[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
yes they have preorder. we do not know if the nexus will be out in the 30 day window. that's the issue.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Yup me too that's bull crap I do want the nexus s tho always wanted one since nexus one but I can't stand T-Mobile, which btw my company is with T-Mobile and hate it

Me: you called me?

Co-woker : yeah I did but you didn't answer the phone

Me : well I didn't notice, my phone barely ring once

Co-worker : oh probably is crappy T-Mobile service

Me: mmm yeah just call me at my personal phone next time

I swear this happens to me almost 1 or 2 times at day and hate it, that's where sprint becomes reliable (at least where I live)
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i was going to go t-mobile until i found out at&t bought them.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Ha ha right? I'm still wondering about that, but not man there data speeds are faster then sprint but latency is always higher so looking a web pages is not that faster, just like att I been all around never been halide then with sprint, besides the ****ty phones (Echo) they come out with sometimes
[EVO 4G General] mustangboy88:
This may be off topic, but I too fell into your situation and had to upgrade to my Evo before the April 1 deadline. I was able to jump in the best buy buyback program for free.

So this is what is spurring my question. When I look at what the retail price for phones on bb.com compared to sprint's retail prices, bestbuy is almost $100-200 more. (e.g. sprint Evo $450/ BB Evo $600) Has anyone tried to get them to pricematch sprint when buying a phone at retail price? If you go to bestbuy's pricematch policy the first FAQ is

"What is considered a local retail competitor? "

and the answer is ....

"A retail store located in the same market area as your local Best Buy store."

The reason I ask is this. On the same web page there is a link for a New York Price Match Class Action lawsuit about a similar situation where an individual bought a camera from Best Buy then found the same camera at a "local" camera retail shop for less and BB wouldn't price match it. And this individual one. (Reference the Decision and Order Document. The conclusion is on the bottom of page 31)

Note : There is more to the story, but this is what started the wheel turning in the lawsuit. I recommend reading that specific document thoroughly so you can see how scandalous retail can be.

I can understand not matching contract prices, although in the past they have for me. But in this case we are talking "retail" price. I have up til August to get 50% for my Evo ($300) and I was thinking for future sake how i would attack the upgrade. I could either do an ETF (about $180) and lose my mobile #, but pay contract price ,or I could just cash in the Evo for the program and buy phone at retail.

Has anyone had any experience with this situation with BB?

To the original poster...if you feel this may derail your thread, just PM me and I will remove it. Thought maybe this may bring some light for purchasing your next phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonny68:
For the HD2 as the thread title says, i know there was a build by which i didn't flash and it was only for testing but im wondering if any other devs have come up with any solutions to the problems and wondering if it will be possible in time to have a stable everyday Honeycomb build for the HD2.

I use Coredroid as my daily build at present and very good it is too,i may bypass Gingerbread altogether if the devs manage to get a stable everyday build working.

PS-I do realise these things take some im just making an inquiry before anyone tries to flame me.:)

It might not be a flashable zip. Name the zip bootanimation.zip if it isn't already and slide it into your system/media folder with a file manager like root explorer. Then reboot.

[Android Apps and Games] I Am Marino:
Look for Google's Market to start getting improved vastly especially if Amazon's really kicks off.

I hope so. In three years, Google has made literally 0 functionality improvements in searching the Market on an Android device.

[Android Apps and Games] stab244:
Its fine by me. Not the best and I already have most of the apps I want. I only got it for the Angry Birds Rio game. I'll probably be checking it everyday to see what the free app is though.
[Android Apps and Games] slow23:
But still no alternative payment methods. Even unable to d/l free apps (which i can with market).
[Android Apps and Games] stab244:
Well I just found one issue that I have with it. The header for the damn thing is too freaking large. Over half my screen is stuck with that header. Not much scrollable space for me. And that's on my HD2's large screen. I feel for those with less than 4" screens.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilSlater:
Not me. It is clumsy. Go to a catagory, like Utilities. Note half the screen is useless and you can see maybe 3 things at once.

