[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twitceh:
Just a warning to the OP, guys in Broadway and Fortress are really 'tricky' they can sometimes take your pre-order deposit then when the phone is in, give it to other customers who are paying cash straight away and then keep you waiting so their cash flow is higher...

Normally deposits are 300 HKD, which I have checked with at Fortress and Wilson. I've got my preordered with Wilson.

To be honest, it's an awesome phone but 450+ GBP or 5,000 HKD+ for a mobile phone is still very painful. I could build a pretty decent PC with that money.. But anyways I sold my HTC Desire and have no phone to use at the moment, so the GN should come in stock in HK from the 14-16th.

Has anyone got any tips to help check the Galaxy Nexus for any bugs/flaws when picking my one up? Like screen deficiencies, Touch screen issues etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droid_does:
ahh well; I guess I didn't do my math before posting

but well at least anyone that likes in HK that's on here gets a heads up if they don't notice.

They told me mid-month

hmm.....I haven't preordered from them yet since I have to get rid of my Atrix first.

Is Wilson accepting pre-orders now?

as for checking for defects; I've read that you shouyld check the physical camera module to see if its aligned up as some people have said that it wasn't on theirs and returned theirs for another.

Thanks!:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twitceh:
I preordered the phone last Thursday, the day Wilson started preorders. A friend who works at 3 preordered his on the Wednesday and said he would get his on the 14th. I think you can try Sincere Centre or price.com.hk, because if you now order from Wilson or Fortress etc, you'll have to wait for at least second batch which nobody knows when that will be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droid_does:
Thanks mate

I'll get a mod to lock this thread as its served its purpose

Can people post pics off their battery life and set up? I'm getting an daily average of 9-12 hours. I hear of people getting 1-2 days with he same set up as me. 4 hours phone call, text, web, words with friends, etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
I get about ten hours of battery life but I spend about four or five hours non stop on the internet/ Facebook/YouTube and that definitely takes a lot off of my battery.. I'm running calkulus ROM with the ICS theme.. I'm not sure if this particular theme takes a lot from my battery but I feel like I could get two full days if I keep my 3g off and keep it to texting/phone calls. Hope this helped
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
On heavy business days with tons of phone calls like 50...lots of texts again around 50...checking email every hour...GPS once a day...I get around 8 hours before battery shows red. But that is using the phone heavy, in my hands all day always on it. For comparison, my EVO 4G with that same heavy use would die in around 4 hours.

On weekends with WiFi mainly...few texts...and casual web surfing, I easily go a whole day and into the next morning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dude2k5:
Had the exact same, 8-9 hours battery, drained so fast. However, tried Calkins ROM, with Tegrak Profiles and it now gets 20-24 hours. I'm really happy with the battery now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Grub4dos:
Two separate shots on heavy all day xda trolling.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deziking:
when I don't spend much time usually during work days I get about 11 hr battery life. And I don't use juice defender crap either. Turn everything off go on 3g, if I need to use internet i'll just use works wifi.

Short review of the Plantronix Discovery 975

Bought it on ebay, Works perfect with the Note, all button combinations work, even Velingo performs nice with long press, and then I can do what ever I want.

I am very much satisfied.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] 278650228:
hey guys! How to make Kindle fire share with Android Phone. My Ipad2 and Notebook can easily share my android phone,but KF can't,I use the App——Wifi founder，it can only find my phone signal,but couldn't connect. Thx U all.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Nandorian:
I use dropbox to send files between my phone and KF.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] krelvinaz:
Most likely because the KF doesn't support AdHoc WiFi connections.

Like Nandorian said, use something like DropBox.

There are many other alternatives.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Houndog101:
Yes it does, I'm using Ad-hoc wi/fi switcher and can switch back and forth between the two. I use it to connect to my HTC Hero.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] krelvinaz:
Not by default it doesn't.... The OP didn't provide much info about what he has done, but a good guess is that he isn't using that and by default the KF doesn't support AdHoc WiFi connections.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Houndog101:
Doesn't matter who's fault it is, It supports it or I wouldn't be able to switch from infrastructure mode to ad-hoc mode. Does require root to do this.. :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] jtcarnes:
There is an app that will make the KF use ad-hoc wifi... I don't know what it is, though...

