so if that happens I'll see if chainfire has any fixes in store for this one too. I'll post back tonight.

Reinstalled it today using the data they provided and it worked. Gotta say, the graphics in this game is really great.

GameKlip Combines PS3 Controller with Android Phones: Poor Man’s PlayStation Phone

Unlike the messy controller situation in iOS, Android users have the benefit of workarounds for using controllers with their mobile device. One such solution is the Sixaxis Controller app, which pairs PS3 controllers with compatible Android devices. If you’re using the app, you might want to get the GameKlip as well.

Made by Ryan French, the GameKlip is simply a plastic mount that lets you connect a PS3 controller with an Android smartphone. The result is a semi-permanent, poor man’s portable gaming device.

anyone here knows the pda,csc and modem version of the galaxy ace 2 from bmobile?. i'm trying to get the firmware from sammobile

[M_2NR]

guys. so the Digicel s2 is the i9100 not the i9100g and it's on 2.3.6. Well the black one. How can i find out the HW version... (no it's not mine) i see the app in the play store requires v1.4 and lower. I saw there is a *#2222# to dial but that doesn't work... is it *#1234#? it seems googling "find i9100 hardware version" doesnt help

Thanks ill give it a try soon.

[Logic42]

Ok, fairly new to Android, but I've managed to root and unlock my Digicel GT-I9300.
I'm having the same issue as a previous poster where I'm unable to find firmware updates via Kies or otherwise, so I'm guessing I'll have to do it manually. Anyone know where the official firmwares for the I9300 at?

i don't think updates are out yet for the i9300....Jelly Bean hasn't been released for it. anyone knows if the s3 i9300 sold by Digicel is the international version that can be updated...because the s2 that they sell is some type of funny version that cannot even update to ICS.

Look here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ?t=1671969


Also, forget Kies, read thread, read firmware reviews, flash with Odin, if you want to say on the Region Specific Firmwares, your wait will be longer

Try reading the whole thread, if you can, there is invaluable knowledge to be gained, from other people's questions/mistakes

[S_2NR]

People still coming here asking about firmware updates?
XDA XDA XDA XDA.
How much times ppl go say it dan

I looked there already, but saw nothing Trinidad or Caribbean specific, so that's why I asked. Is it really the Jamaican region one I'm looking for?
Read most of the thread already, but didn't get what I was looking for.
Also I'm on a Mac, so I'm using Heimdall. Rooted via that too.
