[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
you have a link to the bootanimation ?

this thing is driving me crazy :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KLoNe1:
BOOT ANIMATIONS: A series of image files which is

REPEATED

over and over (loops) until the phone loads.

Seriously; how come people don't understand this incredibly simple description? The animation LOOPS! You've just created an INCREDIBLY specitacular boot animation, why not finish it off by having it fade out or fade off screen so when the animation restarts the LOOP it doesn't look UNFINISHED?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valdigre:
Hi,

I have Go SMS Pro installed and disabled sound notifications in the stock Messaging app, however... When I get new messages and read them in Go SMS, I get a notification icon in the stock App (number of new unread messages) as well as in the social Hub, to which the stock messaging app belongs as well.

Any ideas how to disable it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trungdaika:
Use titanium back up and freeze the " badgetProvider". But it will give u forceclose notification everytime u get a message.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valdigre:
So another words, there is no menu option for doing this :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibb1982:
Hi I also use Go SMS pro, and was hoping bypass the use of the stock messaging app.

Have you had any joy with this? Also is it possible to change the default homescreen icon for messages to open GO SMS Pro instead of the stock?

TIA
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feiief:
I use Go SMS Pro, too. But I don't have any problem having a notification coming from the stock messaging. What I did is I unchecked all the boxes from the menu of the stock. That's what I did from my old x10i, too. Works well for me. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardofoz85:
As above, this sorted out the issue for me.

In the settings for the stock messing client uncheck the notifications box and that should get rid of it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taivm:
Go to the App Drawer, press Menu button, tap Edit, you can then drag and drop GO SMS icon over the stock one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
I like GO SMS Pro i always used this with my HD2 but the stock SMS on the GS2 is a massive improvment on previous android efforts and i think ill keep this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vil-2:
Just uncheck the notification setting in the stock sms menu?
[HTC Sensation] satru:
What is a gold card?
[HTC Sensation] Smasher816:
I don't know exactly. But it is a hex edited SD card that let's you downgrade. (I used it on my moms HTC inspire)
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Before the likes of Unrevoke, you needed to make a gold card as part of the process to root your phone.
[HTC Sensation] satru:
Thanks for you answer
[HTC Sensation] silverwolf0:
Back in grade school they use to give you Gold Cards for getting A's and you could redeem them for chocolate bars at the grocery store or small pizzas at Pizza Hut.

[Nexus S General] williamj1:
The price has now fallen to £300 in the UK. (Even the AMOLED version).

£306.60 AMOLED - http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/mobilephone/samsung-google-nexus-s-mobile-phone.html

It's not cheap enough to justify a £150 upgrade from my Desire just yet, but if it falls to £250 I think I will make the switch to a nexus s.

What do you all think?
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
Wills your as tight as a ducks ass and thats watertight;P lollol

Spend your dough, and enjoy your phone;) Im a student and even im no way near that tight, lollol

JD
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
And thats the s-lcd version, lollol

i9023 is slcd;P

JD
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
LOL! Trust you to come on and comment.

I want to buy it so bad, but I'm not going to at that price. I'd rather save for a SGS2 :p I was only alerting others to the deal...

And did you get yours safely and was it sealed?

:D
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
Yeah it was sealed,

I sent my black one back and bought the pimped out white version by at&t, shipping as we speak... Check it out, its the one thats all white except for the screen, its the i9020a, its hot as all hell;P

But i generally dont worry about my bank balance too much, im off to do some mega shopping up town today as well, I love spending money;P

JD
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
Lucky you! I just hope you appreciate it. Nothing gets on my nerves more when I see all these rich kids with the newest phones who are like "how do I turn it on, what's android?" ! I work my socks off to afford these things ;)
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
Well im definitely not a rich kid as im studying at university for a degree in computer networking(BEng) and I will soon be a Chartered engineer(CEng) ;) Also built themes for CM6 in my Nexus One days for the nightly ROM builds and built two custom ROM's for the HTC Desire so im not in either of the subsets you refer to;P Im just a guy that likes his phones and really like s enjoying the time he has with them.

Android and Cisco have been my world for the last year, and i have had the Desire, nexus one, desire z, desire hd, nexus x(9020t), sgsII, and now this pimped version of the nexus s;)

Picture of my new beast, I very much doubt if anyone in the UK has one of these darlings...

