Samsung Galaxy S II T989 - User Reviews

  • wat is th mobile os

  • i need batterie for S2 t989

  • i need LCD and Touch screen for T989 plz tell me any stores are online stock ????????????

  • I still use mine got it from a wetback junkie works great

  • i absolutely hate it when people use this phone instead of the i9100 in their youtube videos!!!

  • How use 4g in this .it version is 4.1.2 and which software for it for upgredesion as link etc.

  • I used to have one it was a very nice phone mine was a Hercules yes very good starter phone for your kid my son he really liked it.

  • Hey guys, I acquired this phone and followed this tutorial to NETWORK UNLOCK it for free: Then, installed CyanogenMod 13.1 (Android 6.0) on it. It runs extremely smoothly and everything is better than ever! Link to CM 13.1: There's also Android 7.1.1 available that works smoothly, too. Link: Good luck!

  • how do I move my phone's internet form Edge to either H or H+

  • my ram is 788mb instead of 1gb I wasn't able to do some things

  • my wi-fi signal strength shows poor whenever its connected my a modem -- please help me

  • No network on my phone same times it shows same time not even the sim does not show

  • Help me MY phone has no network showing and it doesn't show the network

  • how will you re program the phone it is still on welcome screen needs to reprogram it

  • If you want this phone to work well and fast, DO NOT UPGRADE TO JELLY BEAN. Doing this will not let you download some apps but it all comes down to what you want, speed or apps like Clash Royale, Clash of Clans, etc.

  • Does it has 4G features

  • I've had this phone for almost 4 years and it still works great. Sure, it's not the latest, but it works fine.

  • it nice . i really love everything about this phone, especially it features

  • I a got this phone by my uncle has given me.It is the best phone by using it tuff and strong very nice phone i love it

  • When i drag to next page then it tells me the page am dragging to so i want to stop it

  • data &wifi on by itself & drain the battery.pls I need help

  • I want to buy some accessories of the phone but I can't find them

  • I can attest to the durability of the phone. With a semi-rigid plastic bumper as its only protection (bought at the T-mobile store), it's survived two bicycle wrecks and many drops. I replaced it with a Note 3 on AT&T two years ago, but a year later started using it again (in addition) because my company offered a T-Mobile plan if I would provide the phone. Aside from the limitations from being four years old (slower speed, older OS and lower RAM than current phones), the phone is still performing like a champ.

  • I have dropped my phone almost every day and it hasn't broke not even a scratch on it.

  • my phone has lost its band version now am not using since even network it has lost how can i get band version so that i can use the phone

  • Very gooog I have it from 4 year without any problm

  • i have problem with charging, its very hard to get fully charged, even i was in 24 hours, anyone can help me? all support still normal and standard phone.

  • the data of this fone

  • Yea d fone is gud buh d tin i hate in samsung is dat dere parts are too costly...my own fell down and the screen broke dey ask me to bring #12000 b4 i can replace it. Av made up my mind nt to do it buh 2 buy anoda fone whch will never be samsung.

  • I love this phone. I have had it for 4 years and do not want to get a new one. I wish Samsung would create an update for it. I wish it was LTE. I tether with it all the time. The secret to the phone not heating is to keep it plugged in while tethering or streaming. I have the original battery and still going strong. I keep my phone in a glove so its just like new.

  • how could this cell phone be compatible to Ethiopian net work?

  • 300Gh

  • Pls ao much did u get d screen? My own fell down and the screen has broken.

  • how can you say that ?

  • Bought this phone in January 2012, the only things I've had to do to it are replacing the screen (I dropped it, obviously) and get a new battery (curses to Samsung for their notorious bad batteries). Other than that, it's been a phenomenal phone for almost 4 years now, finally going to replace it with a Galaxy Grand Prime because I desperately need a new phone and the GP is a cheap price for a phone that actually is a valid upgrade from the S2 in every way except the camera (both front and rear cameras are identical to the S2).

  • Using This Is Very Good, I Put In The CyanogenMod 12 Rom To Keep It Up To Date, It Is Fast, My Mom Likes The Colorful Icons Even If She Likes Her IPhone Better And Its Useful For Me To Test Out Things And It Is Pretty Calm Phone For Me, Just The Way I Like It

  • your battery i your big problem of samsung phones

  • big problem is battery so hot .......because mobile data connected than hot the phone and battery.......this is the problem.

  • my sensor has gone very , can i have a optional settings for my t mobile samsung s ii,to save my network settings like apn and others

  • you only need to replace your battery its the main reason for that

  • am been using this phone for the past one year an d it still working ok,bt I want to swap it to collect BB 10,bt this Samsung galaxy s11 t989 is the best phone I even use

  • I have used this fone working is nice but it get hot very early i.e while using browser or watching video or calling. Any cure for this????

  • Best phone ever, have had it for 4 years. It is like indestructible.

  • I have been using this phone for the past 6 months and I can say that I am pleased with what it can do (deceived however to the abscence of radio, an firmware update). It is a really good phone and could be even better if samsung allowed it a android kikat upgrade.

  • Plss teach me how to customize rom for my s2 t989 pls teach me step by step thx

  • I have just bought one today and I am yet observing the quality

  • My s2 t989 doesnt have a samsung account? But the lcd test is running is it fake or clone?

  • As anyone else noticed that this phone is a little more powerful than the new iPhonw 6 and 6 Plus?

  • pes 12 freezes on my fone and its running 4.1.2

  • so no radio?? it doesn't make it smart at all.I'm very disappointed in Samsung.

  • Hi! You have options cause ure running android :) Go to Settings, now go to More Networks, the option like [...] and now go to Tethering and Mobile HotSpot, turn that off. If you cant, try downloading FoxFi, thats what i did. If you need the apk, google it or contact me. [email protected]

  • test

  • after ugrading my phone to 4.1 I can't disable tethering provision for me to be able to use the mobile hotspot. someone help me out.

