[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
Ok, this is one thing you need to learn when it comes to new phones / laptops/ technology in general. In a year, IT WILL BE OUTDATED. I got the Samsung Captivate and could not imagine a better phone ---besides it's constant GPS issues and until the charging port broke on it...but that was partly my fault. I got this phone and it is great as well--even better than the Captivate. At the time, I did not think that was possible.

The thing you want to do is buy a quality product for the time. The Infuse is one of those things. If you take good care of it, it will last you. I fell off of my bike a few weeks back going downhill. I was pretty banged up. My Infuse, even though it was in a case, got pretty banged up--- cosmetically around those silver edges. It is fully functioning otherwise. It is a solid product. It will last you a long time if you don't abuse it.

For example -- -I still have the Samsung Blackjack 2 as my backup phone and I use it when my "newer and better" phones give me problems. I've had it for forever. It is still a good phone despite being years old. You have a decent phone now--- we all do, as far as the Infuse is concerned. I haven't heard too many complaints, but only time can tell if that will change. Treat it well and it will remain good to you.

The sg2 looks identical to the infuse(slightly smaller on at&t) , except with a better resolution and much better cpu, so I think the infuse will be obsolete when the sg2 hits the states. Nevertheless, I love my infuse and I think it's one of the best phones out right now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
I'm just asking if you guys think it'll last the above-average Android user the next few years. I know it's already outdated. It was probably outdated before it even came out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
depends on the user. there isnt much the phone can't do but it depends on samsung releasing updates and on the community to put out quality mods. to be honest with a good rom a droid could still be a viable phone. my friend has a nexus1 and loves it. i actually kinda envy it, i love the screen and media capabilities on samsung phones but as a phone the nexus is perfect and there is no reason it should need to be anything more.

i have a phone lust though. i will likely get the sgsiii or whatever comes after the sgsii long before my contract is up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SSJ_Gomike:
The Infuse right now is still the absolute best phone on AT&T.

And will stay that way till the SGS 2 comes out....

[Samsung Infuse 4G] kcab87:
Sgs2 and infuse have the same resolution. 480x800 wvga.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] comedian64:
I was looking at the specs of Galaxy II and the one thing I won't switch my infuse for is battery. It has 1600mA while Infuse has 1750mA. So when it comes to dual CPU, it should drain battery down pretty bad. I mean why will you ever even use that power on the phone unless you compute rocket science data using it. 4G also has a big mouth for drinking the juice out of your phone.

I'm not trying to say it is horible, it just would be a major concern if I'm a heavy data user.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
phones are always out of date typically within 6 months of being released there will be a higher end phone, with few exceptions. (i use to sell phones personally)

anyways, i had a samsung captivate which was the best phone when it came out, currently out of date, but it broke i payed money throuh insurance and luckily they were out so i got an infuse. very happy so far, and i can save my upgrade, im going to wait till i get a high spec (probably htc) lte phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hegemytouch:
Sgs2 has a smaller screen...therfore it will seem to have better resolution next to the infuse...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
6 weeks, at best.

Coming from the Captivate it's already boring.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] zelendel:
The phone is already outdated when you bought it, but that is the rule with all tech lol. Will it last 5 years. If you take care of it sure but will it still be getting upgrades. Most likely not sense we are seeing higher and higher system requirements to run the newer updates.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] corythug:
It is confirmed the nexus S will get the ics update, hardware wise there's no reason the infused couldn't handle the update also. It's up to att and Sammy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zelendel:
I am not saying it couldnt handle it, just saying that after the first OS update I would not look for any others. IF it gets 1 more after that then it will be lucky. As for the Nexus S, I had great hopes for it but then I found the Nexus S was by samsung and thought ok ill wait for the next and not the new prime may be a samsung as well so looks like ill wait till the next nexus is an HTC. But if it is a samsung or HTC as long as the phone is bought through ATT dont expect to get the same number of updates as the Euro versions of the same phone. They always will get more updates then its US counter parts. As always been the case and always will be.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] corythug:
This is why the nexus line is a safe bet typically, as it is 'googles' phone, the updates are fast and frequent. The S is a Sammy, but no need to wait on them making the updates play nice with tw .
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zelendel:
Yup thats why my next device will be a Nexus, as long as it is not made by samsung
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wulf.:
I used the emulator method.... >>

1. Download Recovery 4.0.0.9 from Modaco's website

2. Using Root Explorer, find the file in your downloads folder on the sdcard.

3. Paste the recovery img file into your phone's /data/local folder.

4. In terminal emulator, first type "su" and then type "'dd if=/data/local/doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21" and let it transfer the recovery file.

its goes thru no problem ...everything seems to go ok i can boot into recovery but none of the back up files i create work...i cleaned out 3gigs of space on my sdcard so it wouldn't run out of space during the back up process but still none of the back up files work....had to use a back up file i made with Revolutionary 4.0.0.8....

any thoughts on what the problem could be?

