I'm debating doing the same. FWIW, I think the int'l GSM version of the GN will be available perhaps even before the Verizon version. If you're willing to pay full retail, it's an attractive option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian6685:
Hopefully..I'm leaning towards keeping it..using my nexus s right now. I unrooted and restored my gs2 today and packed it back in the box..maybe I'll go unpack it tonight lol. I'm using ics port right now btw. It's nice, that's why I want ics..I should stop teasing myself
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian6685:
I am going to pay full retail, but importing the international version looks like it's going to be around $900
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ap77:
Really? Well, forget that then. I thought it was usually pretty close to the same price?

You really, really should not count on getting ICS support "fairly quickly."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] netnerd:
you have 903 posts? and you dont know better???

try handtec.co.uk, about 700 usa dollars shipped!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
Well, I would never buy a phone just for software, especially if it meant taking a hardware downgrade from what I already had. Personally I'm not that excited about ICS, but we'll get it. Just be patient.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Monk4Life:
Its super amoled and not super amoled plus like our phones. So I don't think its going to look a hell of a lot better even with that resolution. It may just look slightly better than ours and that's a maybe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ap77:
So far, the reviews of the Galaxy Note (same screen) have said that the screen is great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
they say the screen is great for every phone that comes out,they wouldnt say this screen sucks . rumored specs have the GS3 WITH 1080 res and a 2.0 ghz processor,ill wait till next year and see what it brings ,ive had three phones this year and theres always a next one thats better. remember when my sensation came out people were like but the GS2 is the greatest phone ever and every phone sucks compared to it blah blah blah ...well here i am with the greatest phone ever and i dont plan to change just for a phone with better res.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
i bought SG2 full price no contract. When Galaxy Nexus comes out if i like it better i will sell my GS2 or keep it and get Nexus on 2 yr contract. Win win either way.

Galaxy Nexus no external sd card slot and 5mp camera so it will have to be real beast for me to give up GS2. :) ICS port will come soon after Nexus release and since its a Samsung it should be seamless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ap77:
Um.

Ok...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian6685:
That's still a little much don't you think?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
the only problem with SGS3 is... we wont see it until probably 3rd or 4th quarter of the year as usual :(

AWS phones versions always gets released waaaaaaaaaay after everything else.

so even if SGS3 do come out some time next year, we wont be seeing probably until 2013

just like our SGS2 i've been expecting it since June... and finally now in late October we finally get it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] motombo:
Today it's the Nexus, tomorrow it's the GS3. People will never be happy with what they have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
We won't know for sure until it's released, but the GPU they are using in the OMAP on the Nexus is reportedly on par with our own snapdragon on t-mobile. Not a complete beast like the mali. But who knows really until the phone drops. I'm sure it will be beast, but once we get ICS on the GSII I doubt the Nexus will be any faster or more powerful. I wouldn't hold my breath for the Nexus, who knows when it will come to GSM. GSIII is all I'm interested in upgrading to. For now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
The gpu they are using is overclocked twice the normal frequency in the galaxy nexus. Also the TI omap is standard a9. We have is hybrid architecture aSmp processor they work completely different. Snapdragons are optimized for battery life T.i should be standard technology. When ics hits it will be based on optimization of apps taking advantage of hardware acceleration. Any home launchers and browsers expect to see no lag at all if they take advantage of hardware acceleration.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian6685:
I really like the fact that it has a notification led too...not that its a good reason to return my sgs2 lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
who knows when you'd be able to get a nexus to work on tmo. how long did we wait for the gsII? By the time the nexus comes out the next big thing will be around the corner and the vicious cycle continues.

"omg the new htc/samsung Prostitute is going to be released soon with a 720p display 2ghz quadcore and 2gn ram, It also gives you a happy ending but att&t and verizon will overcharge you for it"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
LMAO! :D

i couldn't help me it made me LOL in the office, and people giving me the weird look eye :p

but that is 110% true
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
Yes but even overclocked it won't be as fast as the SGX 544MP2 in the iPhone4S or the mali-400 in the standard SGSII. It will be faster than our snapdragons, than again it has to be with the additional screen resolution.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elvensbane:
Hello XDA, i just rooted / s-offed my phone last night, i did the this tut http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGEASn3v0v8 . I have no service on my di2, i only have a max of 2 bars and i have to use wifi, I can't receive messages either, can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advanced, i'm new to this scene. i had the same problem on my eris.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
Have you tried using the 722 radio? It's in the development section.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elvensbane:
I'll try that and report back, thanks for the reply (y)

So far no luck :3 with 722, i have a global chip in my phone, does this make a difference?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
The global chip is only for international GSM cell connectivity- it doesn't work on normal Verizon CDMA bands. As far as the radio, you might try a complete wipe of data/cache/dalvik cache and flash your rom of choice again, since this isn't a widespread bug. Might just be something borked during the flash.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
"No Service" meaning cannot make outgoing calls or receive incoming calls, SMS and data NOT working over mobile network, is that right? All the proper settings are checked as they should, device was activated & working before too .... and done the *228 or *22890 to program phone (again) & update roaming capabilities, and so on.