I just hacked the radio in my wife's X2 to enable the hotspot while bypassing Verizon... now it throws out infrastructure wifi.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] krelvinaz:
Huh? Default != Fault
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] gett:
Can I ask you to share brief tutorial for noobs how to do that. I wish to send files from Galaxy S2 to Kindle. Without internet access. Idea is to use my S2 as ext storage :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] gisxer:
i have a KF and a galaxy s. i use dropbox too but it's not feasible for large files. i use swiftp for all my devices. really simple and easy. my galaxy is fully modded with a ROM, but i didn't want to mess with the KF too much so it's not rooted just sideloaded a few apps.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ReverseWolf:
AirDroid is great for interfacing Mobile>PC>Mobile, which I tend to like for backup/checksum options. It's not a direct ICU connection, though; which sounds like what you're looking for.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] gett:
It's quite close to my needs. But, as far as I undestand Airdroid work with PC, and I am looking to find a way to connect KF with phone via Wi-Fi, but don't using Internet (long flights, for example)

Anyway, thank you! Button pressed :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ReverseWolf:
Backatcha!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] 278650228:
Thank you u all:)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] titipool:
Dropbox is a good choice, but only for small size file. Because it takes a long time for large size file!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] thanhtrung0111:
you can use app "file expert" to share between two android devices by wifi. special, if your device have wifi hotspot, you can share without data internet.

i tested by LG P500 and my KF
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] fwp:
I use WellFTP server from the marketplace. (Called WIFI Transport on icon but WellFTP server inside the application)

I run this on the Kindle. Then from the Phone I run ESFileExplorer and ftp to it to do bidirectional transfers. As long as they are on the same network (WIFI) this will work. I have not tried this on ADHOC, since I am running a stock non-root Kindle.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] justin94:
Get a nexus. It supports USB hosting. Lol
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] caribouusers:
Use Tonido to share files between your kindle fire and Android phone
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] BriDroid-74:
I'm stock, so not sure if this will work on rooted?

I found online a program called "Print to Kindle". I have it installed on my computer and when you go into the "print" option on anything, one of the options is print to kindle. I hit that and the next time I turn on my Fire, it downloads into the documents and I have it.

It's pretty cool and easier than emailing it to your kindle email.

But yes, dropbox, sugarsync, or box work good too!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] romber:
In stock ROM, for ad-hoc work we need to modify wpa_supplicant.conf(need root)

and it is not really work fine for me.

In CM7 the ad-hoc work just fine~ so i use samba, ftp or other service to share my apk.

is there any download available presently ?
[Galaxy S II General] florexus:
wow.. this is very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
Some of the stuff shown is pretty nice. However, I'm not too keen on installing an apk that collects hardware information (they never specified exactly what) and sends it to the devs.

I'll wait until either a) the registration apk / the devs are vouched for, or b) the official app comes out and is vouched for.
[Galaxy S II General] ghmail2:
yeah but it is for this video, i thought this would for every 2.3 andorid, already sign up for beta testing, hope they send me a apk as soon as possible

Looks very slick indeed it depends on how much it costs when it is finally released on the market that SPB shell is a total rip off no launcher should cost as much as that.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
They send :

-Your complete app list

-Your display information(height,width, density)

-Your IMEI

-Your language

-Your Phone Model + SDK version

-Your CPU Information

-Your total available memory

-Your Mac-Adress

-And of course your e-mail

to their own server.
[Galaxy S II General] buzzboy:
Agreed, link removed just in case. Wait for official confirmation.
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
all this! and not even relevant...avoid install!
[Galaxy S II General] Skarium:
Actually, if you think about it, it does make sense, though they should ask you for permission really

Well, everything but the IMEI. Could be used as an identifier for your phone, but I don't think so.
[Galaxy S II General] dikime:
It can be modded in 10 minutes to block it from sending that info... by someone who knows how to do it :D
[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
Awesome! Me wants!
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Yeah but since info is probably manually checked to get BETA apk it doesn't make sense.
[Galaxy S II General] Trakinão:
Beautiful!

