[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashino:
I'm curious, too. Except for the vanilla android experience, I would seriously consider the Galaxy S II HD LTE in Korea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Can you tell us how much it is in Korea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
I have not seen it in Korea yet. I have been told that it is not available until January. But the Samsung Galaxy S2 is at least 100 dollars more expensive here than US or UK. Also, I am not sure you can easily get GSM phones here. 99% are a special Korean version of CDMA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] and932:
Usually high end phones in South Korea go for around 800000 won, which is about 700 USD. I know the model number for the South Korean version is SHW M420S/K (S for SK Telecom and K for Korea Telecom), but I'm not sure if it has the same hardware as the GT I9250 that's in the UK. I have read in South Korean news that the GN in South Korea is HSPA+ version, so it should be the same as the global.

I wasn't able to find any specs for the SHW M420S/K, but if anyone knows where they can, please let us know!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
I saw a Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ in the mall in Seoul today. It was going for 800,000 Won.

I asked if they had GSM and they said no. They are really pushing the SG2 HD and the Note.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] and932:
They are definitely selling the GSM model in Korea...if you can read Korean, check the link here:

http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/skt/SHW-M420STSSC-spec

The only thing we need to know is what compatible radios are inside. I would imagine that they are the same as the version in the UK, but then I'm not sure why the model numbers are SHW M420S/K vs. GT I9250. Is it simply because they need to get different certifications?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
any word on purchasing the battery and cover korean version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audioxbliss:
I've only looked on the SK Telecom site, but they have the Galaxy Nexus for 757,000KRW, or roughly 670USD based on current exchange rate. I can't find any information regarding bands and such, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a_chris_1:
toro-plus in korea?

So I'm moving to Seoul in a few months and I currently own a Sprint Galaxy Nexus LTE. So, obviously I'm going to end my contract with sprint, but what do I need to do to get this thing to work in korea? I really love this phone, would hate to part with it....

$67 cover for a 249 tablet.....I hope that's free shipping. If not, its over $70, which is almost 30% of the cost of the tablet.

Sent from my MB860 w/CM7.1 with xda premium
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
Yeah, it's kind of pricey but if you can afford it I totally understand getting a nice one. It's something you'll be holding for hours and hours. And I'd rather cover a really cool tablet with nice leather than cheaper plastic.

I don't think I can afford this one but I will be looking for a nice leather one. I have good leather on my Nook Simple Touch and love it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zikzak1:
They are very nice, very good quality leather, very good craftsmanship. Hand made after you order so allow an extra day. They might do custom tooling for you as well if you ask.

(tried to quote dkb218, but due to a link within the quote I cant do that yet!)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] somerandomname:
or you can go on ebay and buy a nice leather folio case from hong kong for ~$8...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] reverenddak:
...and it won't be hand-made in Santa Rosa, California, and won't be nearly as nice...

But, yeah, I can't afford one of those either.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moose_tracker:
Just buying 2 Nooks for xmas gifts and reeling from the intial cost. It isn't in my budget this year. But I really like them. I will hang onto the link for a possible Birthday or an xmas gift for next year..

Thanks.. I looked at the ones at B&N when I picked up the nooks and did not like them at all. Except for black, all the color ones were like neon colors which is not my taste, and made them look cheap.. Black just looked blahhh.. I like a darker deeper richer color as these leather ones seem to have.

One Note. I noted the B&N covers had holes in the cover for air.. I would imagine not a need unless you like to close the cover and leave it on. With all the cardboard & wool & leather on these covers, I don't think the air holes are there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
What!? But then your Nook might suffocate!

(Why would they have airholes?)

Also, I wish I never looked at this thread, since those are really nice covers at Oberon design.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bladerunner0427:
I got the Medici Nook Color cover in brown from OberonDesign. Worth every penny!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zikzak1:
I got the same in purple!!

:D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
So, I just received my Oberon NT cover that I ordered a little less than two weeks ago - AFTER the shipping cutoff date that was on the site. They totally shipped before Christmas, and not way after :) Pretty impressive. I got paisley in green, and it's a bit darker than on the site (which is good, it's not garish at all).

