[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I just spoke with a rep at Amazon and they were not able to provide any additional information. The only suggestion they gave me was to set up email notifications (of new electronics) through my Amazon account settings. Not what I was hoping for, so I guess I'll just continue to monitor that page for any changes.

I am just so frustrated about the whole way this phone is not being marketed here yet. I want to buy two of these, but I was hoping to get them at a lower price, and I am hesitant to order them from Europe, in case I ever had a problem with the phones I had rather deal with a US seller.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I definitely agree with you, especially since I will be buying two of these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
+1. The tax makes a big difference and amazon customer service is also great.

I could not find an option to setup email notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
which is why i did not mind paying 700 for mines.. just 50 more than it would have been in bestbuy with tax
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SeanFloyd:
If only Best Buy stocks the phone for T-Mobile does that mean we can kiss our hopes of a subsidized price goodbye?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I am looking at T-mobiles web site and I see the "Value Plan" that gives you "Unlimited Minutes + Unlimited Text" with 2 GB of High Speed Data is $59.99. I will be getting the 2-line Value plan with 5GB of High Speed Data for $129.98. I also have a corporate discount of 15%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
That was a typo on my part. You are right... it's $59.99. My discount is only 8%, but it's still better than not getting any :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
you can forget about that.. even if it did happen, that def would not be for a while and prob will be tinkered with tmo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I agree with you on the taxes and yes the customer service at Amazon is great. I cannot say the same thing about Best Buy.

As for the notifications from Amazon, You go to "my account", then choose, then "settings", then "E-mail Preferences & Notifications", then "Send me marketing e-mail from the following categories" and choose electronics.

I did this but I am not sure it will help as there is already a "placeholder page" showing "currently unavailable", so it may not be considered a "new product", just a guess on my part. I will just keep watching that page daily to see if it changes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blown 89:
It's turning into quite the nightmare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
Thanks. They usually have a "notify when this becomes available" link for new products. kind of surprised the GN listing did not have one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
Apparently Steve Wozniak got a Galaxy Nexus directly from Google but before he got it he was looking for it at Best Buy and tweeted about it. I guess I wansn't the only one trying the find the GN at Best Buy. LOL! Here's a link about his visit to Google to pick up his phone:

http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/18/oh-you-dont-have-a-galaxy-nexus-yet-because-woz-does/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Imagine being able to do something like that. You hear about a new device, walk into Best Buy but can't find it. So you think to yourself, guess I'll go to Google and see if those folks have one for me. Then you walk over to Google and grab one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sassyness77:
I can second the part about bring told t mobile will be supporting the nexus, I called in and asked about it, few seconds later and going through a search list of "nexus" named devices or something like that it seemed. he asked is it the galaxy nexus or nexus S? Yep galaxy nexus we will support it, however we are not selling it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Awesome. That's pretty much the same deal with the N1/NS. They offered support because BestBuy/Google we're selling it alongside a service plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
lol ... "we will supoort it" ... aka the nexus works on tmobiles network, no shizzle.. ;p that's been known since... before the ICS unveiling a month ago
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
If you call in asking about an N9 I'm pretty sure they won't say they'll support it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sassyness77:
That's what I figured, they aren't going to have every phone possibly supported in the system....hopefully the nexus will come to the US. Otherwise I'm selling the sensation and getting one shipped here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f1seb:
It is a damn shame that's for sure. When I say this I think I am the only person who actually would like to know what the reason for this is. Here we have an American company releasing their brand of phone on Samsung hardware and for some strange reason Americans can't get the phone 1st.

Who is responsible for this? There's 3 players involved and I can't really see anything from Samsung's point of view that would keep the phone released, they already have phones with comparable hardware for sale here.

Google = Did you guys get a crap ton of money from Verizon to delay the release of this phone in the USA?

Verizon = Why the hell would you want to delay or keep the release of this phone such a secret? It's not yours to control (or is it?), you already have the iPhone's on your service so why would you care about a phone that "only a few thousand" people will purchase?

Those are the only scenarios that pop into my head and even as I write them I must agree that they are pretty awfully stupid and far fetched.

So what in blue blazes is going on?!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
LOL are you kidding me???

Amazon had the Nexus S at around 600~700 for MONTHS after it was released at BestBuy. That's not all, Amazon also had various retailers who would sometimes put the SLCD model instead of the superAMOLED model for some reason.

BestBuy Price 529+(.06)(529)=560.74

Amazon Price Over 600 easily
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
When I bought my NS last year from BB, I was able to get it for $199 w/2yr contract. We called T-Mobile, and that was it. Walked out of BB with a fully activated NS.

This year when I go to BB to get the Galaxy Nexus (assuming it is coming to BB), I'll qualify for a partial discount ($80.00 off according to T-Mobile), with a 2 yr. extended contract.

Not sure if I'll go this route or not, but I would like to change my current plan and can only do so, by extending my contract. Otherwise I'll buy it outright from BB, and stay on current plan. :)

Hi all on xda i'm wanting to improve my galaxy s i9000 speed, at the moment my phone runs at abt 960-1000 on quadrant standered which i know is rubbish, my galaxy s is on a stock rom & kernel (firmware 2.3.3, build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVH, kernel 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 root@DELL101 #2) updated using kies, I used to have it rooted but unrooted it don't know why what r my options regarding getting better results on quadrant any help on this topic would be much appreciated.

