[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJerman:
We can't tell you for sure until it's announced in each region, but it's definitely worth the wait to find out. You're talking about buying a last gen phone vs a cutting edge phone basically. Do you want to spend $500 and have an already outdated phone, or maybe roughly the same, maybe a little more for a top of the line phone? The Nexus S is a great phone for sure, but this is a fast paced industry and with the dual core CPUs and the new SAMOLED+ screen, I think it's worth the wait and maybe a little more money.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBlueGreen:
Its a no brainer for me.

SII of course.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Perhaps waiting for a few weeks will give you some clear cut details on the launch and costing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
SGS II without a doubt. The Nexus S is a great phone, but doesn't hold a candle to the SGS II.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynikalJ:
Yea get the galaxy s 2 just don't expect any software updated...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyBallz:
That is where the phone being not boot-locked and XDA developers come in...and personaly for me this will be the deciding factor as I know how slow both my carrier (A$&$) and Samsung about releasing software updates.:rolleyes:rolleyes::p

Samsung have been improving with frequence of updates however...at least for some phones...

Nexus S is a cool phone but I could never understand why they castrated some parts off of it.:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttes:
Updates are nice, yes, but since the phone comes with 2.3, it probably won't be a big deal to me. The wait from 2.1 to 2.2 was horrible because Flash is such a huge addition, but have they said what the killer feature will be past Gingerbread? I doubt it'll be as huge as Flash was.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Went ahead and got the NS, glad I did, I will be happy with it as it is the full google experience, great looking phone, SAmoled, I mean it has everything I need, Im sure the SAmoled+ will be cool but thats the main thing I would want, back when I had the captivate only things I wanted was that ATT would not block apps, a camera flash, and a FFC, now I have it all! What more do I need, perhaps in 1 1/2-2 years I get the Dual Core stuff, but for now Im sure the NS will be perfect for me and my needs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overlord Yuri:

so yesterday i returned my moto xoom because it was overheating b4 i even rooted it. i got a nexus s and now it is bricked. 2dasy im going to have 2 return it. can any1 help me figureout a good excuse to tell the future shop return people? looks pritty bad i return 2 devices in less then 24 hours

edit: the last thing i did was flash gri74 back to stock. im guessin the bootloader is my issue. soo my phone technically isnt hacked or unlocked. just bricked so they cant see my device was rooted.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
sounds like you overcooked the SNS setting it too high?

did you install any custom ROM ?

have you tried flashing it back to stock?

does the phone turns on at all?

make sure the battery is fully charged
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
i didnt cook anything i dont think

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
just tell them the phone was very hot when you woke up after leaving it charging overnight

defective phone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
thx thats exactly what i did. grabbed a htc desire hd instead since nexus s is for the advanced user. i consider myself an advanced user but i had major issues wth the nexus s. even after reflashing gir74 or whatever it was called, i didnt have a working radio. which i tried flashing and resulted in a brick. thx alot 4 the advice. and i hope the nexus users create a noob proof guide 4 this phone as if sum1 with as much expierience with android as me is having issues, i can only imagine whut a complete noob would b thinkin about if he tried rooting. check my htc desire noob proof video guide here:

[General Questions and Answers] jonalexgalaxy:
Hi all

I'm looking to find an app that combines the best features of dialers and the android (or is it samsung?) contacts app.

Basically, i love being able to open up the dialer, and type in the name on an alphanumeric keyboard which is open on default. This means to find a name takes about a second, and about 2 or 3 strokes of a key.

BUT, all dialers i have tried, once you click on the contact, open up the contact, and then you still have to click "call" and "yes, i am freaking sure!".

I LOVE the feature on my stock contacts app for swiping left to message and right to call. I want that feature in a dialer app to minimize the effort required to call or sms.

Anyone able to recommend a good app that makes calling and messaging contacts a breeze?

Thanks in advance!