  • buy a new battery

  • my phone is ploblem working (i start the phone ofter 2 second screen off mode @ Vibrate Continue please resolve my phone problem

  • I've just installed a custom Evolver ROM 4.4.4 and it's running fine.

  • it shous only logo of samsung doesn't want to open what should i do

  • You either update the software to 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 stock or install a custom ROM. I had that issue before because of software instability.

  • my hotspot stoped working, i did a factory setting and even the technitions say it needs software update.just bought d cell in 2012 and ran for 8 months and started to freezing.whaaaaat do i do.

  • Buy a front half assembly (LCD, touch digitizer & lens) on eBay and replace it yourself. All you need is a screwdriver and a tool similar to a guitar pick to open it up. The tools can be found for just $2-3US online if you don't know where get them locally. There are several YouTube videos clearly showing how to do this. If you're handy with a heat gun and adhesives, you can even separate the glass layers and replace only what is broken for a lot less than buying a whole assembly.

  • I dropped my phone damaging its screen. I am in India at present(J&K) Samsung service centres refuse to replace the screen. What should I do-- throw the phone in sea or send it as a gift to Samsung

  • Mobogenie, 1Mobile, Amazon Appstore

  • Which apk is good for downloading of different games & apk?

  • dear guide me is this handset corean or vitnam..?

  • Rooted*

  • Same here, my phones rooting, currently running on 4.4.4 on Cyangenmod

  • samsung galaxy s2 titanium nice functions

  • For the money.. They still dont make phones with the nice specs this phone has meaning 1gb or ram and 16gb or 32 storage... The best would be 2gb ram 16 or 32 storage.. This is a nice phone. it can be easily updated to jellybean with samsung kies. just download samsung kies and plug up your usb cable and update firmware. that means you will update 4.0 ice cream to 4.1 jellybean which is a big difference and will bring you current in the technology world

  • how to download samsung s2 t mobile applications?

  • Quit the battery! and... turn on on flash mode

  • I would recommend a s4,s5,nexus 5,or moto x.

  • If I plan to get one of these models today (in order to update it to KitKat), is it a better choice over the other SG SII available options then? Is the overall chipset power superior in the T Mobile SGH T989 case? I like the better network speed, but couldn't see the advantage of a bigger screen size as well as the battery increase.

  • how do you get fm radio on dis phone, does the radio come with a specific android OS?

  • I want to update my phone in to KITKAT... is there any releases of kitkat

  • Wow what a smartphone, very amazing

  • Sup man how did u upgrade to 4.3.1 please kindly send detailed steps to my : [email protected] Thank you very much

  • this phone is amazing with the CyanogenMod. Their JellyBean (4.3.1) is pretty darn good. I like the KitKat (4.4+), but you can't customize as much. They say that KitKat is suppose to give it more battery with their newfound runtime, but I haven't noticed much difference in performance other than the fact that I cannot uninstall as many programs without the Settings menu force closing.

  • Sup man hw did u upgrade to 4.2.2 pls kindly send d step to my mail [email protected]

  • Can samsung s2 t-mobile read and detect the 64gb micro sd ultra?

  • if your phone is lost, the first thing you don't do is panic. try to trace back where you lost had it. so technically, the first thing you do is jump off a cliff for being so careless

  • I recommend you to use the original (stock) rom 4.1.2. Its fantastic. Zero Problems. Fast Camera, Voice Commands. I used Cyanogenmod. it´s good but has some crashes in camera.

  • Im useing 4.2.2 JB with custermized rom... Its fantastic performance

  • I did upgrade my phone to Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)in my Kies. I downloaded the required update from microsoft to fix the "Ordinal" problems in my Kies.

  • Great phone, easily unlockable and runs CM10.1 like a champ. At stock speeds running an updated ROM, keeps up with an SGS3.

  • Come on where is JB v4.1 already...how many delays now?

  • i am using it in india but i can not make video calls ??? please reply??

  • it is now upgardeble to ICS 4.0.4

  • You can download the ROM in sammobile.com/firmware and flash using the Odin app.

  • Im about to buy the Galaxy S2 t989. I thought it came with Gingerbread, tmobile updates it to ICS for you?

  • If all you want is to upgrade, you should try the official way through Samsung Kies..google it on your computer, download the software, connect your device and see if it tells you that an update is available..mine came ICS from the box so I think you should find it right away but we're also promised an update to Jelly Bean soon so look out for that. Make sure to backup all your data before you update your phone! And..this way you don't have to root it nor download a custom rom, however if you're already rooted you might not be able to update to the official version or the update could unroot your phone.

  • Uhhh...It is 4g. I'm pretty sure 42mbps is 4g. Mine has tested at 32mbps on speedtest.net. Probably a lot faster than your overpriced lamet&t/slowrizon service.

  • That's not an error.

  • yes :)

  • It's listed as having 4G speeds on the Samsung page...please correct this error.

  • Please Need Hard Reset for this Model is Blocked by Pass. Thank Bro Bed

  • try clearing your cache memory by using program app2sd i might help you

  • Yes it is updatable OS ICS. 4.0.4

  • You'll have to root it and install a custom rom. It's not as hard as it sounds, just head over here to get started:

  • there is 1gb of ram. you are seeing a lower number because the operating system is using that ram.

  • Gsm arena is saying that it got 1GB ram but on mine one, it shows 768 ram. Can some one advise. When i go active applications then there it shows total 768 ram.

  • Like ^ that guy the T989 I just purchased has Android 4 (4.0.4 to be precise) on it.