View attachment 603001
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
Call me weird, but I like the black version more ;) Never been much of a fan of white gadgets.
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
Funny enough me neither until i saw this, fantastic looking device, and as i had the all black before, this is a nice pimped up version for me;) SAMOLED looks beautiful with the black and white mixed;) And the added plesure of knowing this model is quite a rarity as not many have been produced so far, and they are not even available in the USA at the moment... So its gonna be rare as all hell here;) Will look even better when 3.1 drops, lollol

JD
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
If.... 3.1 drops ;)

I have to stop browsing this forum. It is making me want a nexus s sooooooooo bad. But my Desire is really awesome. It is not worth the £150 just for internal memory, better games and a front facing camera. If it falls to £250 I'm in like I say. Otherwise I save for something better.
[Nexus S General] Linus82:
Man thats cheap, just buy it already
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
The Nexus S is googles developer device now, so it will drop, at the I/O everything new was shown on a Nexus S so it will definitely drop for the NS. The question mark is how long will you have to wait for 3.1 on the SGSII. Samsung dont have a good reputation with upgrading their devices to the next OS. SGS1 still has not got official gingerbread, lollol

As a computer user, networker, builder and tentative app creator, the Nexus S for me is the best phone going. And the instant and constant updates is what makes a google phone special.

Take it from a guy that has been around android for a very long time now, There are really two phones at the moment to choose from, the SGSII and the NS, i would not let money affect your decision, let what you want out of the phones direct your decision to one or the other;)

good luck wills,

JD
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
lollollol,

I have seen many guys like wills on this forum before, and they cant seem to choose between the money aspect and enjoyment..,

I work on a different set of criterion, i work on the aspect that if its class, and i like it, i buy it, and enjoy it;)

So my advice to you wills is buy either of these beasts and enjoy it, dont let money be a factor. If money is a factor then you should not be buying high end phones because it will affect your judgement that should be based on quality;)

wow, that was deep

JD
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
Lol. It's not that.

Money is a factor to an extent. I do not have the money to just go out and buy a SGS2 new today for £500, or else I would do so.

I have to save my money before I can afford such devices. I don't chop and change between devices, I keep them for at least a year. So if I buy a nexus s now, I would be keeping it for a year. In a year, it will be forgotten and out of date. The SGS2 will not.

In a perfect world, I would buy a Nexus S now and keep it for 6 months, sell it and then buy something dual core / the nexus 3. But I cannot afford to do that.

I cannot justify buying a nexus s. I'd be spending £300 for hardly any new features. If I didn't have a desire, this would be a steal of a deal. But £150 is a lot for minor things.

I'm not even making any sense to me now. That is a load of crap ^. Simple - I want one. But I can't bring myself to spend the money I have saved on such little changes.
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
You will be waiting forever then mate,

Wait for the SGS3 coming out in september/november time with a 2ghz dual core;) that may have 3.1 then, and you can say to yourself, i am at the bleeding edge;)

JD
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
I will see. I might get some extra work in the next 1/2 months, so I might treat myself (especially if it falls lower). But then again, I might get even more money and treat myself to a nice new SGS2. It lacks all the dev community and custom roms etc though :( That could change though.
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
The dev community is buzzing over there, lots of people have bought it... The only problem is Samsung only give maybe 70 percent of their source code away, the other 30 percent is there own drivers so they dont have to make that public as per the GPL.

The good thing about the Nexus S is that its completly open and you will be able to run practically anything on it. Any branded Samsung device will always be better with stock roms because it has all the codecs and stuff that make it special..

I liked the SGSII, but for all its beauty I just could not get used to various things with it...

Love CM too, and that will never happen on the SGSII, and if it does it will be a retarded version due to lack of codecs and high level video recording;)
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
I appreciate your enthusiasm. But I am standing my ground. I am not paying £150 for such small improvements. If it falls to £250, I will buy it. Otherwise, I save.

(Unless I get lots of money or win the lottery).
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
lol,

wait a few weeks and your dreams may come true;)

There are NS sealed on ebay for 250 quid, buy one of them;)

JD
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
Find me a link. Legit sellers?
[Nexus S General] :
Cheapest i could find was 275 minus postage from a trader in HK. He has had over 2000 feedback. Its well known phones are cheaper in HK.

that would be your cheapest shot atm;)

JD
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
I'd pay £25 to get it from my link in the first post.

