Another drop in the price of the Nexus S since it's launch. 320 GBP gets you a brand new Nexus S, today! Unfortunately, my phone is less than a week old. FML :(

This is the only thing I like about iPhone. Price hardly goes down and you get excellent price when you sell it.

Exactly my thoughts! My Nexus S suddenly feels like a cheap phone :(
[Nexus S General] pnnorth:
Interestingly thats for the s-lcd version, the s-amoled handset is still £430 on their website.
[Nexus S General] markread644:
If I wait a bit longer it will be cheaper to buy a new one that replace the cracked screen on this one (cries loudly at clumsiness)
[Nexus S General] guppetto:
Well, it looks like a new phone is coming soon. If I was a betting man, i'd say mid summer they'll roll out a new nexus phone. How fitting that they would quietly slide into Apples coveted summer release cycle.

I bought my Nexus S earlier this month, so I can feel the pain of anyone that watches technology grow old over night, but hey, it's not like your phone doesn't work as well today as it did yesterday, just because a faster version shows up. :o
[Nexus S General] lopezpm:
A faster version is always right around the corner. If you keep waiting for the fastest one you'll be waiting a long time.

Hmm decisions decisions

jump to the new i9100 or wait for the new nexus which is probably going to be the i9100 in a different skin bit like the difference between the galaxy s 1 and the nexus s

[Nexus S General] williamj1:
Wonder if any Nexus S users could give me a little advice...

I currently have an original HTC Desire, and the usual problems are really irritating me. Currently, (as I buy sim-free), I could sell my Desire for £150, and buy a new Nexus S for £218. That means an upgrade cost of £168. As I see it...

+ Hugely better internal memory

+ Better battery

+ Better graphics chip

+ 2.3 official software (but then I'm running CM7 on my Desire so irrelevant)

+ Front facing camera

+ Wifi N

+ Good selection of custom ROMs, but not as good as Desire IMO

- Less ram

- No physical buttons

- Silly button order (minimal I know, but frustrating)

- Not really an improved camera (stills)

- No 720p video recording

- Does it have a notification light?

(Did I miss anything? )

My dilemma:

+ / - not so much a nexus s issue, but is it really worth spending all that for a phone already going out of date in the dual core age? After all, a Galaxy S2 could be had for £80 more (£400). It's a lot of money still, but not in context. The changes aren't huge with the nexus s. Surely I would be better waiting for the dual cores to go down, then buy one of them?

Today,

A new Nexus S costs £318 sim free unlocked.

A new LG Optimus 2X (dual core tegra) costs £329 sim free unlocked (but I don't think I like it)

A new Samsung Galaxy S locked to O2 costs £400.

If I wasn't going dual core, I would go Nexus S. I love it. But I'm not sure it's wise now (going single core), as £168 is a lot of money for the minimal features of a Nexus S compared to the advantages of a SGS2. Problem is, I don't have £250 for that. I could afford a nexus s, but I'm not convinced it would be a wise purchase with these new devices out? Do you not think it is worth saving for a few more months, and getting a SGS2 or HTC Sensation instead?

Convince me? :P
[Nexus S General] Alpha Class:
just my opinion, the nexus s is not worth the upgrade

better off just getting a g2x or a sgs2 at this point, if you can wait a few months maybe see what the new nexus will offer

sry af974 i searched on HD7 general forum and i got nothing ><

so i repeat it again and i wish someone helps me

hello

i have HD7 from o2 in uk

and i don't know why you all use ROMs so plz can anybody reply to me what's the benefit of the ROM and what's the different between branded and unbranded ROM and is there any different when somebody flash a branded ROM or unbranded?

so if i flash a new ROM would my HD7 lock the network again or not?

and if i change my system to Android can i flash a ROM from here to return it to WP7 ?

and what ROM is perfect for my device?

plz anybody who have any answer reply it
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekksman:
Hi, you shouldnt really repeat to what you have already input, most information is readily available by reading, anyway by flashing a rom will not effect any network settings once network is unlocked it stays unlocked. new roms usually brings new features and applications, check by connecting your phone to Zune via your pc with internet connection

branded mean usually a carrier rom: 02, t-mo etc unbrandede is a non carrier specfic htc rom
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .neji:
tnx

i searched for an answers but i swear i didn't find anything :(

so what's better? branded ROMs or unbranded?

and can i use any rom or should i use rom that have the same radio version or somthing else?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekksman:
Its up to you really, I didn't want the 02 logo at startup so went for unbranded.

I would recommend just updating via Zune, this will update to the latest rom without erasing any data.

Rom flash will erase all data and applications

[Dell Streak 7] WorkingOnWise:
I used to rely on Shoot Me for my screen shots, and have used dropcap2 in the past, but on the streak 7, they both produce nothing but black images. dropcap2 has the option to swap endian, which I have done, for both png and jpg. I have also tried png and jpg in ShootMe, as well as high and medium quality, png and jpg, in both apps. No joy.

