[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahanddeem:
Hi

I am new here and need your help..This is my first post and sorry to bother you.

Finally I made up my mind and decided to buy a cellphone with android system.

I will go for T mobile in Lexington Kentucky as I can't afford other networks .. I will go with the prepaid service with them (the 30$ plan for 100 min talk,unlimited text and unlimited data up to 4G first 4GB)....

So I will choose a device that should have the 3G bandwidth containging the 1700 mhz (right ?) to be compatabile with T-Mobile...

Now , I will choose a Smasung android cellphone . My choices are narrowed down to the :

Samsung Nexus S (GT-I9020T)

or

Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V)

My wish list for a device is

1.Must be a Samsung

2.Must have a good camera (5MP+ and decent Video recording) and brilliant display (4inches+) Amoled

3.Flash player support

4.Fast CPU

5.Not an old platform

6.Bluetooth and WiFi

7.Must be compatabile with 3G T-Mobile

these points are so important , the others

8.Preferably Gingerbread system

9.Preferably open device , like the generic Nexus S , not bound to a network

10.Not more than 450$ budget ...

I can get the Nexus S (original unlocked,generic GSM) around 420$ or the Galaxy S 4G T959V around 360$...Galaxy SII is far expensive for me

Now I am confused , the Samsung Nexus S has many of my good features , but it has weaker video than the Galaxy S T959V (WVGA vs 720pHD) and no 4G but has preinstalled Gingerbread , The Galaxy S 4G has a good video recording and 4G and cheaper but no Gingerbread (it has Froyo 2.2) and has to be unlocked ..... Now I am confused again

** Is the Gingerbread very imp and much better than Froyo ?

** I know there are methods for updating to Gingerbread , but I like preinstalled factory stuffs so I would not mess a thing trying to reach that purpose

** Should The Nexus S get updates directly from Samsung online on my PC and fast ? I can use PC stuffs so easy

** Is there any other device you recommend that meets my criteria ?

** I was thinking about the Galaxy Plus I9001 but discovered it's not compatavile with T mobile...

Please your comments are apreciated ...

Thanks

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamcooks:
I just left Tmobile after getting burned on two Samsung devices( behold 2 and vibrant 3g) , never getting updates. Sgs 4g has very little developer support, no cyanogen and will most likely never get then.

Nexus branded phones get software from google, eliminating any carrier marketing plans. Google #neveragain and see what you find. I was one of them, I will never buy another non nexus Samsung product ever again
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -CMX:
Building on from what adamcooks said, go for the Nexus S. It was made for Gingerbread and there's no better way to start out with Android than that, it will give you real Android experience without all the manufacturer customizations.

I just bought the same Nexus S myself, got it imported because in Australia they do not have S-AMOLED screen variant of Nexus S. I absolutely love it.

There is heaps of development and support for Nexus S and the phone is actually really easy to mod compared to other Samsung and other manufacturer's devices I have used.

Ultimately it is your decision, but if you really want to unlock the full opportunities of Android I say go for the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidfreak007:
Nexus S definitely.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
You posted this in the Nexus forums, so the trend will be to recommend the nexus and i'm no exception. It's a great phone, camera is OK and does the job in a pinch, but just like any other cell phone, it's no competition for dedicated camera devices (I have a canon elph and access to a DSLR)

Updates for this phone come from Google directly Over the Air. meaning if you never connect your phone to a computer, you will still get updated. I just recommend connecting to Wifi before insatlling the updates as they can get rather large (100 megs+)

This phone is also set to receive Ice Cream Sandwich and I would expect it to get all the incremental updates until the next release of Android and possibly further.

No other Android phone get's the software support that the nexus line gets. The only downside that i've seen is that Google is sometimes slow to fix bugs in the OS and being on the nexus means you will have to live with them until they get fixed. Branded phones like the Galaxy series are later in getting their updates, but tend to be a little more "fixed" in regards to the stability of Android.

Now that I've had a nexus, I won't go back to any other phone, even though I've had my share of problems with this one (search bug)

My last recommendation is to wait a week or two for the Galaxy Nexus to be released, once that bad boy is out on the market, the Nexus S should start to see a price drop.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yongjingmo:
ok！I give up buying the international version since I live in The US......

So，how about ATT version（i777）？does it work on Tmobile 3g and 4g？

It's just because ATT version is cheaper,and so is Tmobile's plan.

Make a nandroid and try it! If you mess it up, use the nandroid or do an SBF.

Anyone love ADB for pushing files but ADB REMOUNT not working?

Adb remount is a neat feature which mounts system as rw without have to go to shell and su and all this crazy stuff.

Well, here is an app I discovered that is designed for the arcplay, but it works on sgs4g too.

Just install the app from this LINK

It is not complicated to download. Just look at the video for a second and it will show you a code to get into the mediafire link.
[Touch CDMA General] whatnow1421:
I am pretty new to the flashing of roms and such but i get the jist of it. I am running Myn's Warm Donut off of my SD card. and i have a few questions.

1.) If I turn the phone off, then back on, will I have to re-install android? because i have to do this when I do a battery pull.

2.) In Market, when trying to dl apps it gets stuck on "Starting Download" and i have tried multiple things to fix it with no luck. I was going to try and just do it via PC at market.android.com but there it says "there are no devices associated with this account" . Then i figured I would just move the apk over to the SD card and install it that way, but my computer (Gateway NV78022U, running windows 7 x64) does not recognize my sd card when its in my phone in "My Computer" via the usb cable provided. Even after mounting the phone, its still unrecognizable. i then had tried doing it via an computer running xp and same problem occurred. The only luck ive had is being able to go into browser and dl an apk from a third party website and install it that way, however it only works about once and then it hase to force close. So my big question is how do i get apps?

3.) I am able to use the internet, even though it doesnt have wifi capabilities, and I am supposed to have data blocked, so will my bill be really high based off of data charges?

and finally

4.) how can i get free music onto my phone when i cannot access the SD Card?

Also, I wanted to install it NAND, so I wouldnt have any of these issues, but i was running into multiple errors and sort of gave up, because the update process would get stuck on 0% and i couldnt do anything from there, and then i had to install coke bootloader, which it says finished, but then when i go to update to the androidinstall.tar it does the same thing and i do not think its finding the correct image, because it says "image source: Martin 1.0" or something similar to that. so I was hoping i could get some help on these issues. all help is appreciated. thank you.

I just got this thing and have been trying to root it, mostly so I can attach to an ad-hoc wifi network, and having no luck at all. I have rooted several Android phones, and haven't had any problems with those, but I'm missing something with the Streak. Is there a way to root a Streak 7 with 3.2 on it?

It's running version 3.2, build 19534.

Gingerbreak hangs, which I guess is to be expected since I'm running 3.2, but not really sure.

When I install CWM, any version, using fastboot, I get the following message:

C:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (4416 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.474s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 1.500s]

finished. total time: 1.975s

But after that, when I go to recovery mode (power and volume+), it's not CWM, just the regular Dell recovery that comes with the device, which won't let me load SU.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Select "Install a package", that will take you to the CWM screen.

This is because I am still learning how to use cs4 and am quite unable at times to get it to do what I want so a lot of what you see is learned by error...............LOL.

Thank you for your constructive criticism and I am already aware of this as this set is just a variation of another set I made. There is no need for perfection on free work that is used as practice until a time when it is worthy of donations or sale.

Didn't say it didn't work at all, I said it isn't working visually. Like it doesn't have the 3D effect you were after. But anywho, glad you know what I'm talking about. And thank you for not taking this negative and personal like most people would.