There is a cracking shop called CEX (cex.co.uk) which has stores all over the UK. I've used them loads and they are great. Last week, they had Mint condition ones going for 290, (they give an instore 12 month warranty too). They will fall in price soon, so I'm looking at them too.

If I get one I will let you know. I still don't think it will happen ;)
[Nexus S General] olyloh6696:
mate, get a sgs 2, you won't regret it! it will last you soooooooo long! a good investment.

effectively this nexus s is a sgs 1..

still it's up to you, whether you like a developer phone, or a dual core beast!

or the desire s?
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
I love / hate the Nexus S because...

+ it has 16GB internal memory

+ it gets updates first

+ there is a very strong dev community with loads of custom roms and mods

+ it is cheap

- it is not very different to my desire, and will be "old" soon

I love/hate the SGS2 because...

+ it is the most powerful android device

+ it will stay top (or be one of the best) for at least a year

+ it has hdmi and a killer camera

- it has no dev community, no good custom roms

- it is very very expensive

I love/hate the Desire S because...

+ it is cheap

+ I like HTC designs

- it is unrootable, it has no dev community, there are no custom roms

- it is not different to my desire really

- it will be "old" soon too, especially as HTC like to bring out new devices every second tuesday.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wish you could combine them all...

- dual core

- rootable, good dev community, custom roms

- cheap

That's what I want ^
[Nexus S General] :
Hahaha, jesus dude, you really are insane, hahaha

Just buy a phone already;P I think for your state of mind you should wait for the preorder of the SGS3 and get it on the day of release, or you will be thinking already about the SGS4 lollol...

JD
[Nexus S General] :
Agreed,

Hardware wise the SGSII is the better phone, and the hardware wll be top of the tree at least for 3-4 months, (QHD SAMOLED+ and 2ghz processor coming soon)

Software wise, the Nexus S will be here amd updated for the near future, and IS the developer phone for which they are building future OS's on;)

JD
[Nexus S General] olyloh6696:
desire S community is grwing ;) they have got 3 roms now :)

sgs 2 hardware beats every other phone hands down..... i think it should last another +1 year !

2 weeks back, sgs 2was going on o2 unlocked for £315 altogether on contract!!!!!!

you pay £10.50 , 24 months, quidco cashback

and then you can cancel boltons etc later, so you get the sgs 2 unlocked from o2 for £315, and you get a tariff with it!!!!!
[Nexus S General] :
Yeah its a great phone dude,

There really is only two great android phones at the moment and its the NS and the SGSII. The sensation is a mega fail, seen reviews and videos, the NS benchmarks quicker than the sensation, lollol

I Think this is the end for HTC personally

JD
[Nexus S General] olyloh6696:
hmmm. why does the sensation fail? it kinda looks nice :)

the sgs 2 is great, but the quality sucks... it's so cheap, i could crush it!it feels like a toy!
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
Benchmarks aren't everything. If they unlock the bootloader, it will be quite popular I'm sure.

RE SGS2.

I'm not up for another £13.50 coming out of my account each month for 2 years. I want to pay upfront. Me no like debt / owing things!
[Nexus S General] :
It has a benchmark of 2200 = Fail

Sense 3.0 = Fail

S-LCD = Fail

It has an off straight Yellow hue = fail

LOCKED BOOTLOADER = FAIL

I would list more but im out having dinner atm;) lol

JD
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
I don't agree.

Why is sense 3.0 a fail?

What is wrong with S-LCD - I would happily buy an S-LCD Nexus S

Locked bootloader is a fail atm, if they crack it it wont be.
[Nexus S General] :
The locked bootloader wont be cracked as its signed, or will take a very long time.

The slcd qhd screen used in the sensation has a off centre yellow hue, so if you think thats good then good luck to you.

Sense 3.0 is a bit to WP7ish for me, especially with the weather graphics, totally not for me.

Its nowhere near as good as the SGSII, and the SGSII benchmarks 3800 when the Sensation benchmarks 2200, (which is actually less than the Nexus S). The 1080p is juddery, and the audio is poor on recordings which is nothing new for HTC...

But if you like it buy it??

IMHO the G2X is better than the sensation, and that has a rebooting problem...