  • On the official Samsung page the SAR value is : Head 0.35 W/kg

  • guyz can any 1 tell me how can i update my s2 to ICS or JB ... ?? when im doing that through my phone it says "no firmware" ... plz help mee

  • My T989 is running Android 4.0.4, and it has NFC. Is NFC listed as "optional" because it wasn't supported by the earlier Android Gingerbread releases? At any rate, the device is most certainly Ice Cream Sandwich upgradable.

  • Very good phone i have been using it for some time and i have had no problem it is a fast smart and attractive phone

  • its a nice phone but can anyone please tell how to make video call with this phone

  • Is the Samsung Galaxy 2S CMAS-capable. I need a GSM phone that is alert-capable.

  • yes this phone can use jelly bean. I have had it for a while now and its amazing ! i currently run a custom rom on it that is ICS 4.0.4 ! So this phone definatly hasnt been left in dark by developers and it will have plenty of room to grow .

  • this phone will be jellybean upgradable

  • ics 4.0.4 is updatable in it ??

  • I am using this phone for a year now and it is perfect it is soooo fast , never hang with me, I can run any game or program on it I am very happy with it. about its battery I can use it about one day on average use and the screen is out standing

  • Shipped with 4.0.4

  • love the phone, my 1st smartphone and it's taking a lot of getting used to however,my phone doesn't vibrate. in vibrate mode, it will not alert me of text via vibration or calls - nothing!

  • i have one problem with my internal memory... it's only 47mb. i don't know what to do.. if someone can halp me pls write me skype:avataras81 thanks!!

  • yes it can skypecall

  • any body tale me galaxy SII T989 skype video call support???

  • The best mobile phone using till date....

  • S2 T989 or AXIOM? Even if they were at same price (or if S2 was $100 cheaper)

  • samsung! try to make better batteries as well...

  • The T989 can be upgraded OTA to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) officially. There is a leaked version of Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) floating around, although this is a beta leak. There is obviously huge developer community support for this handset as well, I'm already running 4.1.2 on mine, and I'm super happy with my phone. If you need a new Android phone and need to stay on a budget, you will NOT go wrong with this phone if you put on a decent ROM without all the T-Mobile bloat. Stock with all the T-Mobile stuff, that's why everyone's crying.

  • Any news of JB for this device!!!

  • fast, better over all performance. Battery is not good.

  • yes this is true that this mobile is more faster then others i really feel that's what im telling please buy it n enjoy ur mobile net and aps of android see ya

  • that is a marvelous phone, when I watched a live match between pak vs India, the browser was playing and I can watch the live TV's so it was a value added which satisfied me for the money I paid.

  • Can a 64gb Sandisk ultra class 10 microsd card work on this device. I saw the specs have up to 32gb. Can this higher capacity slow down or crash this device?

  • when will be the official jelly bean 4.1.2 update for galaxy sII t989 launch ??

  • same problem with battery. purchased a new battery next day same problem quick drainage and only a call or two. I liked the phone but it is so disappointing to go thru this since I purchased the phone this past March, 2012. Wow. Samsung needs to do better.

  • Every review praise the galaxy s2 screen. But compared to Motorola atrix 4g or atrix 2, I found the Motorola more pleasing : - amoled screen is much darker, almost unusable outside in sunlight, the atrix does better - galaxy s2 has an unpleasing blue cast and colors are dull compared to atrix 2. - and the low resolution is unpleasing for web browsing. I cant speak for games, since I don't play. The galaxy s2 is probably faster than most competitor (of the same range). But for regular phone use galaxy s2 isn't best choice, especially when price come in consideration. It has the screen size and samsung reputation that's all.

  • I like note II bettery backup

  • U r right ,i have used g note and now t989 there is nothing difference between , but i found t989 some fast

  • believe me, i use galaxy s2 S1900 , but i do;t like it and now i purchase a brand new t989 and it is really awesome, its superb, faster like s3 and more relaible then s2 simple... camera is super fine and built in installed icecream 4.0.3.... its running smooooth and creamy.... no complaints , no heat up... and getting normal heating due to heavy usage and games is normal. screen size and sense is speech less and i really prefer it on s3. simply go for it but a new one, do't take risk on second hand.

  • hello gays any body can help me about the price of LCD display for this phone , my SGH-T989 was drop from me and the screen was broken please help me what is the coast ??

  • Hi, I'm facing same issue with my Samsung S2 T989 model. Please let me know if you are successful in connecting it with kies software.

  • yes u can update before u have to reboot the phone

  • Try to install the latest kies in your computer, then connect your phone. Or you can edit the kies registry in the installed drive in your computer.

  • Hey friends..I bought this phone in march which had 2.3.6 Gingerbread OS n many people have updated it to ICS so can anyone help me to install ICS as i cannot update as it shows no Firmware found.I am using it in INDIA..! Please i am eager to update it.. Thanks in advance..!!!

  • Take out the battery let it dry

  • Can anyone help. My phone fell in water and can't power on. Is that the end of the phone or what.

  • Mine can survive more than a day, but still can't beat to my Samsung Wave S8500 battery performance(3-4 days).

  • 6 months old. Two times sent to Samsung service . The same problem and NO fix: overheating and fast drain battery. Have received from Samsung service 2 days ago: fast drain battery(5-6 hours,2-3 short calls, WiFi Off, GPS Off) and overheating VERY DIASPOINTED

  • I have just upgraded but still on ICS (4.04). Jelly Bean?

  • Is there any problem with Jelly Bean? Is everything working fine? I read that some apps are not working and camera and etc have problems too and it hangs randomly. Please reply asap because I want to use JB too lol

  • Yes I'm running Cyanogemod 10 Smooth

  • Yes I'm running Cyanogemod 10 Smooth

  • anybody running jelly bean on this as yet.

