[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Good stuff!

The reason I brought this issue up, is because me and a friend had a discussion about his next phone (he is now with Vibrant). I said that since him and I are total geeks when it comes to our devices (test every ROM, change themes, and we actually CARE about that stuff [i guess we are bored as well, even though we're not kids anymore] ), then the NUMBER ONE thing that we need to consider, is DEVELOPMENT!

If a device is a good device, but has no dev, no "action" when it comes to ROMs, tweaks, kernels and so on, than it's just not a fun device to own.

A device that is just "plain good" would be good for our wives (and indeed, how awful it was when I tried to show my wife why CM7 is awesome - wow that went bad ;), but not good for us geeksters

(:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] le66450146:
ICS is built for dual-core devices. ofcause nexus s will run ICS but i doubt it's any faster

if not for LG, devs could have released ICS port for G2x with hw acceleration(see the dev forum)

nexus is definitely slower than g2x. the only thing makes it good is official google support
[TouchPad Accessories] sanjsrik:
So, I bought both:

acase: brought from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HMUSOO/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details: $25.95 (free shipping, no tax)

incipio: bought directly, http://www.myincipio.com/HP-TouchPad-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-HP-TouchPad-KICKSTAND-Nylon-Case.asp $8.99 (free shipping, no tax) (now it's $14.99)

Hands down, acase wins.

It's real leather. It's much better padded. It's better fitting. It's better as a stand case (whereby you can horizontally stand the touchpad to watch, say, netflix on the Android-rooted device). incipio keeps sliding down, meaning you're constantly propping it back up. Never once had to reprop up the touchpad in the acase. Every 10 seconds, I found myself repositioning the touchpad in the incipio. REALLY annoying.

cutouts in the incipio did NOT line up. The charging slot at the bottom of the incipio was just off left. The acase, absolutely perfect. Same with the rest of the cutouts.

Can't comment on the touchstone wireless charging, don't have one. However, considering the padding difference between the acase (awesome), and the incipio, afraid to put it down on the table, I'll choose the acase.

Final analysis:

incipio=crap

acase=great
[TouchPad Accessories] hajalie24:
I have the same case (except it's poetic, not acase) that I bought for $18.95 off amazon and I really like it. I just wish it can go in portrait mode. My only issue is that it is a little less stable while on my lap but I like how there are hinges instead of having something that surrounds the bezel. That was the main reason I bought the case.
[TouchPad Accessories] tek818:
ALL Incipio products I've ever seen have been complete garbage!
[TouchPad Accessories] newarkhiphop:
yea acase by far i have it , its a bit more than most cases but totally worth it , only issue with it is when you have it standing on one of the grooves the speakers are blocked and sound becomes muffled a bit, not a make or break by any means but some ppl will find it annoying

Is there a way to put an SMS count on the Handcent icon? I use widgetlocker, and one of the swipe bars goes to my Handcent app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrispyCritter:
...

I've been using Handcent for 2 years now, and I've always had an unread message count at the top whenever I've had unread IMs.. of course this may not be what you're asking about?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
I believe you're talking about the iOS style unread notifications directly on the app icon.

If that's what you're talking about, I know that GO Launcher has an add-in that does this for the stock app and GO SMS. Whether it works for Handcent or not, I could not tell you; GO is better, anyway. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hood_Station:
Hi Currently i'm using an iPhone4 on H20 (AT&T MVNO). But I really want to jump ship to the Galaxy Nexus, and also Walmart/Tmobile $30 100minutes/5G Data..but I have a few questions...

1. Should I go ahead and activate my Google Voice account before I receive my Galaxy Nexus? I want to have my same number.

2. In order for me to get the $30 plan, all I have to do is purchase this: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Prepaid-SIM-Activation-Kit -----&--- go here http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/ActivateCodes.aspx -----to activate?

Should I do that before my Galaxy Nexus comes in? Because I also currently have an Nexus S so I can use that phone IMEI to use if the Tmobile site ask me for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Do everything on your Nexus S just to get it ready. My old phone was T-Mobile Nexus S. I have the $30 plan. My Gnex came today, I popped in the sim and that was it.

If you want your old cell number as google voice number you need to port it to google voice. Which will cancel whatever cell carrier service is tied to that number. So if you're under contract you'll have to pay ETF.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hood_Station:
Thank you so much for the quick reply!

So lets say I do everything right now including activating the tmobile plan. You suggest that I port my number over to Google Voice first, or activate the $30 plan first?

I'm so confused with this, so sorry if i'm causing any headaches...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Well google voice and activating the $30 T-Mobile plan are 2 separate things. So whatever way works for you will work.

For example, here's what I did almost a year ago. I had a verizon OG Droid phone still under contract for like another year. The Nexus S came out, and I wanted a cheaper plan and that phone. So I bought the phone from best buy, went to a T-Mobile store, and signed up for an Even More Plus Plan. I suspended my verizon plan just to make sure my new phone and carrier were a keeper.