[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
It's been bothering me that a lot of people don't think the atrix is going to get an official ice cream sandwich update.

I decided to make this thread to consolidate any discussion or questions about the future update.

The android carrier alliance promises that any device will be updated to the newest version of android for 18 months after its release (if its hardware allows it).

Three points to make:

1) Since ICS is being released in oct/nov, the 18 months portion of the agreement becomes null and void. The atrix is within the timeframe.

2) The nexus S is getting ICS, and since the hardware in the atrix is superior (dual core processor, battery, etc), the atrix can receive the ICS update.

3) With google's acquisition of MM the likeliness of the atrix receiving ICS has gone up substantially, whether or not it remains as a seperate branch under google's ownership. It also increases the chances of us getting a stock (or very close to stock) ICS build.

All these signs point me to believe that the atrix is for sure getting ICS. What're your thoughts?

Cheers
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Also I think the Atrix Dev Team will be handing their CM7 build over to Cyanogenmod for nightlis and it will be an official CM device. And if that happens, when Cyanogenmod makes CM8 with ICS we'll get it the I'd guess.
[Atrix 4G General] ssmr2t:
4 Words...

Who gives a crap.
[Atrix 4G General] Celidonius:
Didn't they announce that after the release of the Atrix ? Or does that not matter?
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
I think my thread was cooler.

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I think that while Google's purchase/buyout seems like it may benefit Android users. I also feel that it will not give any benefits until long after the Atrix has passed it's sell by date. Mergers and acquisitions take time to complete. Systems have to be integrated on a large scale, and corporate policies realized in the acquired business. I think Google's initial focus will be on patents, and secondary long term focus will then be Android, and how they can take the lions share of the marketplace with smart devices (not just phones). Give it 2 years at least in my opinion before we see a big swing.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
This is almost the exact same thing I said over in the Motorola Forums (or maybe I said it here, I can't remember). It seems people expect things to change immediately but probably don't realize it's not even a done deal yet as of this posting. There still needs to be an investigation and approvals and all that. Like you said, it could be a couple years before any changes (within Motorola's camp anyways) becomes noticeable.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Also, it seems people forget that Motoblur exists on Motorola devices. Unless they actually convert the Blur service into a full on application platform I don't see an "Official" ICS build coming to the Atrix until at least 6 months after Google releases the code for it. Our best bet lies within the great devs we have here in the community. Which reminds me, everyone, stop complaining about updates! :)
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Here's the thing, yes Google will have a flava of it sitting around that XDA can port over.

The real question is what's the ETA with the carriers?

For instance my Motorola Milestone didn't have "Froyo" ready until the end of March this year, and it was a half-assed effort put together by Telus. Then shortly after, they discontinued the phone.

I agree that XDA users will have a port of ICS through CM7, but for OTA who knows when that will be?...
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Your first point is completely wrong. They guaranteed updates to the phone, but never specifically to the "latest version" of android released. IE you will get security/bug fix updates, but not necessarily updates to the base OS. Secondly, this only applies to phones released AFTER the agreement. Also, google is merely urging NOT requiring them. So basically, all this agreement leads to is that future devices will have a minimum of an 18 month support cycle, nothing more.
[Atrix 4G General] tian105:
Right after we get GB, people start asking for ICS...

This even shows more proof that we, as human, will never be satisfied with what we got.

which can be both good and bad..

[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
My goal was not to make anyone mad or to proclaim I had a fix. I simply wanted an answer to my question. I am sorry to those I obviously offended by asking such a question. Though I could have asked Yay before I posted I honestly didnt think this thread was going to go where it did. I dont know what happened to cause my phone to shw 4g coverage (or lack there of according to yay) but I wanted to get someone elses impression of my account and see if had been something I done. Like I said many times now my apologies. I dont come on here to troll or misguide anyone. I am a firm believer in helping out when I can which is what my initial comment was trying to do, but I was just simply called a liar (though I can understand skeptisism) I dont want to waste anymore time defending my character. If YAY or any other dev wants to talk you have my contact information. I will be trying the dsixda kitchen to see if we can build a rom with that kitchen since the atrix can, hopefully I can redeem myself so to speak...lol.. have a blessed day people.:)

Ok, if this isn't true you owe us all $200,000 each. And I mean everyone who is registered to xda., ok? Cool.