  • I have the samsung s 2 t989 of t mobile, but i dont use t mobile sim card. I,m on an other network. T mobile backup comes on ever time so i stoped it. From app. I,m i doing good or no. And why there is no updates

  • increase the intensity of vibration in notification setting and you will get vibrations

  • Whether you are using gsm or cdma just go to settings >> mobile networks >> network modes and select one of them and dont let it be on auto or you will face the same problem i had same issue which is solved if network is gone after selecting preferred one dont panic just search mobile network and you are done enjoy calls ....

  • Is it comes with headphones? I did not receive it. Thanks

  • I have bought this cell phone and updated it to ICS and believe me it can't get better than this!!! Extremely beautiful display and sound and features and no problems so far and according to news, JELLY BEAN is coming in a month or two!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED :D

  • Good phone but no headset included. I tried to use my old Samsung Wave1 headset but the audio output is very bad. I don't know. Is it not compatible with this phone? How's your headset music experience? Your advice is much appreciated.

  • I've heard that it has a 4G LTE Network and it's not specified.....And one more thing,i want to know that whether the unlocked version of this phone would work with 3g european frequencies

  • You can make it last long. There are many apps that improve your battery life. You should try some.

  • I now have had this phone for a couple months and have been quite impressed despite the Galaxy S3 hype (great phone as well). With my T-Mobile S2 and the recent update to ICS, it still feels like a new phone despite how long it's been around. I spent a few bucks on a fast 32GB class 10 MicroSD card, popped that card in and enjoyed the 48 GB (more like 38 in reality) of space for my apps, photos and just about everything else. I loved the more curved feel of this model compared to the similar model on AT&T which was a glossy black rectangle. One annoyance about the T-989 model was the change in camera placement which makes case shopping tough for some people who don't want to pay the premium price for accessories at a T-Mobile retailer (perhaps that is why that video on YouTube of a man trashing a London store showed up... I kid...) Back to my experience, I found that I needed to replace my SIM card due to a system issue for WiFi calling to work properly with this phone. I wasn't charged for the replacement, but was curious until the rep explained it all. I live in a area with poor coverage and rely on that feature so I was happy to have that handled and avoid a return trip. So far, not a single dropped call via Comcast and out in the center of town, testing the speed of this phone was amazing. Faster than the average Starbucks hotspot for sure! With the ICS update in place, I did a full factory reset post install and began re-installing my games, apps, etc., I was surprised as a few problems that showed up. The game Bejeweled on Google Play gave me a message that my phone wasn't compatible with the game despite the fact I had the same download on the same phone when running Gingerbread. Some other games had issues and some still have yet to see an update. The largest issue I imagine is with this specific phone as Samsung had to switch to a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor (with the Adreno 220 GPU) for network compatibility. So while you gain the ability to reach the possible 42Mbps limit on the network, the desired Samsung Exynos chipset had to go. Games still run very well in most situations but I did notice some slight stuttering from lightweight games such as Sonic CD to more demanding games such as Modern Combat 3 and NOVA 3. This same issue even showed while flipping through home screens or the oddest of all things that shouldn't happen with a 1.5Ghz dual core processor. Fire up your favorite live wallpaper and then start up the music player. The wallpaper skips and drops to a crawl! Quite embarrassing when considering my old HTC MyTouch 4G never skipped a beat under the same conditions. I tried this under a number of live wallpapers and just starting some music playback brought the phone to a crawl. On the other hand, Pandora or Slacker radio never showed this problem. I hope for a last fix or two before Samsung (and T-Mobile) decide to drop this phone and move on.

  • Anybody is experiencing drop calls on this phone? This is my 3rd gs2. Calls get dropped very so often.

  • Talk time Up to 7 h REALLY?

  • Got this phone a month ago it awesome ,got official upgrade to ICS 4.0.3 also and till now facing no prob at all so smooth

  • This phone actually does NOT have gorilla glass. Every other version of the SGS2 does, but not T-mobile's...

  • I wonder if there will be a way to unlock the UMTS 900 band and the LTE radio.. since it radio can manage all UMTS bands and have LTE capacities..

  • its already out visit samsung.com

  • anybody notice how the screen of this phone is a finger print magnet. i'm funding this to be really annoying

  • is this phone gonna have ics update ? if yes when ??

  • hi i just upgrade to tmobile official ICS but i am facing a problem, that when i get text message its not virating, i tried everything from main settings to separate settings of messages but still its not working, can anyone help me ??

  • Did you find any glitches with the official release of ICS on this phone?

  • ryan? from where are you in the philippines? we must joined force to utilize our phone.

  • hello,i'm from philippines and using this kind of phone. can any one help me how to update the phone to ics 4.0.3?

  • Ice Cream sandwich is now officially available on this phone, as i have upgrade it

  • container, yup, exactly. By the way, i suggest u to see a ballistic case, or an otterbox case for it.. Try to see which suits u better..

  • DON'T DO IT! Ice Cream Sandwich removes sliding brightness function on top of screen. It ruins native email client. It won't allow my capacitive buttons to remain lit. It makes 3 instances of Social Hub run. It makes T-Mobile Mall always run. It makes MediaHub always run. In other words, it uses more RAM. It disables NoLock. It adds every person you've ever emailed into your contacts. It changes how you take screen shots. Because of ICS, I'm not going to root so I can remove bloat and lower RAM use. Ridiculous

  • ****How to update to officail Ics: androidadvices.com/tmobile-galaxy-s2-sght989-and­roid-403-ics-upgrade-samsung-kies/2/

  • ?? i think snapdragon s3 much more efficient & more reliable than exylos, from the youtube video there was a comparison between snapdragon s3 with other chip by using butter on the last part.