After 2 month I used google to port my old verizon number to google voice, effectively canceling my verizon contract w/ a prorated ETF. (I did that so I don't have to deal with calling verizon and dealing with customer service crap - and to just keep my old number for the hell of it). I use a different google voice number now.

Anyway, 10 month later the $30 plan comes out for T-Mobile. So I suspend my even more plus plan, and been using the $30 plan the past month or 2 on my nexus s. Today my Gnex came, and I put took out the sim and put it in my Gnex.

I still need to call to cancel my even more plus plan, since I am happy with the $30 one. I can do all this without caring about the cell number tied to my account cause I exclusively use my google voice number for everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
OK guys, what about the voice mail? (I didn't port yet), I have called Tmo to find out that I don't have the forward feature as a prepaid subscriber... Anyone wanna shed some light on that?

Are you saying if I port my existing number I won't have to deal with Tmo voice mail? Can anyone please write a short guide on how to do this and what feature one would expect? What are the downsides too? The most recent I found on the net was created back in 2009...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flash728:
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, but I work at a Costco Wirless Kiosk, and I have access to LOTS of those tmobile prepaid activation codes. If anyone has a tmobile sim card and wants to get the $30 plan on their own, then PM me and I'll try to get you an activation code. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
In the other thread about the $30 t-mobile plan, a user indicated that you have to call T-mobile after activating and tell them that you don't want T-mobile's voicemail service.

You then simply setup Google Voice as your primary voicemail, and you'll receive it just fine, without it coming to T-mobile then forwarding to GV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robot_agenda:
i am in the process of doing this as wifi calling does not exist on my galaxy nexus via tmobile. if i port my number to google and get a new tmobile sim, when people call my ported number will it ring my phone? when i dial out will it be my old number or the new one?

I have flashed my phone with the Gummycharged GBE 2.1 that i DL'ed from rootwiki. I keep getting the same txt msg over and over, also if my phone is charging, sometimes when i take it off, i have to reboot my phone to get it to work right. my firmware is 2.3.4, Baseband Version is EE4, Kernale is EP1 and Build is EP1. is there a better baseband, kernale and build i should be using?
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
Thats odd. Im running gbe 2.1 with no problems. I would suggest a data wipe and reinstall gbe 2.0 then install 2.1. Thats all I can think of

[Streak 5 General] needspractice:
My latest discovery of tTorrent pro and transdroid has sent me to love this device even more. Its like my little personal computer... A downloading machine. While having an Unlimited plan and being already over 50gb its kinda of fun. I mean wherever I go I can locate anything I need atm.

Ofcourse the big screen for the latest movies via MX Player or Mobi Player is really great with the large screen.

Tethering via Portable Hot spot is awesome...

Amazon mp3, kindle, shopping and a free app every day ...

Emulaters and Games nice and big is always nice...

Sirus XM Radio ...

Color Note for all my basic note needs ...

I mean what am I going to do when my Streak breaks and I can no longer get another one? Also I wonder if one day I will have to upgrade to 4g LTE and my 3g Unlimited Data plan will not bridge over to or turn into 4g LTE Unlimited Data plan. What if I just buy a 4g LTE device and pop my SIM card in it I wonder if that would work. I have Unlimited Smartphone plan not a specific speed plan.

Well Anyways hope you had fun reading my posts or any other of my posts. Tell me why you like your Dell Streak ...

Last note though I do agree with a lot of members here that the dell streak should have continued because like they said I get the same exact thing to this day. What kind of phone is that? WoW that is nice and big also sleek. I really think if Dell positioned it better and opened it to more carriers it would be a much more success.

Best,

Streaking With My Streak ...

It's snappy! Currently, I use a motorola atrix for my work phone... only because my dell streak does not meet the security standards for my corporate email, but that is the only reason. I think my Streak is just as snappy as my Atrix, and given the larger screen size.. It's fantastic!

I even went as far as to buy two additional streaks, for if and when I break the one I'm using.

Thank goodness for DJ Steve's GB build! I'm crazy excited to see what he can do with ICS!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoo:
I'm attempting to flash clockwork recovery and can't get the phone to respond to fastboot devices when in fastboot mode. I've tried everything I can find with regards to the drivers (pdanet, usbdeview, etc) and I can get google's and pdanet's drivers working fine with the phone booted normally (responds to adb devices). The problem seems to be that windows appears not to even notice that the phone is plugged in in fastboot mode and does not appear in the device manager, making the manual installation of drivers an impossibility.

Anyone know how to fix this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
in the main setting, application, developer settings.. is usb debugging enabled?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flodb113:
When I first set up ADB and Fastboot on my pc, I was getting a response when writing 'adb devices' in the console. However, 'fastboot devices' returned absolutely nothing.

Solution (with phone connected to pc and usb debugging cheched):

1-shut down the phone

2-press and hold Volume Up key + Power

3-once in bootloader interface, in the pc command prompt, type 'fastboot devices'.

Voila!