JonAlex
[General Questions and Answers] brainwash1:
Try AContact. It has a few settings that you can fiddle with and is pretty fast.
[General Questions and Answers] ksavai:
Im using go contacts since month... its good. serves my purpose. And It got what you want if I understand properly.
[General Questions and Answers] chanw4:
Nope, you can't swipe to dial or message in Go contact
[General Questions and Answers] berkley:
I'd go for "Dialer One", but it's a matter of taste. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] jonalexgalaxy:
I'd ALSO go for dialer one.. in fact i used dialer one for a while.. but i didn't like:

1. No swipe to dial/message function, meaning that it was not an ideal replacement for stock contacts

2. Shows all numbers of a contact as separate contacts. I have 6 friends called matt, which means when i type in matt, it shows me over 20 phone numbers for matts. fail.

I will give go contacts a try...

Is the only reason why the swipe to dial/call function has not been added to all these dialers because the devs haven't thought of it? if so, what a huge oversight. If not, why not??

If the stock contacts app opened with an alphanumberic keyboard, i would consider it the best dialer.

Keep suggestions rolling people!
[General Questions and Answers] chanw4:
AFAIK, the stock SGS 'dialer' can search for contact name. like say matt, you can dial in 6288 (for matt). however, a little problem with the dialer is that you can't swipe to call except for log and favourite list.

The stock contact include a search bar at the top when you open it. It should do what you want to do.
[General Questions and Answers] YoungSinema:
Have you tried RocketDialer?
[General Questions and Answers] jonalexgalaxy:
i tried rocket dialer today. it does have some nice features, although having a price isn't one of them. I live in South Africa and can't pay for these things cos google wont let me!

I really like the look and feel of the stock contact app, and could easily replace the dialer with an alphanumeric keyboard, but the reality is that having to hit the searchbar, and then type in someone's name on a portrait qwerty keyboard doesn't make me happy like the T9 dialers.

I would PAY (if i could) if someone tweaked the stock contacts app to include a dialer.
[Thunderbolt General] stevessvt:
When using in car, playing music from Pandora, and using google navigation phone uses more power than what charger can provide. Ive got it on a fast charger, so its supplying more current than a standard one,....its not overheating because when it does the charge light blinks green then red. Screen is on all the time during navigation and set at 30%. Anyone have same experience? My Droid X would keep charging in same situation. This is going down in charge %. I was using das bamf rom, just switched to Perfect Storm 1.2, maybe will make a difference?

Also when plugged in to power its underclocked to 768mhz.
[Thunderbolt General] stevessvt:
Would switching kernals make a difference?
[Thunderbolt General] MileHighAko:
What is the amp output of your car charger? I'm pretty sure you need at least 1amp to feed this device while using GPS and data. maybe 750ma will do it, but most recent phones, tablets, mifi devices, etc. require at least 1a.
[Thunderbolt General] ilogik:
Same thing is happening to me, I dont think the charger puts out enough juice. I've ordered a verizon 2amp dual USB adapter, hopefully it will put out enough to charge the device.
[Thunderbolt General] stevessvt:
This is the charger,..

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...&skuId=1114106&st=phone car charger&cp=1&lp=9

Not sure of its output.

Let me know how the 2 amp works for you.
[Thunderbolt General] wctaylor79:
I use the one sold at the Verizon Corp stores and use Pandora daily with no issues when charging.. Chrages up if it was under 100 and stays at 100 when it gets there..
[Thunderbolt General] stevessvt:
But I am using GPS with screen on the whole time, curious if you are too?
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
Turn your screen off. Navigation and Pandora will keep playing and your battery will slowly charge.
[Thunderbolt General] stevessvt:
I guess your right,...it must be more of a power hog than my X was using the same charger.
[Thunderbolt General] moww:
I've used Last.fm streaming with GPS navigation and screen on for multiple hours at a time without any battery drain. I don't know what car charger I'm using (an unofficial one that I bought for my Moto Droid), but I've been running the Das Bamf kernels for the most part. Even before I installed any of those kernels I never noticed any battery drain while plugged.
[Thunderbolt General] DJ_Colo:
Same problem here.

I have a Belkin micro-charge 1A. Can't use navigation and Pandora without losing charge. I had the same problem with the iPhone before I bought the 1A charger, the 500mah wasn't powerful enough.

And turning off the screen when you're in navigation mode defies the purpose.

Do you turn off the screen of your Garmin or Tomtom while navigating? I didn't think so...

