i went to a store today to play around with these phones

1. sgs2 - well doesnt luk worth the price, luks brittle in the hand .. dint excite me

2. htc sensation - i found the screen better than sgs2 cuz sgs2 screen just seems too bright n coloury but htc is more crisp n realistic .. but bad battery life

3. lg optimus 2x - good choice .. about $100 usd less than the top 2

4. xperia arc - impressive but laggy at time .. best camera of them all .. but same

price i'm gettin sgs2

5. samsung nexus s - I LOVED IT .. especially for the price .. and according to me

4.3 inch is too big to fit comfortably into jeans as well

its about $230usd cheaper than sgs2 .. so i think m gonna go

for it

THNX EVERYONE FOR UR REPLIES :)

[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
I am gonna return my 3VO for the Nexus-S 4G, Wife has it and I play with it more than my EVO-3D. I dare say it is a tad bit faster than my 3VO.

Plus the screen is amazing, and i love the curved rounded design of phone, feels great in the hand and fits in pockets easily.

As far as waiting for U.S. Galaxy S2, I say no, might as well wait for the better Nexus-Prime by Samsung. But for now get the Nexus-S. Plus the 4" screen size is perfect.

[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
I love this phone, all the talk about duel core is nice and is totally awesome that the mobile hardware is advancing so fast. But I use my phone for communicating by all venues, location based services, some light hulu plus watching, and occasionally some games.

Duel core will help out with pushing the gaming of these devices alot. But I am not having any issues with speed with the aspects of what I need this for.

You can probably get this phone off contract for a nice price and with selling your old phone.

in india we dont have contract systems ther by v are not stuck with the network .. we can buy any phone and use any carrier we feel like .. i love it tht way .. :)
[Nexus S General] aFo3262:
I think it's really the litte things that make this phone so great. People can comment on the lack of dual core and expandable memory, but the stock experience and updates make it worth it. Good call quality, good battery life, working GPS, great audio quality with VooDoo, charging port on bottom(easier to use phone while charging), great GPU, and a completely blacked out look when the device is off

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diomorgan:
Actually you don't need to, since 2.3.3 let you move almost all NON-SERVICE apps to SD.Just be sure to choose "SD card" as primary instalation storage in menu and application settings.If you already installed some apps just go to the app manager and move them to SD.Remember that Apps on SD won't show their widget (as Facebook and so...)

Anyhow: U8650 is sold in Spain from Yoigo ONLY, and I heard it's sold in Tuskey maybe, that means no root or custom rom until someone from spain or turkey will work on it.

As far as I know nobody from turkey or spain use to works on android reverse-engeneering :-(((

HERE WE ARE boys! :-D

Just rooted my U8650 in this damn EASY way:

download the file update.zip from here , copy it in your SD card then turn off the phone and put it in recovery mode (volume up+on/off switch for a few seconds).

Once in the recovery menu select "update from SD , chose the file, then reboot et voilà!

Your phone is rooted!

Can I ask what build number your phone is? ..has this worked for everyone else??

I have just purchased one in Australia and wondering if your method will work for mine, is there any harm in me trying your method or if it doesn't work will I have to re-install an original rom? ..yes sorry if this is a noob question, I have had little experience with androids or rooting for that matter but can find very little information on this phone.

Youigo Firmware should be different from the australian one: it got a lot of utility like "web update" or "install app" to install app from SD, maybe is the same, but the firmware itself rocks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huchengtw:
gyco,

the u8650 has a mechanism (I don't know that it is) to reserve the state of your phone while you turn off it.

You can enter recovery mode with a cold boot, which means you need to take off the battery out, put it back, and press vol up + power.

I think the the U8650 whose Build Number is U8650V100R001C058B826SP06 can't be rooted.

In other word, we can't use the same file which fits U8650V100R001C86B823SP05 to root U8650V100R001C058B826SP06.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huchengtw:
Sure, it is. Someone had found that Huawei IDEOS u8650 is a customized version for Cht of Taiwan (中華電信). It's not the same as the standard version for China and other countries.

I think the update.zip image is released by someone in Huawei with the correct key to sign the file.

One of the reason it can't be rooted is this phone had removed the "Logcat" mechanism from android. So, this makes most of rooting ways malfunction.

The only way is to wait that somebody finds a bug to obtain root privilege.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huchengtw:
blacknecro,

you can't extract all files. you may find a file named "update.zip" with the link. just put this file under your sdcard and you can find the file.

So, if you are on Yoigo or Australian one and you want to de-brand+possibility of rooting with the given file, just put THIS original NO BRAND Huawei U8650 firmware on your SD in /dload/ folder (you'll see easily: the path is alresdy in the compressed file), turn off the phone, remove the battery a few seconds, than put SD and battery in the phone end turn it on with "VOL+" + "VOL-" + "ON" at the same time (yes, three buttons, but i'ts easy ;-)).

He will automatically upgrade the firmware to the unbranded one (obviously this is a reset too, so you'll lost your settings) in 2-4 minutes.

Hi everybody;

I have a Huawei U8650 phone that called Turkcell T20 (Turkcell is a mobile phone operator in Turkey). But there is a difference between huawei U8650 and Turkcell T20, this difference is camera resolution. Turkcell T20 has 5 MP but U8650 has 3 MP camera.

I want to flash my phone to a rom that doesn't fully have stupid and can not removable Turkcell applications. But the different camera resolution is engrossing.

Will I lose all data on my phone? I dont mind I just would like to know in advance, and is this still android 2.3.3?!

Does it also remove the yoigo netlock? Cos I hear on other phones if u put new firmware on, the simlock is removed. is this the same here?

1-Multilanguage (almost every language of the world, heheheh)

2-Yes, you will.

3-No, it doesn't, to unlock the phone you need to buy the unlock code (it's legal) or ask Yoigo to unlock it. Actually I don't have the contract in my hands, BUT if there's nothing about the sim-lock on our contracts Yoigo MUST unlock our phones on request.

I heard thye does for something like €20, just google around :-)

This phone costs 139€ in germany btw ;-)

I think I will stick with the yoigo firmware for the moment , cos it works really good... dont need the rooting as of today.... But will do it soon... After enough playing around i ll do a clean install with only the apps I need :)

As far as Yoigo goes thats interesting they have to unlock it... BTW cheapest I saw was on ebay.COM