Im using a custom rom, Dell Streak 2.2.2 update with FULL ROOT, and having issues getting StreakDroid on my device. If this problem is a symptom of my flashing problems, then I will figure that mess out, but I need to know if this is a Streak 7 problem, or a "Keiths done screwed up his Streak 7 rom problem". Will someone please try both these apps on their streak 7 and report success/fail, and indicate what rom your using? At this point I dont know if its the rom or the device. If its the device, screen caps are important enough to me that I will have to get a different tablet. I reeeeeeeeeealy hope its a rom issue, or something that has a solution so I can keep using my streak 7.

Thanks

After streamfurious failed on both G2x and X10, I have to find another streaming radio application with custom URL, and give xiialive a try.

Yes, it not just works on both, but it has more streaming format support. After a few hours of trial, I paid 5 bucks to buy full version because I think it much worth to buy.

Try the free version and put a few custom URLs on favorites to see.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juiceppc:
Hello fellow mobile device junkies. I've got a major beef with recent Samsung Android phones. The 10% battery debacle. Samsung plays big brother and disables camera, videplayback and screen brightness when you battery hits 10% or less. YOU CAN NOT DISABLE THIS. Sorry but you can't. Don't tell me "disable powersave" it doesn't fix it. Now I understand there is a cab that may fix the camera issue but is there one that fixes the screen brightness issue? That one is my main problem. I had an online chat with Samsung and they told me that there is no way to disable these "features". I told them that is unacceptable and that I will not buy Samsung products until they make this an option or disable it.

Now, there are some seriously sweet Samsung phones out there now and I would love to use one but the 10% big brother battery issue annoys the **** out of me. Basically I only have 90% battery on my Samsung phone otherwise your just in emergency mode...

Can someone shed some inside info or fixes for this major annoyance? Does anyone else agree with me?

Hopefully the Holiday will come out for ATT soon and I'll just pick that and be done with Samsung's shannanigans.

Thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 41LY45:
Yeah, that "issue". Might wanna edit your title there. Kinda doesn't exactly show about the "flaw" :rolleyes:

IMHO, i don't exactly agree with you there as excessive draining/ overcharging of the battery will reduce it's lifespan (IIRC)

Anyways, when the thing reaches to 10% I just swap out the battery for a spare. :p

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa:
I dunno what you really mean with newest ROM.

Newest rooted stock ROMs don't give your phone much benefits as well as probable additional bugs.

Custom ROMs have more speed, less bloatware, more memory space, additional functionalities, etc. some even with newer android version.

1. I would find a stable custom ROM (not the experimental ones) so that you can have something more for your phone without the probable bugs.

2. The term bugs, it is relative, perhaps you won't be experiencing it like some people do with the respective ROM.
[Optimus 7 General] Keithod:
Hello,

Got a SIM free E900 from Pixmania. Haven't been able to send MMS using my o2 card although I did get it to work with my Vodafone card. I have tried all the usual like the LG network setup app, ADC -> Enabled, manually setting the profile and resetting the phone. I even flashed with the latest firmware (UK version).

I tried the SIM in a SE K550i and it could send MMS so I'm out of ideas.

I spoke to LG but their rep was useless and kept trying to convince me that the settings aren't stored on the phone despite me showing him where they are in the MFG menu. o2 have been more helpful but I think they're stumped too...

Any ideas?

Hi,

Need a bit more information.

Can you still boot into magldr (holding down power button after switching on?)

What operating system are you running on your pc/laptop?

How far did you get when you were fomatting your sd card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
i find it quite common that an android rom wont complete the first boot after flash. mostly, pulling teh battery and booting again solves it.

Its also far more common when you didnt wipe the partitions from the previous rom first. (CWM, wipe data/factory reset, you can later use cwm - advanced restore - and just restore data and sd-ext to get your data and apps from teh previous rom back)

Partitioning, could be a dodgy sd card, no suggestions

rampi.dll - was it rapi.dll? update activesync to latest version.

[Epic 4G General] andsamp:
I like keepass
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
I use this one. I like it because it is open-source and I can use the same data files on my PCs and my phone and it lets you compare and merge databases so you can populate new entries across each PC/phone:

http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

To me, the benefit of being open source is that I know other developers are watching the code and making sure there is nothing malicious in there.
[Epic 4G General] gdbassett:
I use lastpass.com

It runs on everything. Only encrypted data is stored on their server. And they are paranoid (as seen by the last 2 weeks where they took significant action over just seening an odd amount of data transfer). I like my security people paranoid.
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
Large scale accountability can accomplish the same thing. A major corporation with a reputation in security is just as trustworthy and far more 'watched' than the oft obscure nature of open source apps.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but as a coffee lover I don't encourage the consumption of Nescafe, and as a fan of open source I don't encourage false praise. It just makes one more inaccuracy for anti-FOSS types to latch onto and hurt adoption.

They noticed a larger-than-normal traffic flow from their database server. Because, in theory, this could have been transfer of parts of the database, they made everyone change their passwords. Just in case. Thats the kind of paranoia I like in a security firm.

Edit: Considering the security issues dropbox has had and their unwillingness to admit to them, I would personally avoid them. (That said, I'd assume keepass is doing all the encryption client-side before uploading to dropbox.)

You'll need a desktop version to create and maintain the password file/db (Android client is read-only at this point).

Put the file in the Dropbox folder.

Open it on the phone.

When you select an entry in the KeePass it will create to notification items, which allow you to copy user name and password to clipboard and paste it into the field where you need them.
