[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
Newegg has the Unlocked GSM Galaxy nexus for $699, brand new:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...tion&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na

You can get 2.6% cashback from ebates.com

Then you can get whatever cashback from the credit card you use (for me, its 1.25% from american express, who also doubles the mfg warranty for a year)

If you bought the Google offers for Newegg, itd be another $40 off ($20 for $40 off newegg)

Newegg also has $10 off $50 "new" customers:

http://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/newcustomer050611/index.html

So, for me:

$699 - $40 coupon - $10 promo code = $650 - 2.6% ($17) - 1.25% ($8) = $625 + $20 for the cost of the $40 coupon = $645, cheapest I've seen for a brand new Galaxy Nexus with free 2-day shipping from shoprunner, free regular ground shipping if you dont have shoprunner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Wow, that is a good find. It is too bad they did not have it last week when i ordered my phone somewhere else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
lol at newegg...."was: $999.99"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Lmao, that is pretty funny. Where the hell did that number come from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vandalet:
Thanks for the heads up, Just ordered mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
haha yeah that's funny. no idea where that came from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnydopemsr:
Bought it 12/02/2011... got it refunded to 699.99 :-P so I couldnt use coupons to get it lower i still will use charlie's saying "WINNING!"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shanghei:
Is the phone worth getting at $650 or are we better off waiting 1 month and getting it for $600.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
seriously though, who'd want to dish out that much just for 16GB?...

unless you have a serious hard on for Samsung or unlimited data & all your media is in "the cloud" you'd be insane to spend that kind of money.

of course, this is coming from the guy who spent $800 on a comic book(Incredible Hulk #181)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NardVa:
I'm waiting until it drops down to 550.00. Right now you are paying a premium to be one of the first to have the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shanghei:
I really want to try out the nexus but its hard for me to give up my motorola atrix 2 since I paid pretty much $340 for it brand new and thats including brand new HD dock, car dock, battery dock, 6 extra batteries, atrix 1 laptop dock, motorola extended battery.

So for over half the cost of the nexus, I bought a fully loaded motorola atrix 2 with all the trimmings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
Well, I personally dislike Samsung and AMOLED, but almost every review out there deems this the best Android phone, if not, the best smartphone out.

I do have unlimited data and all my music is on Google Music, so any space on the phone will be for movies or game downloads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djkinetic:
650 isnt bad, i couldnt wait so i ended up ordering it on ebay for 730, too bad it wasnt in stock at new egg at the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
also, don't forget that this phone will not have any manufacturer warranty, unlike if you bought it from expansys or negri. I rather have the peace of mind, that's why I bought it from expansys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
where did you get this information?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nMIK-3:
Newegg has now soldout. That was fast right? :)

If you use bigcrumbs.com to shop newegg it says you can get up to 4.8% cashback. But if you go to terms it says 4.8% cashback apply for marketplace items only. Is galaxy nexus under the marketplace category?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wendellc:
Too bad, already got mine from handtec and got it today, $690. I wonder which build they are selling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shanghei:
No it was sold directly by newegg

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] rakesh0221:
Hi Friends,

I have viewpad7 from last 6 months with Android 2.2 OS.

I want to install windows 8 on it.

let me know if it is possible or some one had tried.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Flense:
Windows 8 won´t work with the armv6-CPU.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgruberman:
I have a Samsung Infuse and previously had Froyo installed using DxPro desktop launcher. Back when I had that, I was able to long tap on an item and it would bring up a context menu, and one of those options was "Application Info". It would bring up the screen below: (continue past screenshot for question)

NOW I installed Serenity 7 onto the phone, and am NOT using any form of desktop launcher, and when I long tap an item, it just goes into the "move/trash" mode and I don't get a context menu to bring up the "Force Stop" or "Uninstall" options. I REALLY liked these options because if I tried an app and I didn't like it, just uninstall it right there from the app rather than opening the market.

NOW... I use "Toggles Lite" and it brings up a menu of currently running processes in it. If I click the process, I THEN get the above screenshot menu, but I liked running it right from the app itself.

Two part Question:

1) Is this lacking functionality now due to no launcher, or the different ROM, or what?