Thank you

John
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxySN00B:0:
install a custom rom,

if u want good battery, decent speed then install Darkys Rom,

if u want PURE speed (with stock android, without the touchwiz ui) then install CyanogenMod7

or just go over to the development section and experiment around with the Roms, :D

MAKE SURE THAT B4 U INSTALL A ROM, U ARE ROOTED BY INSTALLING A GINGERBREAD KERNEL THORUGH ODIN, AND THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF A SITUATION IF U HAPPEN TO BRICK YOUR PHONE (LIKELY, BUT EASY TO FIX :P) however, if u do anything to your phone and u dnt know how to fix it, im not responsible, ill try 2 help but wnt guarantee anythink :p

if i helped, be sure to click the "thanks" button :)

Forget quadrant, just a random number generator. High score in quadrant has value when you wanna show off, and at the same time let others know you really don't know.

I'm still going on XWJVH, happy user of rooted Semaphore kernel 1.8.2.

The included Semaphore app gives you access to a lot of tweaks, Voodoo color/sound and a smooth operating phone.

The latest leaked ROMs (XXJVS, XXJVT) still has bugs: phone FC, WIFI disconnect. If you feel brave and wanna try one of these ROMs, make sure to read what's fixed in their OP and latest posts for experience of users.

Stock jvt

or faaryabs f1 rom v13 that hopefully will be released today if you want more features.

talon or semaphore as kernel.

And thunderbolt tweaks.

Flash stock JVT and Semaphore, then convert to EXT4.

my WiFi works fine, and for the Phone FC, just flash the JVT Phone Fix.

For me this is the best stock ROM that I've tried. Fast and stable, the browser has improved a lot.

If you use JVT with JVK modem the phone will operate amazingly, no phone fc, no wifi disconnect, great battery life + performance.

Good luck!

My advice would be first flash a few custom roms+kernels and see how that works for you.

If that isn't fast or smooth enough you could try tweaks like thunderbolt!

Hey!

2.3.6 is very good!

you should test at the beginn of your "Flash carrier" a few Roms + Kernels. (:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
Look, if you want a rom that supports custom themes, mods and other tweaks, then go for stock JVT or some custom rom. But it is undeniable that gingerbread will always lag slightly on the galaxy s due to low ram. Heck, it even lacks on the nexus s.

In reality, if you want a lag-free (and I really mean LAG-FREE) rom, you should go for Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Froyo roms were meant for 512mb of ram, and they work flawlessly on the galaxy s. ZSJPK 2.2.1 never lagged on my SGS.

And just to be clear, ram is indeed the limiting factor to smoothness on our phone. On Gingerbread, free ram is less than 100mb after a day's usage, and so the phone has to constantly close and reopen background processes while you're using it. If I'm not mistaken, the default kernels begin to close apps and processes once ram drops below 64mb. Eg: Free ram is 100mb. You open the browser which uses 20mb, and then when you load facebook which uses another 20mb, the free ram has dropped below 60, so while processing the webpage, the cpu has to simultaneously close background processes. Then when you leave fb, the cpu reopens those processes. Hence, the phone lags.

But on Froyo, there's up to 180mb of ram on boot, and somehow ram consumption after prolonged use is not that high, so it can last for days with over 120mb of ram and hence never lags.

In conclusion, the only viable solution to lag that I have experienced so far is by using froyo 2.2.1 roms, especially the later builds like ZSJPK or the other one which name I cannot remember. Things like voodoo lagfixes don't really help (unless you're on eclair) and custom rom tweaks are really just placebo effects actually.

It is indeed tricky.... It's JVZ in your case. It is your build and kernel.

But if you do what xsenman adviced you to: to flash via Odin Semaphore kernel for Gingerbread, you wan't even need CF-root. There you have all-in-one.

Hi!

I got a hands-on on the Xoom 3G (T-Mobile Germany) of a workmate the other day and I'm quite impressed! Nice tablet and nice features of Honeycomb. But that got me thinking: There's a 3G receiver - is it possible to phone with this thing? I mean not via VoIP/G-Talk but rather the "real deal". And the SMS thing... :D

Or should we wait for an ICS-ROM? :confused:

I use mine with GrooveIP and a bluetooth headset as a phone.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jewremy:
I'm not sure on the GSM version. On the LTE version, it's possible to use it to call. You need to change some variables in framework-res.apk first.

For calling, it's possible. It works, too. Calls will connect. Downside is that you can't get any audio, even over bluetooth or wired headset. I've tried. Not doable to my knowledge.

As far as texting goes, install GoSMS or something like that and you'll be fine. It works.

If you get a sim card with a data plan, then stick it in the tablet, you'll have a semi-working phone.

Workaround to Get Google Music Outside USA

Yea its only available in the USA at the moment. But there is a working alternative to get it running in any country. You gotta get a PC app called "Tor" and change to a US node. Once that's done a browser window should pop up and then all you gotta do is head over to the google music site and sign in with your account. Once you accept the terms and such you can get rid of the Tor app coz its done and you can know use google music from anywhere in the world, upload 20,000 songs blah blah blah...I just did it and it works like a charm :)

The Monoprice MHL adapter works like a charm. You can't use your HTC cable in the adapter though. So pick up a long enough 5 pin micro usb cable( I am using a 6' wish I would have bought bigger) and long enough HDMI cable for your set up so you don't have to stand next to your TV operate the phone and watch it on the TV.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