By the way, don't mount the phone as usb storage device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoo:
Thanks for the responses guys but yes, USB debugging is enabled and yes, I've used that way to get to fastboot mode as well as adb reboot bootloader

I have a same issue - did you managed to find solution for yours?

Cheers,

Wiktor
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean1984:
easy way to set up fastboot :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catalinu:
Any solution

Have the same problem: locked bootloader, not rooted 4.1.2. In ADB everything is ok, drivers ok (in device manager), can get it through "adb devices". But when I boot in fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), I hear the ti-da windows sound (usb unpluged - from adb session), but no ta-di when the phone re-boot in fastboot. No exclamation mark in device manager, nothing. The USB receive nothing when in fastboot. Is it possible that the fastboot image is corrupted? Can I reflash it? Or any other advice?

Thanks

EDIT - SOLVED - at least this step

The problem was the famous "broken power button"! I knew that I had problems with the power button (didn't work - that's why I try to flash a rom (4.2.1 or customized) with sleep tile in notification area).

I thought that the button is all the time OFF and don't switch to ON, but I finally understood that when when I boot in fastmode it freeze before installing device on the PC (I also had no volume up / down navigation in fastboot, a sign that it was frozen). So I ended to consider that the power button was permanently in ON position. I opened my phone and I measure the impedance on the power button. I had ~ 4ohms in off position of the button and 1.8 ohms (cheap multimetter.... probably should be almost 0) in on position. I measured also on volume switch where I had ~ infinite on off position, so I concluded that the button if blocked. I tried to see if I can resurrect it but no choice, so I took it off (unsoldered). I put the battery and the USB cable and boot it. From ADB I reboot it in fastboot and voila! The device popped in device manager! One problem solved! BUT...

I tried to use the Nexus Root Toolkit and it boots in fastmode and try to unlock the bootloader, but it asked me on phone screen if I agree for unlocking. I was able to use the volume to select Yes but I couldn't choose it with power! I had no option but to take the battery off. Starting from that point it was almost impossible to power it again. When I plugged the USB it shown the battery icon (charging). I tried every trick that I found on web, but nothing worked (even to fast plug / unplug many times the USB to overcharge it, but nothing). I was able only by pressing on the middle of volume (so Up and DOWN in the same time) and plus the USB to get to the screen of unlocking bootloader, but without the options YES/NO on the screen. Seems that it saves this state between boots, but why no option? Finally I was unable to boot at all, and it is like totally bricked :(

I thought that the power button is a simple switch ON / OFF, so I soldered 2 wires and I tried to touch them (short circuit) to simulate the ON, but nothing happened. Is it the button more complex that a simple switch? no ideea...

So now have a better phone than before (at least theoretically it should be able to fastboot), but it values zero because I can't power it on....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abeman:
OK So I am in the exact same situation.

Nexus S, Broken power button, adb can see the device, fastboot cannot. fastboot cannot be navigated with the volume keys.

I also want to put an other rom onto it, but firstly I want to put TWRP recovery on it, as it supports touch, CW needs the power

button which like mentioned does not work.

I would rather not unsolder my power button to get into fastboot, any suggestions on how that might still be achieved?

thx
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catalinu:
Yes, it should have been better for me to have also a possibility to enter in fastboot with the power button blocked in ON position, but I didn't find. And now I know no way how to power it up...

has anybody considered using this executable from samsung ..

from what i understood when installing it ,it only unzips the contents at programfiles/Samsung/drivers

then you can check this thread to install them spesifically http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901617

..In short.

Go to

"Device Manager"

find

"Android 1.0" or something like that (i had my device in fastboot/bootloader mode, dont know if it was necessary)

install drivers from the drivers directory and install

This.

You really can't argue with AOSP ROMs. I mean, I guess it's not perfect until all features are 100% functional, but as far as I'm concerned the only problem is bluetooth, and only audio at that. Can still transfer files 100% intact.

After that it's got the most options, the smoothest interface, and doesn't have that no audio after first call problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] abdeviation:
Okay so every time you flash a ROM, people say you should calibrate your battery, that is fully charged it, let it drain, then recharge back to full to optimize battery life.

My question is, why the heck would that affect the actual battery consumption? Sure it makes sense that if it's not calibrated, it may incorrectly report the wrong % of battery left but how does that change how long the battery lasts. It would make sense that after a calibration, the phone would more accurately report the percentage of battery left but I don't understand how it changes the rate it at which battery juice is being consumed.:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] abdeviation:
No one knows?
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
just a guess: could there be build in shut-offs when the % reaches a certain level? So if the % says 0, the phone shuts off even if there is more juice there?
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
Calibrating the battery doesn't affect battery life, period. Calibrating the battery can however affect the accuracy of any kind of battery percent monitoring apps you may have.
[HTC EVO 3D] abdeviation:
That's what I thought too! It's just that, there's always so many people complaining about bad battery life and then other people telling them to calibrate the battery and they come back saying "oh yayyy, my battery lasts forever now!"

Doesn't make any sense