JD
[Nexus S General] :
I play with and research new phones all the time mate, i was at both HTC uk meetups, have been an editor at hemorrdroids.co.uk and been involved with android deeply for over a year and a half.

So when i say things, they are based on experience;) Not just to argue;) But if you dont agree with me thats up to you....

We cant agree on everything;) I dont call devices fail devices lightly... The Flyer is also a fail device too mainly due to pricing...

anyway we are moving away from the actual thread discussion,

If you check a SLCD up against a SAMOLED or SAMOLED + and you still think the SLCD is better then there is no point in having any further discussion because SAMOLED is universally accepted as the better screen, its why the I9020T & I9020a are more expensive.

Anyway i definitely think this thread has run its course, good luck with your future purchase;)

JD
[Nexus S General] draugaz:
It is just universally hyped. But by far not better. Just different with its own fair share of weaknesses.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
I always thought that it was no big deal between the 2 screens but damn I was wrong. Just today I compared my friend's ns with slcd to my amoled one. All I can say is that there is a big difference in colours. Also the amoled screen blend better with the black version of the phone.

To op:

In terms of longevity, I really think that the ns will survive longer than the sgs2. Rumors are already out of the next Samsung device in September (to compete with the iPhone 5 launch) and with a quadcore. How far it is true I have no idea but if you doubt the nexus line, just take a look at the n1. The phone is more than a year old but is still running the latest up to date android version!
[Nexus S General] :
Agreed, perfect logic mate;)

JD
[Nexus S General] lvnatic:
+1

Who cares about black? Except the settings menu there is almost no black on the screen (except if you just set a dark wallpaper). I need real and good looking white when I'm browsing the web, not greysh. People say its all about preference, but the SLCD on nexus has better visibility in the sun light and has the best looking colors from all the screens I've seen, and I've seen them all, except for the S-Amoled+.

Sense 3.0 looks great, HTC Sense in general is the best UI on android, It's "universally" accepted by people that it is.

And for some one who has been deeply involved with android for over a year and a half, I'm amazed at how much you prize this quadrant benchmarks. You should've known by now that they are not accurate, they do not reflect the day to day usage. HTC Sense ROMs in general are scoring low quadrant benchmarks and still they are very snappy and responsive.

There is no perfect phone on the market atm, samsung's builds for example are of low quality and crappy, while HTC devices are made of aluminium and have a premium feel. HTC has crap displays, while samsung totally dominates them at this chapter.

But Sensation is in no way a fail.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
No black??? You've got to be kidding me. If you saw an amoled screen on the nexus s, you'd be amazed. Let me give you some examples.. the status bar for example, you cannot even say where the edge of the screen starts.

Another is the black dialer...same story.you don't even see the border of the screen.

While I might agree that sense ui is great aesthetically, it is just full of bloatware. How on earth did you find them snappy and responsive??? I've had lot of HTC devices n I can tell you that they only feel snappy in the first few days. Just download 20 apps n you'll have the answer.

Quality wise HTC knows how to brainwash ppl. You are an obvious example! Having aluminium case means in no way that it is of high quality. I would take plastic with high class components anyday instead of aluminium with cheap components inside.

I have to agree with jupiterdroid, HTC is going down. Have you seen their latest devices? Apart from sensation, all of them are outdated hardwarewise.HTC flyer??? That's a joke. Regarding the HTC sensation, it might be a good phone for the normal guy but for the ones on xda(flashing maniacs), only considering the locked bootloader makes it a complete failure!

Guys since this thread is going to a SGS2 vs. Nexus S topic I might as well try to get my questions answered here.

I am on a iPhone 3GS and looking to switch over to android. So should get sgalaxy 2 or Nexus S?

Sent from my Nokia 3310
[Nexus S General] DopyG:
Btw Nexus S can only be bought with SLCD in my country. So it's kinds like SLCD vs. Samoled+...

Also it's dual core vs. Single.

But touch wiz... WHHHHHYYYYYY?

So what do you guys think? Ignore touchwiz and be future proof on the hardware or go for Nexus S?

Oh and how is nexus s battery life with SLCD?

Sent from my Commodore 64
[Nexus S General] :
Buy the NS if you want the cutting edge software, or buy the SGSII if you want cutting edge hardware.... You may wait a while for 3.1 though with the SGSII;(