[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
So I'm in the process of unlocking ... already flashed pudding but haven't done the oem unlock and my 4g works. Maybe the pre rooted system image is what's breaking the 4g.

Sent from my Motorola Photon 4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
LOL OK... I honestly don't know what else I did differently from you guys but I still have 4g... and when I take my daughter to the baby sitter I will take a snap shot.

I can tell you that the same thing happened on the evo when the kingdom roms kernel first came out. If you left 4g or wifi on while updating it would say error when you booted back up. Maybe this is the reason as well..

Just a assumption!
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Or maybe you think its working cause it still scans and attempts to connect but never does.....thats how this 4g is borked you dont get a error
[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
No ****. It connected. Why would i post otherwise? I'm not a fan of wasting others time on here.

Sent from my Motorola Photon 4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
Mines was connected... again not sure how or why it's working but it is...I am not near the area so I can't take the screen shot yet
[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
+1 and I did a speedtest just to make sure...:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Pics or it didnt happen.....actually video would be better showing unlock status then connect to 4g in the settings screen if you can do that then less people will think your a troll plus you can get in contact with yay and possibly help solve this problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Just saw your post and you are not unlocked till you run the command. Run oem unlock and see that your 4g dont work anymore
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I agree, a video from boot up to 4g connecting and doing a speed test would be nice. I don't see it happening, but hell it would be nice to see!

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
I knew that I wasn't unlocked. This is my second photon. The other was unlocked. I was thinking the source of the 4g problem was flashing the modified bootloader. Could it possibly be in Rom Racer's Recovery that is breaking the wimax keys? Has to be that or the oem unlock. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
This was already one of the original ideas and I believe it was found out not to be it. There is a lot to be learned on the unlock bootloader thread.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
For those asking for a video I will not be posting one as I don't have the luxury to take time to make a video to prove my phone has 4g. I simply stated what I did while unlocking and asked if others did the same. I don't need any credibility given from anyone as I have been helping people for quite some time now on here.

The reality of it is I have 4g after unlocking my device but I don't know how. It was a simple question to see if anyone else experienced it ..... if not then we know that, that was not the reasoning behind it! But I will post screen shots when I get back to a area with 4g...
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Well i dont see the point in your post other than trolling the video is so we can verify that you are indeed in unlock status and have 4g. You could have unlocked your phone flashed rom nandroided relocked and recovered from bootstrap and think you still have 4g and unlock status but that wouldnt be the case. Its just to cover all bases, if you want to help others than that would be the first step then you could get with yay and figure it out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
Wow I am a troll because I dont feel the need to prove a point to you. I stated what I did as I unlocked my bootloader and asked a simple question. I am so sorry I dont feel the need to make YOU happy. I will go on about my day speaking with devs as I continue to learn how to build roms. Excuse me if I dont have the time to make YOU a video to satisfy your curiosity.

At the end of the day XDA is becoming more and more pathetic as members try to put others down simply because they dont get their way!:(

Back to the evo thread I go as I continue to work with devs. Maybe you could be a little productive and try to learn developing as well.:eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Agreed, the fact that you just want to"kinda" help everyone out is bothersome, in that making a video is in fact the only way it can be proven. Creditable or not, it really is the only way. Screenshots do nothing. You don't need a 1080p hd video explaining all the ends and outs. Just a quick 40 second jobber showing us unlock status and 4gees.
[Motorola Photon 4G] M@XLOL:
but you have time to learn to dev. strong troll is strong. why is this in the dev section?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
You aren't understanding anything, that's your first problem. It isn't him you are proving something too, its everyone on that forums, every single person here is wanting what you supposedly have. Being a prick about it only shows that you really don't have what you say you do, because anyone that did would be going crazy right now trying to find a camera that records, which almost all do nowadays. You are the one being selfish here. If you truly wanted to help the community, you would be doing anything you could.

