[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
But it isn't really a deal for the phone because you're paying 450 for the phone, people might misinterpret and think it's 50 only
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Well his math is right. I worked it out myself and you save 290 per line.

So grand total you save 580.

It's a good deal in the long run even if you THINK you pay more for the phone

you pay less in the long run.

Anyway I picked up this deal today, no regrets.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shoerhino:
My parents were able to get the Amaze for 199 with the value plan. The phone was 599 and they received a 250 discount with the 150 mail in rebate but they had to sign up on the 59.99 value plan. There are no activation fees or monthly equipment installments. At the end of the day, I think that was the best deal I had seen on the Amaze yet.

I am on month 16 of 24 so I could not take advantage of this but I would have!

i got mine from amazon wireless for $200 as an upgrade, no tax no shipping, more than happy with that price :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
Nice find! I didn't know amazon had a wireless thing lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] cambo357:
Amazon has had some amazing deals on phones of late. at one point they had almost every single smartphone except the iPhone for just a penny. of course, this was on a new 2 year, but still some smoking deals to be had.

I just got my Amaze through retentions for around $50 I think. not sure exactly, they said it will be $81 or so out of pocket, including taxes and shipping. this was after a $250 credit. all in all, not bad since I still had 5 months on my existing contract.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Amazon Upgrade

I think one thing I noticed about Amazon Wireless is that the plans that they offer for Tmobile are different than the plans Tmo Stores can offer.

Maybe it's just me but when I go through the checkout process on Amazon they are very limited in their options.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lester1:
Great Deal! I didn't even consider going through retentions :( But, then again, I've no complaints with the phone so far.
[HTC Amaze 4G] henry1970:
BrandsMart USA

For those who live in the Miami, FL area you can get your Amaze for only $99.98 with a mail in rebate for $50 so that leaves you with an amaze for only $49.98. This is for new contracts or eligible upgrades on Classic Plans...

I got mine yesterday. Saw the ad online and rushed over to store hoping it was true.

Paid only $106.98 with taxes and got to mail in my rebate to get the $50 back...

Can't beat that with a bat................
[HTC Amaze 4G] rasstar:
I think the value plans are a better value. You don't have to spread the payments over 20 months. Pay it off sooner.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shoerhino:
The classic plans are typically $10 to $20 higher than the value plan per month. If the difference is $10 per month, you're paying $250 (approx) more for the same service and $50 for the phone. If you could buy the phone on the value plan for less then $300, you'd be ahead of the game but that's still only a few bucks a month in savings. I think you did pretty well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rasstar:
They are 20.00 lower per line. None are 10.00 lower. That works out to be 480.00 on a 2 year contract. The deal they had on the 19 works out cheaper than taking the classic plan.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsharitt:
I know it may be a bit of a minority option, but I actually like the native Nook Color launcher(and I really hate the dual UI that come about with rooted Nook firmware), so I would really like to see third party apps show up there. Do we know why they don't show up? Does the Nook launcher have a special database or something that the native installer writes to? Would it be possible to either modify and existing apk installer or write a new one that could "properly" install apps?

It's something I may look into in the coming days/weeks, but I wanted to know if there has been any work in that direction yet before I start blind.

Holy s**t! I saw this same phone at work. Someone brought it in looking for a case and I was puzzled. It looks like one of those crappy ZTE brand phones from cricket, but if I remember correctly, it felt about the same as the 3G slide in terms of touchscreen response and speed. MAYBE a 700mhz processor, and I don't think it's an HSPA+ device either.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CollegeProfesor:
If I want the official update instead of flashing something, would I have to go back to stock Rom and/or unroot?

I've deleted bloatware and have frozen a few things, what should I do to ensure I'd get the latest update?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nh5:
there won't be an update until at least sometime next year I wouldn't worry for a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
The only phone get ICS directly from Google is Galaxy Nexus (and maybe Galaxy S). We have to get update from AT&T who must get update (and sit on it) from Samsung who get the ICS source from Google then make a ROM out of it.

So, official ICS for i777 is probably 6 months away. If you have custom ROMs, you won't be able to upgrade via the official process. If you rooted, you may or may not be able upgrade successfully either (it depends how much AT&T/samsung hates you).