But, there are so many cool ROMs, Launchers and more that I have no time to try all of if!

I need to stop to read this forum and be quite with mine... :)

Thanks for share it
[Galaxy S II General] bboysup:
I have registrated myself and they've sent me an automatic response mail to complete my registration. The apk automatically detects what phone you have (s2 ofcource), the processor (armv7) and your android version (4.0.1).

I've done an AVG scan, you never know and nothing has been found.

Looks professional, I will update if I receive something :-)

[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
lol sounds kinda fishy. avoid until it's officially launched
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
The only thing that scares me when I see things like that, even if they do look nice, is how they'll perform when in final release. I remember everyone getting excited about SPB shell... Look where that is now. It was clunky, unoptimized and almost noone bought it because it was too expensive...

Also, when is release slated? SPB took forever and promised alot, ended up dissapointing much like the age old joke of a game called DUKE NUKEM FOREVER. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Anarchist310000:

But it's not the same, although similar.

TSF looks like it may be legit, fingers crossed.

[Galaxy S II General] brainimpact:
TAT is a Swedish Company so I doubt its same devs looks like they took their ideas, any way RIM purchased TAT last year which is why they disappeared & the stuff they made for Android and MeeGo(before it was killed) never went anywhere.

TAT did make UI's for companies wanting there own skins/UI's it would of never been released to end users any way unless someone like Samsung or SE hired them to make theirs

Does look very good! Cant believe someone would have gone to the effort of all that just to get some e-mail addresses if it was a scam, there are easier ways

[Galaxy S II General] eric0703:

[Galaxy S II General] rayz0r:
I want this!
[Galaxy S II General] lobr1:
Graphically, I'm not so impressed. The icons are kinda horrible.....
[Galaxy S II General] ozzy lion:
That's OK, that's what themes are for!

It looks snazzy but it will probably be $15 like SPB Shell which is crap.

I tried SPB shell 3D out for the 15mins you get before the refund button disappears and it was lame. All eye candy with no substance.

This one looks much better but with all the work that would go into developing this sort of custom UI it either has to be expensive or they have to sell heaps of licences.
[Galaxy S II General] Royaless:
Im agree with you.

look like a great launcher, cant wait for this.
[Galaxy S II General] Cptnodegard:
Agree with what some have said here..the effects and widgets look nice, but the actual launcher looks like crap to my eyes. Remains to be seen if it can live up to other third party launchers in ways that matter or if it's another SPB
[Galaxy S II General] jgalvez21:
is kinda like SPB 3d shell wonder if its gotta support themes that really reason starting to dislike 3d shell
[Galaxy S II General] MaulikS:
Its here finally...Price??? A whopping 17$ !!!!!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tsf.shell
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
Waaaaa? $17?!

$1 gets you a reply
[Galaxy S II General] Cptnodegard:
Tried it out, uninstalled within minutes. Encountered two bugs within the first minute of use, and the whole experience was sort of like using a rube goldberg machine to press a button.
[Galaxy S II General] fro5tie:
I dont understand all the criticism of it being $17 (or just over £10), SPB Shell is £9.99 and they have sold 100,000+, it makes sense for them to enter around that mark. Yes its more expensive, probably the most expensive launcher, but if you didnt have SPB and you compared the two, you wouldnt baulk at paying 5% more than SPB for what looks to be way more than 5% a better launcher
[Galaxy S II General] Cptnodegard:
SPB has 100,000+ downloads

Go launcher EX has 10,000,000+ downloads

Is it really that hard to understand?