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
I believe you and hope its not a misunderstanding. Call it wishful thinking, but i dont think you would have those thanks unless you were actually helping others and you deserve the benefit of doubt. Hopefully you're able to help Yay shed some light on this dilema.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
Possibly because making a video means buying a camera... just to prove a point.

Also I didnt say I was trying to help anyone with this topic, I said I have been on xda helping people for quite some time. And why is it in the dev section be serious, the mod didnt even create us a question area so I can post a dev question in the dev section if i so please.

Back to reality, as I stated several times before I am sorry that I dont have the time or the tools to create you guys a video. I am not asking you to do anything, I simply stated a factual account of what I did and asked if anyone else experienced it. If that makes me a troll then so be it, but what am I actually trolling?

Again my apologies. Next time I know to keep my questions to myself as people so desperately wanting something will turn something innocent into a witch hunt.;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] M@XLOL:
This is not related to development nor is it related to accessories or themes... therefore common sense would dictate that it would belong in the GENERAL section.

Now you don't have the tools to take a video when before it was that you didn't have the luxury time to do it.

you want to dev but you don't know what a rar file is?

1 star trolling at best.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
And I am sorry that you find it being selfish. I stated what I did while I unlocked and also stated that I dont even know if thats what caused it to give me 4g. I can only account for what I did. Again sorry if you are looking for someone to be bitter with. If I knew more I would help but I can only tell you what I did and offer you what ideas I have. Again sorry that you feel I owe you something, but unfortunately not all of us on here are well off or feel the need to run around looking for a camera to show something. If you like you can mail me your camera and I will video record it and send it back.....:D

[Motorola Photon 4G] anoroc44:
Craigbailey1986- I think i do believe you. I just don't see why anyone would just say this unless it really happened this way. You have plenty of posts and many thanks so you seem credible to me. Of course, im not a developer so what I think doesn't mean squat.

It would go along way though if it can be shown and than duplicated. I think that's what we all want.

I don't have 4g but is anyone else interested in trying....?
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
lol I didnt say I didnt know what a rar file was I said what do I do with a rar file with the rsd lite software. hmmm comprehension is a blunder. Also I do recall stating learning. maybe I should give you that definition as well... Look if anyone is trolling it sure is hell is not me. Sorry for your misunderstanding. Maybe your mad or jealous. but dont be. I dont know why or how my 4g is working, I only know what I did. again sorry.
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Look i wasn't trying to flame you we just need proof as we have already been taking for a ride from other people claiming the same thing when it was in fact false. Trust me if you found a way to unlock and keep 4g i would be in line to thank you.

And the camera thing ....you dont know anyone with a cellphone that takes videos that would let you use it shortly?
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:

Talk to virus,myn,barnicles10, tyzing, I have been asking them questions for months now learning how to develop rom. unfornutately I havent learned how to port just yet and the photon is much more difficult than the evo.Again I am sorry if my question was placed in the wrong area and if I am sorry that my family can not afford a camera.

But I will continue to learn and eventually release a rom for the photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
lol I used my school check to buy the photon. I offered a screen shot, but for some reason the screen shot apps wont even work with the base 1.3 beta rom, I think it may be a market issue, still looking into it. But look I am not saying that what I did caused my 4g to work I am saying that my 4g works and its all I can think of that i did. I will continue to look into it. And if I find I did something else that is the reasoning behind it of course it will be posed here.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Whatever dude, I won't believe it until there is proof. Having thanks or not doesn't matter to me. There are people with camera phones, cameras all around, it takes all of 5 minutes to ask someone to borrow theirs while they stand right by watching. It is what it is.

I have plenty of 4g in my area, but what he is saying doesn't make any sense. So I dunno. I will hold off on trying until there is concrete evidence.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Then he shouldn't be posting until conferencing with the devs is done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] schale01:
The reason everyone wants to see a video of this is because we've been down this road before. Someone claimed they had unlocked and 4G insisting upon it even going as far as to post what he changed in the process to achieve this. He basically admitted that he lied about the whole thing a day and a half later. This wasted all the devs time that were working on the bootloade, sending them down a dead end. Unfortunately everyone's become a bit skeptical since, though I can't say I blame them. The Devs want to fix the bootloader but they dont want to waste their time on something like this again.

So you can see why proof is so heavily sough for your claim. We're not asking for high quality video here. Any simple video camera will do for verification purposes. (check if you have any other phones laying with video capacity) if not photo's are a good start. Thank you for your assistance in the development process.