Signing up and getting 1-click (required) turned on was painful.

Worst of all, after faking up some data and downloading Angry Birds Rio, and freezing their auto-starting app store in Titanium Pro, ABR wouldn't run!

Bogus in extremis.

So they have a few extra sorting or filtering options. Big deal. Google's beats Amazon's black & blue.
[Android Apps and Games] InGeNeTiCs:
I downloaded the amazon app store just to get angry birds rio, then uninstalled the app store, and surprise surprise angry birds pops up a message telling me I need to reinstall the app store and log in. That's bogus right there. Both uninstalled. I'll wait until it shows up in the android market. I'm not keeping that piece of crap around just to play angry birds.

[Android Apps and Games] rangeela2331:
No. I still think Market is better
[Android Apps and Games] tehseano:
It has some cool options, but lacks others. Such as uninstalling an app from it. Sure I can do it in adw and whatnot, but thats extra steps that I don't wanna have to take. Plus it counts every download as a "purchase", so I get an email every time I install an app, regardless of whether its paid or free. Theres no notification for the progress of your downloads. It also doesn't automatically open the install dialog if you're not in the app. So I think its got a lot of work before it even comes near the performance of the android market.

[Droid Incredible General] smokeydriver:
I have my incredible running CM7 RC2. I tried out incredikernel (2.6.37.4-incredikernel-gb-3182011). My battery is running way hot (set cpu was purchased but not even installed currently) and dying pretty quick. I had my phone fully charged at 9 AM, and the battery was at 40% by noon...I had barely even used it. How can I revert back to the kernel that comes with CM7 RC2 (I've seen plenty of suggestions on kernels...but nothing great on one- feel free to suggest if you'd like). THANKS!
[Droid Incredible General] Fergusonfox7:
Just reflash.
[Droid Incredible General] smokeydriver:
Yeah, but I have everything set exactly as I like it...and when I re-flash, I do a full restore, clear cache, wipe dalvik, and restore from titanium one at a time (when I don't do this way, it typically seem to lose wifi after a couple days and have to start all over again). Which is why I was hoping for a way to just download the CM7 RC2 standard kernel independently. Plus, with a re-flash my way, all my settings are lost- quite annoying. Perhaps I'm just doing way too many steps?

Just do a search for slayher#9. That's the kernel your looking for.

The new Velocity and Stormdroid are both 2.2.2, so you can use those. As for 2.3, like he said, CM7 doesn't work on the Ally and most likely never will because of the radio. Sad, but true.

[Captivate General] rjblack11:
I have read and read and read and read and have found that there is no CLEAR answer to the FM radio question (one tear downer claims there is definitely no FM radio chip but that there is hope of a transmitter(DIFFERENT I THINK) somewhere in the PHONE). SOOO i propose a bounty of $20 to the one who can give me a %()^*#@$ radio app so i can listen to my talk radio station on my phone. AND A $5 bounty to the person who can get ATandalsoT to admit they falsely advertised that there is an FM radio chip somewhere on the SGHi897. WHO'S WITH ME?

note to mods: please close thread if you are convinced this is impossible
[Captivate General] zelendel:
I wont close it as I agree I have not found a 100% sure answer but i am 99% sure it doesnt have the hardware. I also never saw ATT admit that it did, even in the training docs I got it never mentioned it, It was one of the reasons I wanted to hold off getting it.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I also missed the FM radio of my Tilt 2, but I found this item on eBay that gives me pretty much what I want via BT and I can use it standalone without the phone if I want. Bought one about amonth ago and have been very happy with it. Call and music quality are excellent and battery life is better than 20 hours running and more than a week on standby. I also have a pair of Motorola S9s, but I prefer the in-ear style of these for mountain biking. Price has dropped $15 since I bought mine.