2) Is there a way to get it back(may be answered in the first question), or perhaps install a 3rd party app that performs the same way?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage Applications.. from there, select the application you want to manage and it will display that screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgruberman:
Well first off, thank you, that is another way to get to it which may help.

However, I'm looking more specifically to be able to access it from that icon when I'm on the home screen via a long tap. I can access it through my "Toggles" program, but would ideally like to from the Home Screen immediately after I decide I don't like the app, rather than having to navigate through menus, then select the app from a list.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Pretty sure that's a launcher feature, ADW launcher has it and apparently the launcher you were using on froyo has it too. Just download one of those and set is as your default launcher.

Sent from my B.A. Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrsexypants:
you could also use this app called "rom toolbox" its pretty sweet got a whole bunch of crap you can do it won't come up via long tap but when you pull it up you can see all running processes etc..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgruberman:
Now forgive the possible newbie question, but can I install a launcher on top of S7?

I thought S7 is basically that.... or is S7 a replacement to Froyo and I can treat it as my "standard OS"?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgruberman:
This also may be something asked before, but is there a list of launchers(as I'm asking this, I'm about to Google it, but thought I'd ask anyway)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Serendipity 7 is the rom ( custom OS) you flashed on your phone, a launcher is an alternate home interface that you can run on top of your rom, that's exactly what you did on froyo. I don't know of a list but there aren't that many, the most popular launchers are ADW and GoLauncher, Zeam Launcher (both in the market), the customization for these is virtually endless lol give one of those a shot.

Hit the thanks button if I helped :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgruberman:
So in terms of an equivalent to make sure I understand... (I know what a launcher is, but I guess I'm asking if Froyo is an equivalent to S7 in terms of an "OS" or ROM)

Froyo: Rom

DxPro: Launcher

S7: Rom

GoLauncher: Launcher

I actually downloaded GoLauncher a little while ago before you posted this, and there is so much to do lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
You got it bud! and yes it's extremely versatile.

im assuming it went well since i have the yellow triangle and my rogers sim now works.

is there any known problems with my type of combination

or any other help at all?

Im totally new to this and i dont want to mess anything up by using another rom or something because i need it before a flight tomorrow morning.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
You could delete the following using root explorer:

/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click_short.ogg

/system/media/audio/ui/Shutter_01.ogg

That way you delete the audio file the camera uses. If you don't want to do it as a permanent solution, you could backup the files if you want to restore them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ialready:
hmm i already tried to rename those files in root explorer but i got a no permission error. but your post brought me back to it and i successfully renamed them after turning on "mount r/w".

Thanks! lol

Although it would have been cool to keep the sounds and only make it silent when it was in silent mode :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bigjim1488:
I'm thinking of making the switch over to Att because of sprint's lack luster speeds and I was wondering if anyone is having issues staying under the data cap? I currently have unlimited data but I don't use my phone much anymore because i am usually either roaming or having sub 150k speeds.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mattrb:
The 2gb datapro plan is a good amount of data if you dont use netflix or slingplayer. You can use youtube but not too much. I recommend just getting a used ebay tmobile phone and using it with walmarts tmobile cheapo $50 plan. Then root the phone to remove the "4g" throttle. Or get the $30 walmart plan if you use less then 100 minutes or only use voip apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Renatog:
I'm 20 days into my first real billing month and have used only 546MB of my 2GB plan. At home and at work I have wifi, so my only data usage would be on the road. My significant data usage comes from streaming music on my way to work and going back home. That's about 45 minutes total, maybe a few minutes less sometimes, of constant streaming. I don't run any updates or download/install apps while out on the road. I also do some browsing and streaming music during the weekend too while I'm out of the house. I don't think I will reach 1GB this month...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
What has you average been on sprint? You can see it online in billing. I have been on art since august after years with sprint and the difference was night and day. I use a ton of data though so I was fortunate that one of the existing lines on the family plan I joined had unlimited data

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bigjim1488:
That's the only thing I'm worried about. I usually average between 1.5 and 2.5 gigs a month but that's on sprint's crappy ass network where I can watch YouTube so that's basically all fb, internet browsing, picture uploads and misc stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
My average is about 4gb a month. I am a heavy user (not an abuser) but I do try and use wifi when available. If I were to solely use the network I would come in somewhere around 15-20gb per month.