Let us know if a 2A charger does help.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Thunderbolt General] stevessvt:
I called Rocketfish to try and find out just how much powa the charger I posted earlier put out. They didnt know, lol. They said usually its posted in their system, but that one wasnt.

But, after thinking about it, I had the screen on 100% brightness because of glare I was getting. Will tone it down and went to utkanos kernal and see how that rides out.
[Thunderbolt General] hyatari:
You need to get a charger with more power. I got one made for an ipad. It has 2 USB ports. Made by scouche or something like that. Had this issue with multiple chargers even on my droids.
[Thunderbolt General] RogerPodacter:
this is completely normal for other phones too, like the nexus one. using NAvigation with the car dock pulls more power than the charger can supply, so the phone slowly drops while charging. not much can be done about it. i bought a 1.3 amp car charger. helps a bit.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bukem75:
Now that Samsung is faster, thinner, and lighter than the ipad 2, apparently that doesn't matter to steve jobs any more.

Thoughts?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyEpaPEbjzI
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] htowngator:
Honestly, isn't it the case now that Jobs isn't spearing the marketing campaign anymore? The commercials lack the douchey weird quality that they had and now almost seem boring, cold. Maybe it's just me...

But yea, when one marketing strategy doesn't work you shift to another.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bukem75:
Ipad 2 strategy up to now has been mostly about speed, weight, size, and to a much lesser extent, apps. Now that the first three are not theirs for much longer, apple is doing damage control marketing to go back on what they said before... Speed, weight, and size are nice... But it's all about the apps... Standard apple douche move.

Sure it sounds bad, but I cannot wait for jobs to die. Then some of the dislike I have for apple might go... But I doubt it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Wdustin1:
Haha well I don't Llke Steve jobs either but I don't really want him to die but to each their own I guess haha
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
Are you serious right now? You want someone to drop dead because they know how to market their products properly? Apple is a business. Business is about money. If you have to bash your competition, and make your product seem like a god compared to all the others, you will do it. Hate him if you will, he knows what he is doing. He is a sleezy business man making millions with a cult like following for his brand. However, his attitude is a major flaw. He doesn't seem like the nicest of people.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bukem75:
Yes, I think jobs is a prick and an elitist arsehole since I became aware of him in the 80ies. It's mostly his personality (snobbish commercials and lack of choice in hardware also) that keep me from giving apple a fair shake when evaluating their products. With him truly out of the picture... The choice in hardware is better...

Like you said, cult of personality. I can't stand cults
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DKYang:
Isn't Jobs on medical leave still? Since I haven't read news about "OMG, Steve Jobs is now back and doing well again!" But then again, I don't know the process these big companies go through.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] checkbox111:
What apple has over any android tablet is availability here the the uk, you can walk into any electronics retailer and buy an ipad, but if you want an android tablet (example asus transformer, acer iconia which are both for sale) 'can i buy one today, over the counter'? no you'll have to order one which takes a week :eek:

What's the point of having electrical retailers that don't know what retail means?

The basics of supply and demand :mad:

If i wanted to buy online and wait a week i would buy from ebay :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
In here the Netherlands, you must wait a month to get an ipad2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tyrian89:
You can walk into pc world and buy an android tablet over the counter and buyitdirect sell them over the counter too. Including the acer iconia.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] checkbox111:
PC world have never heard of the Asus transformer, and the iconia is mail order only :mad:

Buyitdirect won't have the transformer until may.

On the television news today they're stating that retails sales are lowest for 11 months!! is it hardly surprising. If you read a review about something that's ****, and would spend twice the time being repaired than what you would using it, then we've got loads of those, but if you want something that's remotely decent we don't stock it in store.

Might as well live in outback Botswana :mad:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vamp6x6x6x:
It may be going about it different but usually big corporations tend to try something new if the first doesnt work. I can't blame Steve Job...but then again I'm not a super hardcore wish someone dead for making a ipad commercial android fan.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tyrian89:
You can get a vega, xoom and one or two other android tablets at pcworld.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] epicfailguy2:
Ahaha, I love how apple, having nothing to show except scaled up iphone apps is forcing into the ad "medical professionals uses of the ipad".