They're really, really, really nice covers - not just the leather, but the fit is an exact match. The straps that hold in the device are exactly fitted, they are designed to not cover buttons or the wifi area, there is storage space in the case for papers, the cover folds back nice. About the only thing missing is a way to prop the cover up for viewing (the only thing the Kindle Fire version had). This is one of those things that, after the device it is designed for dies and it doesn't fit any similar device, is going to get converted into a sketchbook/notebook cover.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] roustabout:
very nice wood/book covers for nook devices

There's an outfit in Minnesota that does a very nice wood/book cover for a bunch of things.

The nook color/tab cover is 40 bucks, so for both of you who aren't returning your devices to BN by Dec 26 - or who want to see if they make a case for the device you're replacing it with - check 'em out.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dragon_76:
If you are talking about the "n" cover, the holes are stylistic. I have one of the faux leather B&N covers and it has no holes.

I like these oberon covers but I like how the 1st party covers click the nook in place as opposed to elastic. How do these work?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
There are 3 heavy leather straps that fit snuggly - two larger ones at the bottom and one slightly smaller with a bit more give at the top left corner. You slide the nook into the bottom two, pull the third leather strap a tiny bit, fit the nook in there, then stretch the top right elastic over the top right corner. It's actually really snug in there, but doesn't require much pushing/pulling. I was expecting it to be less precise, more stretching etc. It's easy to take in and put in, and doesn't move at all in the cover. I have no idea how they make them by hand with this much precision - I guess test it on an actual device on every cover. Anyway, nice work, and the smell & look inspires me to pick it up for reading (versus games), which is half the goal of a cover imo for the easily distracted (me!).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Helgon2000:
Hey, i use this ROM at the moment (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769026) but i also had this problem with an other one (Nexus-HD2..or something like that).

So, the problem is following. When i record something it works pretty fine, but sometimes when i hit the stop button to finish the record the whole app freeze and after few seconds i get the message if i want to close the app because it didnt react anymore or if i want to wait. if i choose to wait nothing happens, if i say "close app" i cant start the cam app anymore. then i need to reboot the phone. and the biggest **** is, that the recorded file is damaged so evertyhing i filmed is lost and this crash happens pretty often.. and i also had this problem with the other android build.. does anybody know the problem or what to do?

regards, Helgon
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ugumba:
I've had the same issue several times with the stock camera. Search the last week or so of the Hyperdroid thread - somebody posted the MIUI camera apk, which seems to work better. I haven't used it a lot after installation, though, so no guarantees.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
I use the miui cam to get around this. It still happens occasionally, but not as often. ( about 1 time in 10 for default app, 1 in 20/25 for miui,, tho I haven't really been counting)

Its not your rom or phone, op, its common to most roms.

GLaDOS for ICS​

Based on GLaDOS V1.9 + Koush's ICS kernel patches.

Comes with all features of GLaDOS V1.9 plus debugging enabled and init.d support (thanks Flo).

Known issues:

1. BT is activated on boot and not soft blocked with rfkill when disabled. This causes only the DEEP IDLE state with TOP=ON to be used. You can manually disabled BT with 'echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/bt_rfkill/rfkill/rfkill0/soft' using the terminal or adb shell, however this will break the BT switch until the next reboot. This is a problem with the ICS alpha ROM and I have informed Koush about it.

2. USB mass storage might not work on Linux machines or older OS without making some configurations on the OS side first; it did work ootb with Windows 7.

I am currently running this kernel with Koush's ICS CM9 alpha 11 release as my daily driver and I cannot guarantee it will work on other ROMs (chances are good

though).

As always I do not support OC/UV and if you decide to do so, you are on your own, however try raising the bus/GPU with Live OC (I currently use an OC value of 125) and with the new hardware-acceleration in ICS you can see the UI fly.