Keep in mind...going over just means they charge you $10 and give you another gb ...it isn't the end of the world and you have access to your usage at all times thus you can adjust if need be
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GalaxySkyrocket500:
Im using the 4gb/month and never get anywhere near it.. but I do have a wireless router at the house for my "hot spots":D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bigjim1488:
I'll probably just bite the bullet and grab the 4gb with hotspot. I don't Netflix or sling box at work so that will save plenty of data right there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GalaxySkyrocket500:
I like your Username...... "1488" part for sure:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hunterd13:
i was in the same situation. sprint customer for over 10 years. tired of crappy speeds. my usage was between 2 and 3 gigs.thats pandora, youtube, facebook and general surfing. i switched and cant believe i waited so long. i am on the 2gb datapro and thats fine as long as i use my wifi at home. i dont try to limit the use, i will just pay the $10 overage if i have to. at least i can watch a youtube clip without buffering every 5 seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aretzios:
Although I have an unlimited plan, I follow my data usage. For a typical billing period, I use something between 3 and 4 GB of data. I am a moderate user, mostly checking the web and email and hardly any streaming.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cyberguycpt:
Make yhd switch you wont regret it. Internet on hspa+ or Lte is blazing fast compared to sprint. Had sprint since 07 left about 2 months ago. Last month my usage was 1.4 Gb. Normal internet usage really doesn't use that much data. And being unlimited is kind of overrated when your speeds stink.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
Dang... you guys use hardly any data.

I have unlimited data on a network that CAN handle heavy data easily, and I take advantage of that.

4 days in, 700MB used.

At this rate, it'll be about 3GB.... wow.

I though it'd be more then that, I'm actually trying to get throttled for a test...... time to download the entire Adobe Master CS5 collection on LTE. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Renatog:
Don't they just charge you $10 for each GB past your limit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skiierx131:
Not when you have unlimited data. They just throttle your speed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foethalove:
Here is an issue I have noticed that is not unique to this ICS ROM.

I frequently (every night) use voice actions to set my alarm. It's amazingly convenient. I have noticed that the voice action completes, you click set to confirm the correct time and the dialog pops up that says "alarm set for x hours x min". But the alarm does not always 'stick', you will notice the alarm clock will not appear in the notification area. Under clock > alarms it will show the correct alarm created and the box checked but the system does not really have the alarm set ( it wont actually go off). If you uncheck and then recheck the alarm will 'stick'. This doesn't happen every time but often enough to force me to check before I go to sleep. Any ideas what may be causing this?
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
There has just been a leaked build called EL13 for the Samsung Epic 4G TOUCH. Yes the touch. In this build, CIQ has been REMOVED by Samsung. No dev has touched it and there were no traces of Carrier IQ.

It is a leaked build by samfirmware. This is huge news for anyone with a Samsung device. I'm wondering if these later Gingerbread builds for the Samsung Epic 4G Will have no CIQ.

Figured I'd let everyone know and give them hope that Samsung is moving in the right direction!
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
First!

That is great news. It shows that the minority (us who root their Android) are being heard.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
And all it took was national news attention and a State Senator to get involved.
[Epic 4G General] ddrbeastappv1:
I suspect this to be true for the upcoming GB release.
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
I don't think Sprint will go for it, but they might use this build to test other forms of CIQ, like Preloaded, After-market(Userinstallable) instead of Embedded like we have now.

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Or just have it changed around and renamed.

Hidden from logs.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I know this was about the Touch, but the latest rdf for the Epic 4G (EL09) still lists the same version of CIQ. RDFs have been inaccurate before, but here's what's listed in the EL09 Epic 4G rdf for what it's worth:

DiagnosticsProtocolVersion 1.1.0
DiagnosticsClientVersion 3.2.13
DiagnosticsClientVendor CIQ

Regardless, I've never been worried about CIQ. The more the facts come out, the less worried I am.
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
i'd love to see an official update with CIQ removed.. that would totally be their admission to knowing it shouldn't have been there, but only after it gets media attention do they change their stance on it...