Not only this looks elitist and even colder but it is also completly unappropriate for medical use. I do work into the field of radiology and hell a 1080* res screen is way way way too much fail to look at radios or CT scans. You'd have to zoom in all the time and miss the bigger picture. Another point is also that a iOS device cannot plug into a classic medical environment that is 99% of the times using windows computers or remote servers without even a WIFI connectivity for security reasons.

Too long didn't read : Apple ipad2 makes you a doctor and allows your spoiled children to draw numbers with their fingers while their brain and cerebellous white matter is wiring, so that obviously, they won't even be able to handle a pen later on. Technology is not enough, you just need the smug.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] htowngator:
Yea the whole medical app thing is a bit comical to me. I guess it's nice to have, but so what? 99.9% of the people who own an iPad don't buy one for the functionality mentioned there. Apple touted "thinner, lighter, faster" until none of those were true anymore and now it's "all about the apps". Outside of Netflix, there's nothing that it has that I want.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] willverduzco:
Title Changed

Thread title changed to something a little bit less... aggressive.

While I agree that the commercial is excessive, what marketing isn't. Let's keep it friendly in here, as many users here on XDA also happen to like iPads.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DensoYamaha41:
Below is recent iPad 2 commercial from apple about how great there product is. It is half way down the page. You have to watch a 30 sec ad before the video plays.

[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
I would love to see a poll of "What ROM are you using on your dinc" or What is your favorite ROM".
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
Can we get a poll on what Rom is the most popular?

overground's post before closing that thread:
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
I would like to see the poll numbers, period. I'm not interested in the reasons or the debates. I think it would be a mistake not to allow the vote because you want to avoid the discussions you anticipate. What does it matter anyway if people get into a heated discussion?...1- you don't have to read it. 2- that's why we have moderators. A forum should not avoid threads on controversial issues.
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
That's even more worthless than the arguments. If you just have people clicking a button, how do you know what else they've tried? What use is it to know that Redemptive Revolution is John Smith's favorite ROM if John Smith has never used any other ROM?

That's one of the many reasons that raw numbers from such polls is generally worthless. You don't know whether any given vote is being cast by someone with solid experience, or some guy who is brand new to Android and thinks that the new ROM he just flashed is pretty. Clearly, these two votes should carry different weight, but in a poll they do not.

Besides, I do not believe that the forum software allows for a poll without an open discussion thread. If you would like to set up your own poll using another site's software, nothing is stopping you.

I don't care one way or the other. I'm just a member. You're right: I can ignore such a thread.

But the quote I posted was from a moderator here, so your point that "that's why we have moderators" is short-sighted and not your call to make. Just because you think that mods should spend their time looking after an unnecessarily heated discussion does not mean that they want to spend their time that way.

I don't really care about this subject one way or the other: I just thought it would be helpful to provide you with a link to one of the countless "best ROM" threads and a quote directly from a Mod on why such threads are discouraged.
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
You make good points byrong. I can understand that moderators don't want to spend a lot of time in such a debate, especially if it gets heated.

I also see how some opinions are more experienced and valuable than others. I also know that what makes a ROM attractive to one person another person might not care at all about, and that there there are a tremendous amount of variables to be considered in a single vote. All that said, In the aggregate when there is a large amount (thousands?) of votes, I think the result might be interesting to see. Maybe your right though and it would just be more noise than information.

Certainly if the forum software does not allow for poll vote pages this discussion is moot and maybe a bigger waste of time than the proposed thread might be!
[Droid Incredible General] incubus26jc:
Why didnt you just make this thread a poll? Its weird that you started a thread wanting to see a poll but you could of just made this thread a poll. You still could make this a poll by clicking on Thread Tools. Weird
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
Ha- I remember wondering why I never saw polls on XDA and I thought I had noticed in the past there was no option to start a poll in the thread tools. I see now I could have, duh :o

At this point I'm almost swayed against it but I am going to try the thread tool and start the poll right after this post.

BTW- thanks for WarmZ, one of the few I've tried and a great ROM imho!

Edit- Never started a poll before. Of course I would I have to list all the ROMS as choices. Going to take a little ahhh...effort, and will have to wait a bit. I have to start on my taxes!
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
Well taxes done but I now realize byrong is right and how pointless this would be. Hopefully this thread will be yanked.