  • hey how to close the application in samsung s2 t989 model????? i am getting messages in viber once i get connect with wifi or gprs even though the application has been closed.......so is there any solution for this kind of problem??????

  • June 11th, 2012, official ics update will come to T989. YEAHOO!

  • I'm from Brunei and this phone works here.

  • Amer ? Where did u live in malaysia ? U know what, i'm a malaysian too..

  • can this phone work in malaysia????

  • HTC is like a well-styled, tasteful Audi. Sammie is like a functional plain Mercedes. iPhone is a smooth, uncustomizable Lexus. Can't here the engine or choose gears. Sammie is more a BMW. You can choose your own gears and hear the engine working.

  • bostonkik, i really hope that u are correct. i'm planning to buy this.. any 'android GURU' here ? i'm also want to learn a couple or two from those..... :)

  • I like my old HTC HD2 than my new samsung galaxy S2. HTC phones have more options, more features, and easy to use.

  • this phone is the, the best. i've played with HTC, Iphone but you don't get the satisfaction you get from this phone. It is light, not brick heavy like HTC. Beautiful large screen, nice colors, easy to read websites. A lot of reading gives eye constrain though. It is fast, or at least faster than what a human being should handle. nice camera, great apps. it felt little big when i first got it but you will love the size once you get used to it. i'm just waiting and hoping that it will get the ics upgrade.

  • difently worth to switch to samsung, because my had the sensation too and had problem, but when i got her the galaxy , she said the sensation is sucks

  • Im quite sure that the t989 doesn't have gorilla glass unlike the international model. it has "tempered glass."

  • I'm currently owning the sensation 4g and I'm thinking of switching to this galaxy s2. I want to ask if it is worth switching?

  • simple option o better battery life, root install a new rom something like beast mod rom.

  • That's why you root your phone and install custom rom and kernel. I get 30-32 hrs on one charge

  • Yes the stock firmware offers a poor battery life because of extra applications that the carrier loads onto it. That's a problem with many smartphones and carriers, and is not unique to the Galaxy S2. These consume a good deal of power/data while running in the background and most cannot be removed unless the phone is unlocked (rooted). Consider having a custom (hacked) ROM installed, use power saving settings, and configure "noisy" applications like email and facebook to not sync automatically.

  • Really incredible device. Doesn't have the Exynos, but has faster network speed, bigger screen, bigger battery. Better overall package than the other GS2s.

  • No, that's normal for my battery too. I keep a charger in my car charger when I am home. When traveling I just pull out my charger and plug in. It charges pretty fast.

  • its the best ever but please i need to know battery life is too short about 7 or 8 hours only is that normal or i have a problem with my battery?

  • the phone is excellent ..

  • i have one just got it i am verry happy whit it i dont juse my labtop annymore dont need to

  • I have no tabs on the contacts info screen can anybody help me please ?

  • I cant see or have any tabs on the contact info screen(in contacts) can anybody help me please ?

  • What is the latest virgin for t989 sumsung

  • Thanks for your post,i am the proud owner of the HTC S ensation 4g & the Galaxy S2 [t989].1st off in everyday use there's really not much difference in processor speed,i expected a noticeable difference [did't see it].Galaxy is smoother regarding browsing and has a more colorful display but as far as a workhorse is concerned it's Sensation all the way.My biggest dislike with Galaxy is after a call the callers name & number remain even after i press lock button,i have to either backout or hit home. Galaxy is a super phone but lacks many options available on the Sensation.I know your post was about the 989 but i felt someone may be interested. Thank You

  • Let's try to spice-up the post alittle bit, post information about the performance of these beast... how to improve it, games, apps ... make these section lively with your post... cheer peeps.. proud owner of Samsung Galaxy S II T989 beast.. :)

  • homie is tripping if he thinks this is the worst phone ever. just shows that he has no clue what he is talking about. this phone is awesome. i have had no problems with it. and being a techie my self i know for a fact that alot of tech people have said them selves that this one of the best out right now. if you dont know what your talking about dont make your self look stupid.

  • can it be upgraded to android 4.0 ICS ?????

  • its not 2.3.5 its a bit higher 2.3.6 ..........

  • worst phone i ever had. after a few months phone just won't charge. This is total garbage and it's just one of the issues. There are like tons more

  • can I put a radio software in it?

  • The OS Android on the T989 is actually a newer 2.3.6 Gingerbread.UVKL1 version.

  • Its just you buddy. When you are trying to make a call, try dialing the phone number then pressing call. If you need tips on how to text just reply.

  • This phone is the best,just need to install the battery defender,turn ON and good to go.Well done Samsung.thanks

  • Every single day when i try to make calls my phone just won't dial. Unbelievable worst phone ever

  • Been having power issue with this phone. can't last a day with original battery. Anyone tried this Qcell Galaxy S2 T989 extended battery?

  • I've this phone over a month now. I had the original Galaxy before and THIS PHONE IS MUCH BETTER!!! IT ROCKS!!! It is un-blocked and works GREAT on other networks as well!

  • Definitely will take 4.0 ...the standard s2(i9100) is scheduled to update to ICS and this version is much faster(1.5 vs 1.2)

  • Is this available in the Philippines? If yes, where?

  • Ok go to settings,location......make sure you uncheck gps or google location services,you only need this for map apps 2.shut off your data when your not using it.go to settings,wireless networks,scroll all the way to the bottom to mobile networks,uncheck data packet... 3.goto settings,accounts and sync...this is the main reason also your battery dies.you only need this when your in a google app...market YouTube...etc keep these things off as needed and your battery will perform better.....

  • its 4G not 3G

  • Why the hell to buy 3G phone and do not use 3G ? !!!!!