But, I'm pretty sure official ICS ROM will be leaked months before AT&T release it. You can then download the flash to that instead of waiting for AT&T to release it. When you do that, rooted or custom ROM does not matter since it will wipe your phone clean.

The only benefit of waiting for official release is that the upgrade process won't wipe your phone clean. You get to keep all your settings and apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
to answer your question, no one can be 100% sure if you will get the OTA update even if you're still running the stock rom while rooted. It should work but it may not.

Then as everyone else said, I wouldn't worry about it at this point. Our i777 has not been guaranteed an ICS update and even if it is getting it, it wont be for a long time. Long enough not to worry about that question at this point in time.

**NOW GOT MARKET & GAPPS WORKING!**

This ROM will only work on ACER ASPIRE ONE NETBOOKS THAT CAME WITH ANDROID OUT OF THE BOX!

GingerAspire is a modified version of Insyde's Android 2.3.1 for Acer netbooks. Most of their netbooks will never upgrade Android OS versions, so I am porting from the files provided in the D257 to the rest of the range.

BIG THANKS TO TYNXPL FOR THE FILES FROM THE D257!

The features in the 'working section' should work, as long as you have a Acer Netbook that has the Insyde drivers.

Installs apps

WiFi

GPS

Google Apps :D

Live Wallpapers

(I don't have the model with Bluetooth and 3G, so if it works, please say below :D)

Doesn't work (yet):

OpenGL ES (No apps such as Google Music then)

I couldn't get apps2sd (or different partition) to work

Screenshots:

What 3rd party apps come with it?

XDA Free app

Dolphin Browser HD (replaces stock browser as it actually works)

Terminal Emulator

Droid Tips (the home screen tips widget)

CatLog (for reporting bugs to me)

GApps (maps, market, gmail etc.)

YouTube

Facebook (old one that works)

Twitter

Facebook app either (after putting away your data)

Better Terminal Emulator FC too

As expected, my USB Bluetooth dongle doesn't work (as in "stock" ROM)

And... Where is the link to go to back to windows ? (I found a way to get it back : Just create a link to "confirm reboot" app)

Other things are working well, good job and thanks for the time you already spent on this !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Sorry, I meant to post these things. To get the force close apps back, reinstall them, using root explorer, directly from /system/app Google Partner Setup is required to login, I guess we'll just have to put up with it. Windows link: I have no idea. Mine has gone to. This is the stock launcher, so ???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
And BTW, I noticed I left my FB account on there, I have changed my password though
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gboulvin:
I tried to reinstall them but it didn't change anything.

I'll try to put the original rom files again to see if apps are working (don't know if it helps but in the logcat, it says there is an error with java for any of the non-working apps)

To go back to Windows, just put a link (on your home screen) through "activities" from laucherpro widget to "confirm reboot" in the apps list. ;-)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigdan1985:
Quinny899 is right, the Windows WiFi drivers have nothing to do with it.

Funnily enough, I did manage to get the WiFi working. It was a matter of being patient and waiting for the network to appear. Once I could nail down the network, as it kept appearing and disappearing, I had to get in and log in quickly. I was able to logon and everytime I boot into Android it will connect to that network, provided it's in range. Quite odd but I got there.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
You'd have to resize the .img files, yes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] foganime:
I will try that with resize2fs and Ubuntu now.

Can you tell me how to fix the Google Market PartnerServices force close at Android startup? Also, the inability to permanently change my Android time zone is really annoying!

It's stuck in some weird GMT+0 home time zone, and of course the ability to change time zones is missing from Date & Time in Settings. I use the TimeZoneChanger to temporarily fix the problem, but the time zone settings change does not persist after shutdown.

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 04:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 AM ----------

I tried to run resize2fs on q2l.img and var.img in Ubuntu, but I only get:

"Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open q2l.img.

Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock."

:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Q2L isn't a normal file, it has some weird format. And it may be stuck at that time zone because that is what I set it at (I was in GMT)

There's no way to fix the force close without removing gapps unfortunately