Just because one glorified launcher is overpriced isn't an excuse to release another. Your logic seems to be "it's worth 5% more than SPB", but that logic suggests that SPB is the only option to begin with. The bigger question is, is it worth 17 dollars more than Go launcher? Or touchwiz, sense, other default launchers? At 5 bucks, it would have been a no brainer. At 10 bucks, I wouldn't have been happy about the bugs described above after just a minute's use, but I also wouldn't have wondered about the mental stability of the person setting the price. At $17...well
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Just bought it. I've wasted money on more useless crap. But this launcher shows promise. I just hope themes aren't all pay. Otherwise they'll lose me for good.
[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:
U whaaaaat! £10! Ur having a laugh!
[Galaxy S II General] goTouch:
I gave my 15 minutes try but it didn't open on my SGS2. I'm running the superb CheckRom RevoHD v6 ROM on my SGS2.

Better luck to me next time.

$17 is too much for a JTSTMF* launcher

[Galaxy S II General] mattisfaction:
I am using it, I think it's quite quirky but useful, plus fast and stable, although not really worth the big price tag
[Galaxy S II General] michal_alton:
Don't like it

My pros and cons:

pros:

- comparing lets say to ADW is that you can arrange widgets anyhow you want

- very smooth and seems stable

- selecting multiple icons

cons:

- considering of what it offers - price

- button to switch pages, which is hidden when the doc is open and you can't move to another screen without closing it first + no pinch to zoom for screens

- not so many widgets

- selecting icons is eye candy but useless really. Unless you move around icons each day many, many times. Otherwise I find it useless.

- not much customisation. Except of placement on the screen.

- no themes (at least for now)

I put it for few minutes but don't like the idea with a button to choose screens. Im so used to swiping that I find it annoying to press it each time. Definitely not worth 10 pounds!

I recomend to try sweeterhome launcher, you will be amazed with possible customisation! And its free for now ;)

Possibly the worst launcher I have ever used.

Sent from my GT-I9100T
[Galaxy S II General] sunnylovesalman:
I am running this on my S2 and believe me it looks Bogus.

I dont know about others opinions but personally I felt it to be absolute bogus and disastrous in looks when compared to SPB Shell.

It looks cheap other than just the music widget which could be worked on and be used on our native platforms too .
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
The thing is with this launcher is that it looks good on paper but the practicality of it is just not there. Its more then being far too expensive it just doesn't work properly. Samsung have made a better job of the new screen transitions on the newer ICS builds of touchwiz than this. Then the whole page thing just seemed a shoddy mess. Of course this is just my opinion and there may be people who love it, I'm just saying what I think.
[Galaxy S II General] :
tried it played with it back to Go Launcher. Just did not do it for me and i hate when people try to make Launchers different than keep it simple but add the magic touch to it...It looks great but to much for me to be honest. Go Launcher has all the stuff i need. And as i said before the amount that they are charging is stupid for this launcher. hehe i do not care though as i got mine for free.:D hell Nova launcher and all ICS launchers are better than this
[Galaxy S II General] bungknees:
What the hell is wrong with you people, yes its pretty expensive, but my god it is smooth. And its something new, and different, personally I like it. I also have spb shell, and this one leaves that for dead as regards smoothness and speed. Nothing wrong with change.
[Galaxy S II General] Kaffee4Eck:
Simple and easy. GO Launcher has the same settings and more for these effects and for free!!! I use GO Launcher only on all phones on all roms...
[Galaxy S II General] Kaffee4Eck:
And u can play with all settings to find the best for yourself. GO Launcher should go standart xD
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Your phone cost you what, £350? £400? Did you ever buy any apps? I have maybe three pirated apps on my phone and it's only because the market won't let me buy them. I purchase all apps I like or that show promise... £10 isn't much unless you're a student or unemployed. Hell, I spend more on breakfast sometimes.
[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
Sorry, but this doesn't compare with Go launcher EX. Go launcher was my favorite launcher for 2 months, but it isn't gpu accelerated and the transitions stutter often.

Regina 3D is even better, but it has some slowdowns from time to time. So far TSF Shell worked at 60fps no matter what I did with the phone. If the developer will listen to user opinions, this has the potential to be the king of all launchers.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Had a play with this and went back to Apex pretty quickly. There are some nice ideas here, but the whole concept of moving between screens is, in my opinion, just a gimmick and not as practical as swiping.