  • let the battery go completly dead an then charge for 8 hrs without use nothing less or more than 8 hrs charge

  • Change network setting to GSM mode. Do not set 3g or Dual mode.

  • Yes it does

  • I have this phone....terrible battery out of the box...dies so fast...I have no idea how to fix it. People say to root..dont want to...i need help phone dies in 4 hours with hardly any use and wifi off!!!!

  • I prefer the design of the T989 as opposed to the generic EU version. I live in the UK and if this handset worked here I would definitely buy it.

  • this phone is awesmone and it runs perfect on att network

  • i think galaxy s2 is way faster and better as the same cost, which network provider are you using right now?

  • Yes it will handle Ice Cream Sandwich for sure. My Vibrant 3G runs ICe Cream Sandwich with no problems.

  • Brilliant phone made me give up the Iphone4, But will it handle updates like Android 4.0?

  • I have this and the iPhone 4s, speed is about the same but iPhone screen looks better, but this phone has many more uses than the iPhone. One area this phone is a complete beast in is the speed the iPhone cannot compare to the Samsung's download speed. Even on the same wifi s2 is a pinch faster hah wth. Front cam is a joke though it's horrible.

  • The best android phone ever at best price.

  • Why the aspect ratio of the display is 15:9 but not 16:9 (standard) in all high end samsung phones?

  • I got this phone few days back from Telus in Canada. Its amazing i'm in luv with it, I even sleep with it. adreno-220 Gpu is what makes it wonderfull in specs.

  • Samsung has been kicking ass with their displays, bottom line. I have this phone and I absolutely love it. However, if you want a simplistic, slower, general smartphone, get the iPhone....as was once said, "The iPhone is a smartphone for people who don't know how to use smartphones".

  • should i get this phone or the iphone 4s which is bette´r and faster

  • Go to music playlist select song that u want ( MENU ) set as rington, that it. OR download RINGTON MAKER from Andriod market.

  • it is a very super phone please reduce the rate

  • anybody know how to make mp3 song from this Galaxy S II to ringtone please help

  • works for South America?

  • I have had this phone for about 1 month now and I absolutely love it. It runs very fast, UI is excellent, and the camera is also very good. Supports Flash so I could stream live football matches right off the default web browser =) Definitely recommend it

  • This phone/PDA/computer has a very useful feature which is often not mentioned (probably because it so unique to T-Mobile). It has an HDMI output. No sense in recording HD video, if it can't be played back.

  • or you can call them, say the online deal, and order the black one for free like I did today, 3 of them.

  • your right. I want this phone to but i still love my vibrant that even though its old i keep it really clean.

  • White one comes to Tmobile.com 12/14 WEB ONLY!!

  • i love this phone from t-mobile with this extra feature Speed HSDPA, 42 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot.... this feature makes this phone way better than any smartphone in the world... cheers...

  • if those are your only complaints,you are gonna be just fine.i still am in love with my vibrant galaxy s.u r lucky to have this device.

  • yes its been released in the philippines. I was just there on vacation

  • I don't have this issue. I have the i9100 and this model and both screens are the same.

  • if this Galaxy S II T-Mobile already release from the philippines or not ? i'll wait your ans. asap ..

  • guys, this phone have 850mhz band? can I use this phone in latinoamerica? thanks

  • Coming from the European S2 i9100, this phone is a huge let down as for pixels and contrast. The colors on the i9100 looks so richer and bold while the colors on this one is lite and dull. I'm like wtf.. I taught it was the same phone. Apparently it is not. It doesnt even come with the video maker app that comes with the s2 i9100. T-Mobile installed a whole bunch of bloatware, luckly I was able to root and bloat them off. Performance wise, its fast as the s2 i9100 but the pixels is just the worst. You will see when you zoom in on pictures and it starts to get blurry like wat.... on da s2 i9100 when you zoom in u seem better pixels. I cant believe i downgraded to this.

  • This one was a given, but we can�t help but love it when it has been officially confirmed. The Samsung Galaxy S2 has been officially confirmed by Samsung UK to receive the Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 update, although there was no dates mentioned, apart from the promise that they will keep us posted. We had previously reported on a rumored list of devices that were scheduled to receive the Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 update, and the Samsung Galaxy S2 was among them. We�re not sure about the fate of the other devices, but then again the devices listed are some of Samsung�s latest products, so it�s not a stretch to imagine that they would be eligible for the update as well.

  • I almost got the Amaze, until I saw YouTube videos that reveal the same poor audio-recording quality as the Sensation I returned - HD video imaging, LD video sound. I love this device. It isn't as snappy as the Exynos units & T-Mobiles 42mbps only reaches 4 in LA, but I love the larger screen.

  • The batter is 1850. It lasts me 16 to 20 hours from a full charge, and that is with 3 to 4 hours of screen on time, and depends on what you do. Games it will last less, but regular use, or browsing, you can get the 20 hours. Very good.

  • The GSII for T-Mobile is the best phone you can get. I had an Amaze first, but it turned out to be not too amazing. The GSII is super fast, has the best screen out there even at the lower resolution, and can do anything you need it to. The look and feel is nothing short of perfection. I love it. I've been using it since a week after launch, and I wouldn't give it up for anything. 1st class all the way.

  • what about its battery?

  • HTC Amaze better then samsung galaxy S2 becz HD display, better camera, fast, 4.0 inch is perfect for hand, styles sexy design and samsung galaxy for middle class people.

  • We have released a 3200mAh battery for Samsung Galaxy S II. For those who are interested please visit this page:

  • Best phone ever, at least until Samsung nexus prime and even bigger screen and awesome display, (not too sure about a new cpu) can't wait until ice cream sandwich comes out. Bigger is better. Unless you are a girl. No complaint against the battery, with normal usage (and I'm a heavy user) more than a day, if on Netflix probably 2 hours.