Request can you number the test zips? It's getting mixed up your previous ICS test builds. Really no sweat just a request.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] waterface:
Ezekeel, I have a couple questions for you, and sorry for a slight off-topic: which of the NS i9020s do you own (T/A/4G)? And is there any specific reason why you're using radio image KD1, as shown in your signature, which is not the most up-to-date?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Ezekeel:
I got a i9020 from the UK. There is no specific reason I use KD1; it simply is the last baseband I flashed and it works, so no reason to change it.

question and a comment;

i switched to ICS and this kernel to test why my phone battery is sucking terribly, to try to see if i had done something in messing around with the CM7 rom to mess it up in a way that kills battery.

but this one seems to do it to. please see attached screenshots. Does this imply a hardware problem to people? when my phone starts really sucking juice, it gets hot and that is generally how i know.

so first question, any ideas whats up here?

second question/comment; using aosp rom and this kernel, I had to mount the SDcard in recovery to get the picture, because these files and several others all appears to be empty files when phone was mounted while booted normally.View attachment 807848

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Ezekeel:
Today a got a huge update for you.

First, I have made a significant improvement to Live OC. When the OC value is raised not only the bus/GPU speed is increased, but also the DRAM frequency. Since the GPU does not have its own dedicated RAM, but uses a chunk of the DRAM this should increase the stability for high OC values and also the performance of the framebuffer access by making sure that the DRAM does not become a bottleneck.

Furthermore I have improved the performance and responsiveness of the flash memory I/O by carefully tweaking several kernel parameters. This should significantly reduce the probability of pending I/O operations causing lags.

As the third major change I have added the Tiny Preemptive RCU which should further increase the overall responsiveness of the device.

I also updated the optimized CRC32 algorithm to the latest version and removed the CFQ I/O scheduler since deadline is the default and that should be used.

I get a lot requests from users if I could add this or that feature to my kernel and I think it is worthwhile that I tell you a little about my kernel design philosophy.

I come from a Linux background, did my share of kernel hacking before Android and in the Linux world before any patch is even considered to be added to the kernel the author has to prove that this new addition actually does bring an improvement. And believe me the other kernel devs can be quite critical. However it is that kind of peer-review that keeps the Linux kernel of being clogged by nonsense and thus acts as a quality control.

In the Android world pretty much every device has its own kernel and custom kernels are quite popular and every developer essentially is working on his own personal kernel tree. While this fragmentation offers a lot a freedom, it also means that there is no peer-review at all. And unfortunately from what I have seen so far, the general practise around Android kernel developers is to simply add every feature they can find. They do not test, they do not compare, they do not benchmark. The result is a whole parade of overblown and unstable kernels with more unnecessary feature than I can count.

With my GLaDOS kernel I follow a strict no-nonsense policy and try to stay as close to the stock kernel as possible without sacrificing too much performance. Or my '99 with 1' design paradigm as I like to call it - 99% of performance of a theoretical optimum kernel with all possible improvements included while only using only 1% of the necessary modifications to the source code. This does not only improve the maintainability, but in the end will result in a both lean and stable kernel with a great performance.

Since so many people were asking for it, I changed my mind and decided to accept donations. You have my word that the collected funds will only be used for buying additional hardware to continue my development and if possible to extend my work to another device preferably of course the Nexus Prime.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] belvedere:
From what I gather, Ezekeel has no plans to update the WiFi driver(s) at this point in time and probably the near future. As seen here.

I'm on v25 now but reverting back to v21 because I'm not aware of any kernels with functional WiFi that also support Deep Idle. I need all the extra battery savings I can get at work cuz of crap signal.

Pulled battery, back to CW, flashed the ICS version and up and running strong!!

I'm on ICS Koush, was using the built in Kali kernel. This is much faster, running better, will get more battery, and over all better performance. I'm what I call a normal user, no overclocking, volt changes, prefer to run at what the developer thinks is best, so very happy with this kernel.

This is the reason others base their kernels off Ezekeel's!! And yes, I voted for you for a new phone at the other site, hope you get it.