Otherwise, I'll be perfectly happy running custom roms with it removed.. :)
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Come back when it's missing in a final build.
[Epic 4G General] sendmespammails:
good to see CIQ gone in a leaked build at least
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
That's what I was thinking. Its just a test build, so it probably just hasn't been added in yet. Anything could happen, but I doubt it will be left out from the next update.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Sprint may be considering making this an opt-out service. I think that would require a less integrated version of CIQ that acts more like an apk.

'Privacy'.........(private data) a growing market.
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:

[Epic 4G General] poit:
Hmmm......there's no EL13 rdf for the Epic Touch and since that is today's date it's odd that there would be a leak of it already, but there is an EL12. It lists the same CIQ version we currently have.:

DiagnosticsProtocolVersion 1.1.0

DiagnosticsClientVersion 3.2.13

DiagnosticsClientVendor CIQ

[Epic 4G General] poit:
This article is taking a very small amount of information and making a HUGE jump to conclusions. All we know is that there is some mention of CIQ in a document that is involved in an active investigation. That doesn't mean that CIQ is being used by the FBI to snoop, it could just as easily (and likely) mean that the FBI is investigating CIQ at the request of some government official.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
What I did like about that article was that it cleared up the misconception that ciq logs the acual message body of texts. The statement from treve is on point, because I believe in his video he implies that ciq is capable of doin that.

So kudos to the article on that one.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
This was in the Cnet article:

While McCullagh notes that Carrier IQ is not guilty of keylogging, there are serious privacy concerns that need to be addressed. The software does report user data to wireless carriers, like what applications are used and web history.

So much for tethering, any apps for rooted phones and checking out the pornography sites.

I think we can all agree this is already too much of an invasion of privacy. The carrier can already pull text messages if they needed to.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:

[Epic 4G General] jojoyohan:
If CIQ was removed wouldn't it be sprint (or any other carrier) telling samsung that they do not want it included?
[Epic 4G General] lys3rgic:
pretty sure they can tell if you tether or looking at pr0n without CIQ :P

another reason why i don't care of CIQ.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
If you start using gobs of data, I'm pretty sure Sprint will figure out you are tethering regardless of CIQ. They are also your ISP when you surf the web, so every URL request goes through their servers. They know when you are surfing porn without CIQ.

It really is looking like CIQ is just what they say it is, a diagnostic tool. So far the worst privacy problem discovered in this scandal was HTC leaving debug code in their rom that exposed SMS messages in the logs.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
What if someone other than Sprint gets all this info? All Playstation network info was hacked and stolen. Lots of online merchants have sent me emails that their database was accessed illegally. Do we really need all this info in a nice neat place for hackers. You guys like all your private info in one place without your consent, fine. Leave this thread for us that care about our info and want it as private as posiible.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
If the carrier isn't collecting that data but CIQ is, then why? Force them to mod their software to only record the data the carrier wanted, dropped calls and failed texts.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
Some of you guys have hit the nail on the head...even if the carrier or CIQ doesn't use all of the data they collect...that doesn't stop hackers from stealing it from them, and that is what I'm more concerned about. And the fact that our data is "encrypted" doesn't help ease my concern either. If hackers have access to your data, encrypted or not, you are at risk when you shouldn't have to be.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
If this were true they wouldn't even need Carrier IQ.

Sent from my Samsung Legen-wait for it-dary! 4g
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
How wouldn't it be true? You don't think your ISP knows all about what porn you like, or that sprint can't be reasonably sure there's no app for playing WOW for 3 hours or checking for windows updates?

I don't like CIQ anymore than the next guy, but most of the concerns (gathering data on us that could be stolen) are there with or without CIQ.

You need CIQ to get access to phone level stuff. Apps running, bars for a given location, battery life, etc.

Sprint already knows where you are, who you call and for how long, every text message, every website you visit (though their connection), etc.

The fact that CIQ might have been storing it for them, and things like the https log are reasons for concern, but I think the internet has gone a little over board with the AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY KNOW EVERYTHING!!!?!?!!?! Cause that was largely always the case.