  • samsung galaxy s 2 or HTC amaze 4g what is better?...............

  • why they had to make this phone even larger than the original one which is big enough, i don't get it??? tmobile what is wrong with you??

  • Can we upgrade it to ice-cream sandwich?

  • can this phone be upgraded to android 4.0??? if not, whats the point of buying an outdated phone for so much money even though its a great phone.?

  • I got this beast on Friday 10/21. Guys..Believe me. Its the best piece of hardware I have ever seen. The SuperAMOLED plus screen does wonders to browsing and gaming. I own full version of Asphalt Adrenaline HD. It runs very smoothly. And with the dual core 1.5 Ghz dragon breathing inside you will not see any lag in whatsoever app you use.Battery life is awesome. full one day with lots of gaming , browsing, e mail and FB syncing. My only complain is that some of the Gameloft games that I used to play on my Galaxy S 4G (Green Farm, Nova 2 HD etc are not available right now for this). I am eagerly waiting for gameloft to resolve this.

  • i bought the galaxy s2 for t-mobile yesterday and since day 1 the screen lock wont work at all .... except that everything works fine ... i went to exchange it with a new one and it did the same ... anyone knows the fix ?

  • does the samsung galaxy S II have wi-fi calling ?

  • Yes, TMo phones work with WIND

  • I upgraded from HTC Sensation 4g on Oct 19. The SGSII for TMO is my best phone in a long time. Battery life is way better with the 1850mah. 8mp cam is awesome for pics & videos. I have a 32BG class 10 micro SD which I never have to wait to access storage on this phone. The 2mp front cam is super clear when I used it for tango call. The feel in the hand feels very solid. Earpiece volume is great. 4G data is super-fast. The speaker phone is very clear enough to keep in the cup holder while driving. The Bluetooth settings easy for my car. The battery life average user on 4G all day so I have to charge every night. Great job. This phone will be great with GOOGLE 4.0 soon. Better specs than Galaxy Nexus with no sd card, check the specs for yourself!

  • yes it will .. buy a unlocked one ... like i did :)

  • Will this phone work on Wind Mobile in Canada?

  • Hi, Can anyone tell me whether i can use this mobile in INDIA? Please let me know. Thank you.

  • What is its price in Pakistan, i tried to search to buy it but not available in market, anyone can tell me that whether is it for Pakistan Market or not???

  • its normal for this high tech phone. dual cpu produce more heat. just the computer.

  • How come my samsung sii sometimes heat up ... When I talk on the phone for just a minute or 2. Or when I use Internet or play games...any help?

  • Please advice, when it will be launched in India. Because it is a best phone with latest feature, witch i had not seen before in the best deal.

  • with at&t 3g???

  • You could unlock this particular phone to work on AT&T, but AT&T has their own Galaxy S II phone...it's a bit smaller and slower though

  • ok Bro :)

  • Okay, it appears that the phone does indeed get 3G ON BOTH AT&T AND T-MOBILE USA (via one person's experience anyway)! and in case xxx can't read, I present in picture format as well: Not sure why the device didn't get 4G HSPA+ on both networks as the specifications alluded to (only got 4G on T-mobile apparently), but 3G on both is definitely a step in the right direction.

  • its rocking mobile ever samsung made in this affordable price. it works with at&t network also.....i eargly waiting for this...

  • any phone can be used with more than one carriers if you unlock the phone! att and tmobile 3g network is not 2100mhz!!! att is 1900 and tmobile is 1700!!! omgggg!!!!!

  • Yes. This device uses 2100 frequency for 3G which is used by both AT&T and T-Mobile. It also uses the three 2G frequencies shared by both companies.

  • if i buy a phone like tmobile samsung galaxy s2, can i put my att simcard?

  • yo bra! This phone is quad-bands phone for 2g network!!! Yes, it will work with ATT 2g network, but not the 3g network. got it bra! lol. People just don't know the difference between 2g and 3g network.

  • this proccesor sucks man my g2x on 1.5 scores 5000+ on benchmarks all day . .and mines already behind the curve haha they shud have stuck to the exynos . either way tmo has nowhere near 42mbs anyways so it was a fail

  • this is the t-mobile S2 specs Band (frequency): 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100);UMTS: Band V (850)

  • i think your right , any confirm this

  • Unless the specs on the box are wrong, then this phone indeed give you full T-Mo and AT&T (USA) support. Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900mhz) AND Quad-band 4G UMTS/HSPA+ 42 (Band I, II, IV, V) ­ We can go back and forth, but the only way to know for sure is if someone gets the unlock code and pops in an AT&T SIM.

  • The factory firmware is laggy because of the bloatwares they pre-installed on the phone. Third party firmwares are always better!!! the phone is super thin already bra. You want it to be paper thin? nonsense. You think people look and care about the look of your phone? I dont think so. Buying a phone is different from buy a car bra. Car you need good exterior. Phone you don't. Don't talk down on this beautiful work of technology.

  • Attention all, for the last time!! No, this phone does not support ATT 3g network!!! ATT 3g network frequency is 1900mhz!!! tmobile 3g network frequency is 1700mhz!!! therefore, it can only work with EDGE(2g) on ATT!!!!!!

  • Fast processor, highest ghz, fastest network speeds & one of biggest screens. Best of the Galaxy S IIs. The Exynos processor in the other variants is barely faster. However, the (up to) 42mbps download speeds of this device is exceptionally faster than the international GS2, as well as AT&T's and Sprints. What's more, this device can be used on both AT&T and T-Mobile. The best "all around" mobile phone on the market, across the board.

  • hi.. i just wanted to know, if you would be able to use all the services of this phone with at&t ntwk or not? i meant the features like 3g or 4g speeds.. pls throw some light into this.. thanks in advance

  • Update: Bad: Email app only syncs up to 1month. i9100 can sync all.