I use Iheartradio and Tunein radio for all my local channels and Talk radio. Give it a try.
[Captivate General] tjsooley:
I would add $25 to get a fully working fm radio with no other hardware.

it might have the hardware as the wifi/BT chip is the same as in the SGS.

The antenna may not be solder on the headphone jack.
[Captivate General] DAGr8:
as in many devices this is most probably the definite answer , YES the h/w is there but its not connected ..

Tune in Radio is free and definitly worth it ..
[Captivate General] rjblack11:
thanks tunein has my shows! bounty still out for working fm radio app. tunein=digital
[Captivate General] Rrryan2:
The Captivate uses the Broadcom BCM4751, which is GPS only. The I9000 series SGS uses a different broadcom chip which includes FM radio. There is no way to get true FM radio no matter what bounty.
[Captivate General] rjblack11:
what about FM transmitter? couldn't that be different? it would be pretty awesome wireless playback on car stereo without BT
[Captivate General] Rrryan2:
It doesn't have FM anything. Period. The device itself doesn't have the physical capability. No amount of coding is ever going to change that.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
im not sure that that is true, the old development thread had seemingly knowledgable people that thought at least one chip had fm capabilities.

problem is that without an antenna the chip is useless. if any one knows the hardware and driver coding that's great but modifying for an antenna is a problem. i dont know jack about coding and drivers but i can solder and know a couple clever ways to solder to surface mount boards fairly safely. maybe when i get a substitute for the captivate i can be a guini pig but first somebody needs to see if there are any chips that can support fm radio, if the chip can output to the dac in any way and see if they can replace or edit the samsung drivers and anything else. then if there is some posibility and a dev that will commit themself to the software we can think about making an antenna.

ill put up money if someone decides to take the chalenge. also would like to try a ffc mod but that will require some butchering of the phone, i need an infuse or galaxy s 2 before i butcher the cappy.
[Captivate General] Rrryan2:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/GPS/GPS-Silicon-Solutions

The 4751 used in the Captivate has no FM capability. None. Zero. Nada. Those seemingly knowledgeable people might have seemed knowledgeable, but they were speculating. Even the manufacturer states it doesn't have FM.

Broadcom makes a chip with FM transmitter (2076) but this doesn't have it. You can only code a driver if you have the SDK from Broadcom, and you can only get the SDK if you're one of Broadcom's customers (i.e. Samsung). This is a fool's quest.

The antenna would actually be the simplest part: the I9000 uses the headphone cord as the antenna.

If you really want FM that badly, get a $5 radio.
[Captivate General] rjblack11:
well it was merely a quest. only lasted 48 hours lol.

I guess we can all agree that there's no chance this is gonna happen. sorry cappy, good luck to ur younger bro sgs 2
[Captivate General] Dani897:
ahh, i re read it, (it's been months since i looked at it) now i see that some models of the galaxy s have a dedicated fm chip si4709 or something. and some have a gps chip that can support fm bcm4329, the speculation was about the bcm4329 chip which is not in the captivate but once the conversation got started about that chip people were dicussing it for phones with that chip and there was little in the thread noting that it did not actually apply to the captivate. somehow it was only mentioned maybe once that the captivate doesnt use that chip. there is no evidence that the si4709 chip is there or properly connected. i must have over looked the model gps chip they were discussing last i read the thread.

and yes i know many devices use the headphones as the antenna the problem had there been a fm radio chip that was hardware disabled would be esablishing a connection to the headphone jack. knowing where to put the wire is one thing. soldering it in there is another. you cant just use an old soldering iron on these things.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
The flashing zips isnt "within" the app when you open it. Open the app and then hit the top button. This will hijack the boot process. Then press on "success" when it comes up. Then press "reboot recovery". This will reboot your phone into the hijacked recovery and allow you to do a full backup of your phone. Use the volume up/down keys to.navigate and the camera button to select. Go to backup/restore, then backup.