Did you get a recorded msg. that or see a prompt on the Inc2 that it cannot authenticate your phone, please try again later or call xxx xxx xxxx ?

If that's true, it meant that during the reset/flash process or wiping, that some of the security keys or codes were cleared & changed - the only way is to call that number (it's better to use another phone) and explain that you cannot make/receive calls after doing a Factory Reset and they will check, have you turn off & on the phone, do a few short codes (*xxxx, *xxx, etc.) to reset it whiie you are live, and then finally making a test call to verify upon success.

Take about 10 minutes - yes, I did that myself on the decommissioned Eris. VZW need to do certain things on their end in real time.

Cheers !
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elvensbane:
yes sir, i did *228 option 2 and updated my roaming, i'm using the 722 radio, i have mobile network checked. It said successfully updated my roaming and restarted my phone. I just did option 1, and it said it was successful and restarted.

Edit- i have 3G up and down arrow appear again, thats a good thing right? i still have no bars, i normally had about 3 in my area :3 should i update roaming again?

Edit2- It seems to be working good, if i have problems again should i do what you suggested and call them explaining it isn't working after a "reset" :p? Thanks so much for the help:).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Bing, Bing - Can you now make/receive calls, if so - you are good but if not, do this quick check next: open Settings > About Phone > Network and under Service state - does it say "In Service" or not.

Turn it off for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn it back on again. Check it again - it's possible for it to self authenticate (especially if it's a Sense ROM, non-Sense roms are more prone to these problems.

If still not "In Service" you will need to do what I suggested above, call them on another line with the Inc2 on - tech. support is available until midnight, last time I called them - they'll reset & fix it. Do NOT, repeat, do NOT, mention a word about rooting, custom ROM or flashing anything - as you know, you're just cycling your settings & it's not working now .... (kind of didn't ask, don't tell ;) )

Looking for a way to get an rsa key other then taking it off another phone. Mine has gotten wiped somehow and my backup copy has gone mia. If someone could help me out with a solution that would be great. Sprint has a deductable that I'm trying to avoid.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
There's no way to get your RSA keys back if you don't have a backup. You can't just take it from another phone, they're specific to your device.

If you have a nandroid backup from before you lost them, you may be in luck. If you're using Amon Ra, you should have chosen to backup wimax at some point. I believe CWM backs up wimax with each backup. You can open up your nandroid backup and see if you have a wimax.img file present. You can then restore that backup or manually flash the wimax.img.

Are you 100% positive that you lost them? It's kinda hard to do unless you specifically chose to format your wimax partition.

If you don't have a backup (I'm going to emphasize again the importance of making a backup) and your RSA keys are gone, you're pretty much SOL. You broke it, you should have to buy it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nattiboy2326:
I made a backup a while ago with cwm but I think its gone, I read something about using hex editor and getting a clone file but I was looking for an easier way out. So far I've tried to go back to an original Rom and flash a few things but so far no good. I'm hoping this hex editor guide works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf2m:
Sorry but you're out of luck. Your 4G keys are tied to your phones serial number. The keys are nontransferable. New phone time for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You are way up the creek and no paddle my friend. The keys are tied to your serial number [like plainjane already said] so you're just out of luck. Check your pc / cwm folder. if its in the folder you can put in in another folder then flash it.

ok call me dumb but i cant change the contacts list. normally there is an option for google accounts to only display the contacts that have phone numbers but i cant seem to find it on this phone. can anyone tell me how i am meant to do this cos at the moment all my contacts are showing including the ones that have only emails.

cheers
[Atrix 4G General] NYG-SBXLII:
contacts>menu>display options>only contacts with phones.
[Atrix 4G General] rockmonkey1973:
i kid you not i dont have that option. when i hit contacts on the launcher i simply dont have menu as a choice. instead all i have is add contact search display group manage accounts settings and more which takes me to share vcards and import/ export.

what is going on? what am i not getting here?
[Atrix 4G General] NYG-SBXLII:
Menu as in the menu button. Bottom left corner of your phone. Anyways it might be slightly different on stock rom as I'm on cm7. I know its there though, you will find it I have faith in you.
[Atrix 4G General] rockmonkey1973:
cheers mate for your faith but it is misplaced. there simply isnt an aption on this phone i have. guess it is just one more reason to get it rooted unlocked and flashed with cm7.

oh by the way on a completely separate note... i did read in another thread that someone else did exactly the same thing i did and stick there thumb in the speaker grill thinking it was the power button!!!! lmao!!! what bad design. it is my only gripe with this phone the shocking build quality and it is even more surprising cos this was meant to be there flagship model at the time.

For some reason Odin cannot detect the device in Download mode, but it's detected properly in Device Manager, and Kies can detect the device while in normal mode.

Also tried this on 2 separate Win7 32 machines, and saw the same issue, tried all of the usb ports on the machines, tried to reboot, re-install drivers, just about everything at this point, tried to put the device into Download mode multiple times...