  • I would to know that can i use SKYPE with Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile?. thanks

  • gs2..exynos chipset is still better than this... Tmobile gs2 simply lost (*2x )back in browsing test infront of 1ghz dual core iphone 4s .... so choose wisely

  • Just got mine today so here's some stuff you might wanna know from what I got so far: Good: -Camera can be used even below 15% battery until below 5% (could be because of Android version 2.3.4 vs 2.3.5) -Bigger Screen -Bigger processor The bad: -Graphics laggy while i9100 gives smooth video. (T989 Adreno 220 vs i9100 Mali 400MP) -Color of screen less vibrant than i9100 (no color option like i9100) (tested using same video comparison side by side) -Tmobile software and Internet favorites unremovable. -physical design is ugly unlike i9100 -Noticably Thicker than i9100

  • Rumor has it (from TMONEWSdotCOM... their source is the Officially Released T-Mobile Fact Sheet) that the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S II is actually a Quad-Band 4G device (will ALSO work on AT&T HSPA+ UMTS Band II and V in addition to T-Mo's UMTS Band IV). Does anyone know if there's truth to that? I would love a "future-proof" device in case of a successful AT&T/T-Mobile merger

  • none...no galaxy s2 have all the networks you'll need to buy for your own specific version for your network

  • purchases may be made now samsung for $529 and Amaze for $559 with no contract

  • Galaxy S II is now released for Tmobile Customers on the web. In store purchases may be made on the 12th. Samsung #1!!!

  • T Mobile USA 3G and 4G works on UMTS 1700 so this phone will work on 4g htc amaze Oslo will work

  • Which Galaxy S2 works on all networks in terms of 3G/4G. I don't want to be like iPhone users who get Edge on T-mobile!

  • Steve Jobs is spinning in his grave lol!

  • All of the angry/jealous owners of the original Galaxy S II are going to be busy down-rating this phone now. lol - Faster download speed (up to 42mbps), bigger screen, better benchmark = better Galaxy S II.

  • please tell me about its market ptice..........?

  • pixels per inch

  • 206 ppi pixe, it should be 316 like Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE or iphone 4 330 ppi pixel becz it make screen look like mirror real hd.

  • pixel per inch

  • Pixels Per Inch

  • 1850 mah battery according to specs on Sammie's website. ...I need to get a life. :-|

  • What's meaning of this (~206 ppi pixel density).

  • Video of T-Mobile variant on YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=5PRnMRrvAEA . It's already been released in Canada as Galaxy S II x.

  • This phone has high speed 1.5 Ghz but the truth should reveal... GS2 is way better than this phone because the processor brand is ARM Cortex-A9 while this Scorpion which i have it in Dell Streak and i also have Captivate ARM Cortex-A8 and believe me i ran Benchquadrant on both of them i got on Scorpion 1512 while in ARM Cortex 2130! Which both are 1 GHZ! So it doesn't matter if 1.5 GHz Scorpion it matters the processor should be ARM Cortex-A9 1.2 with Exynos chipest Also this version has low end GPU (Adreno)it's the same in Dell Streak but newer

  • Best of the GS2: 1.5ghz instead of 1.2. Up to 42mbps connectivity. 1800mah battery (Sprint, too) 4.5" screen (Sprint, too) I don't like the rounded edges, though.

  • This phone is cool,how i wish i could lay my hand on one when it's out.

  • Hey Guys...Enjoy some official photos of the T-Mobile bound Galaxy SII with the dragon breathing inside....!!!

  • very bad man

  • "It is the fault of Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile who insisted on having their own specific versions with different hardware, carrier logos and carrier apps (and then the carrier testing to make sure all the changes they demanded work correctly on their networks)." thus the reason this is taking so long for the states!

  • when s3 will come every thing has its own limits

  • Nexus Prime will be available with HSDPA 1700 band for T-mobile?

  • This phone is cool and it will play x-plane very good

  • Nope, this phone will not support at&t 3g.

  • Wait for the Galaxy S 3 its twice as fast and has more to offer. Patience is key!! If you buy this then of course what always seem to happen is the 3 will then launch once you buy the 2

  • anybody knows if this phone gonna support at&t 3g bands?

  • wow its verry nice 41mbs HSPDA w0w amazing and 1.5GHZis it the best of samsung?

  • hey guys,im still waiting for this phone like many others.I think what they did not having the exynos processor was a setback :/ should i wait or go for the international version? Im just worries if i get the international version and staying to tmobile if it will have full 4g service??? can someone answer this for me???? thanks in advance!

  • Best of the GS2s w/ it's ability to do 42mbps and it's bigger screen. Not the prettiest, but the best. Between the delay in release and T-Mobile's shaky future, I still have doubts that this will make it to production.

  • nice

  • Is this going to be for Europe to?

  • specs are in. 4.5 inch screen. 1.5 Ghz Qualcomm APQ8060 SoC. 1080p screen super amoled plus. 8 mp camera. not official, but very likely to have 42 mbps.

  • Says who? No specs are out, we only have assumptions

  • fantastic phone and battery life

  • yes it does. Was confirmed at Samsung IFA 2011

  • This version does NOT support the exynos chipset!

  • Looks more sweet with little curve and capacitive button, perfect

  • omgg!! can't wait for this monster to come out!!!!

  • One word: Powerful!

  • can this phone work in nigeria

  • This is really a monster phone. I was a bit wary that the T-Mobile version might not get the powerful Exynos chipset. But it has made it. I am definitely going to to get one.and the 1800mah battery should be powerful enough to provide all the juice to the Dual core A9 and demanding Mali-400 GPU:)
