So guys, I just got my MT4GS and I am wondering if I should root it right away, plenty of experience doing so but I see that it can't be put to S-On after you flip the switch. (Lame) Anywho, I would love to have the fall back ability to send this back if something goes wrong with it... If I put it to S-Off, will I be able to send it back? Are you SURE T-Mobile won't throw a fit if it's stock, unrooted, s-off?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
HTC has been known to send out S-Off devices. It's no issue.

Okay! I am taking your word for it! XD

Found these on ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TPU-GEL-C...sesPouches&hash=item2c60f2c4c5#ht_2017wt_1139

There's a load of them, different colours etc. Not sure what the quality will be like or if they will be identical to the ones available in the box. Will order one and keep everyone posted.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
I have the 'clear' one of these. Clear it is not, but it's a good snug fit. Only really differs from the OEM one by allowing access to the SIM tray, but this leaves the top unprotected.
[Nokia Lumia 800] htc12345:
I have the original Nokia in black... But who'd use such a case? Phone looks disappear immediately after putting the case on the phone :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
People who like to keep their stuff mint for resale purposes ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] htc12345:
New point if view for me. Used to being careful with phones and keeping them as spares
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
I'm careful, but it's an extra piece of mind.

The more resale £££ the better when it's time for a change, I have an old spare HTC Typhoon to tide me over if needs be.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Wodnik Szuwarek:
Only black is OK :)

Wow Thanks for that :)

Is there anything like matte cases are there ? The link consists of only glossy cases :-/
[Nokia Lumia 800] markd66:
I got myself one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TPU-GEL-JELLY-CASE-COVER-NOKIA-LUMIA-800-CLEAR-/200687703852

Covers the SIM slot and is a very good fit for the phone - especially the buttons. Also doesn't expose the Nokia badge on the back of the phone. Tried a couple off Ebay and IMO this was the best. Several different sellers have these "Wave" cases now, different colours and prices - just search for "lumia 800 gel wave"
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
I decided to buy an OEM case for mine. Figure Nokia know what's best.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
They do! The CC-1031 is much nicer than the eBay gel case.

Looks better

Nicer (less slippery) feeling

Better button access

A minor con is that there is no access to the SIM tray, but I'll take that for the added protection of having the corner covered.
[Nokia Lumia 800] apollo15rover:
Thanks for providing that Cat No! Just ordered a cyan case from MobileFun.uk..
[Nokia Lumia 800] waynefox:
I bought a Lime Green Nokia CC-1031 from Ebay.

Genuine product and looks really good on the phone

So is it me or does the Samsung Galaxy Nexus have crap specs compared to our Galaxy S2? 5MP camera Vs 8MP. Slower Processor Vs Faster Processor. Yea I know it has ICS firmware and vanilla Android but who really cares? I'm not sold! How about you?

you forget to mention the screen is actually High def, their processor might not be quick on network speed but might be better for phone operation then ours, the screen is bigger (if ya care)

To each his own I guess! Would not trade my s2 for nexus through!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] immunityx:
Nexus specs are worst then the galaxy s2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dwayner79:
I debated hard about this. If you stay stock, the nexus wins, but if you don't (99% of xda readers) then s2 wins hands down. No ext SD card was a killer for me with the nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
straight up trade i would, everyone and their mom has a Tmobile samsung galaxy S2 or a sprint or ATT skyfire, its becoming like a ****ing iphone 4 which pisses me the hell off.. i want my own thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterEdF:
Meh .... played with a Nexus for a while yesterday because I really wanted a larger screen however the Nexus screen is actually "smaller" then the T989 in the end because a big chunk of it is dedicated to the usual capacitive buttons. The "HD" does look nice though but that even makes fonts and icons smaller (but sharper) and for me I need larger. All in all not very impressive, at least not impressive enough to sell this and buy the the Intern'l Nexus. Considering that the T989 will get ICS one way or the other that's good enough for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
if you look close on our phone, u will see pixelation which bother the hell out of me, and in low brightness mode there is blob and weird artifact on the screen, which has been reported by other user, not a problem for me since i rarely go low anyway, but the fact that it's a 500-600 device kinda bother me. i really wish we could get the international GS2 for tmobile, if thats the case than i wouldnt care about galaxy nexus at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterEdF:
The reason I need a larger font/icons is because if they are too small I don't see them well. At my age vision is the 2nd thing to go. I see no pixelation even if it is there.:o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tq745:
it has nothing to do with hardware and EVERYTHING to do with software. I believe when we get CM9 running on our device it will be better then the nexus. Only complaint I have about our phone is the resolution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
it's really hard to see, you need to be next to the original galaxy S2 to see how ****ty our screen is compare to that one...

or most photographer has the eyes to see it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audscott:
I'm likely your age. But I forget....what's the first thing to go? :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Well 4.3 screen are easily best size for 800x480 I recall someone said once wvga screen are stretch beyond that point pixelization starts appearing up. The fact that it isn't super amoled plus bothers me. I don't know of you played with a droid razor but at angles the screen has a greenish tint. It is on the galaxy note as well. But it's probably much harder to see because of the screen size.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wendellc:
If the sg2 HD was available I would get that instead of nexus. The hi rez screen alone was reason enough for me to pick up the nexus. I also like the fact that its a straight up Google phone, I like to get updates first.

I'm sure 3-4 months from now sg2 HD will be released in US and shortly after sg3 will be released overseas. I will be content with the nexus until a quad comes. I stuck with nexus s and then got a g2x, only to be replaced by the nexus.

My wife has sg2 but my nexus looks better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] STi489:
I like the screen and ics only... I do want to swap it out but doubt i will... s2 is thinner, external memory......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
I think the contour display is a plus. HD screen is a plus, ICS is a plus, instant shutter is a plus, no capacitive buttons is a plus, the fact that its a vanilla is a plus. I love nexus phones and they have their cons just like any phone, just find what YOU like and leave it at that. If you don't want it, don't get it and everyone is happy

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
Nexus has better camera even though its 5 mp. The big negative is no external sd slot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jasonhunterx:
Nexus phones are all about software really they only bring a few special things to the table like not buttons HD screen software if you have GS2 theres no reason for need to upgrade but if you got then go ahead now no more waiting for carries to push updates
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aaronpaws:
Take it from someone who's owned both.

The Nexus wins hands down. If you believe otherwise, you're only fooling yourself.

I might understand the allure of the GS2 to someone who wants gobs of internal storage, but other than that. The Nexus beats the S2 in every single category.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josemedina1983:
Well is a personal opinion at the end of the day I like the T-Mo GSII but resolution isn't great and chrome Bezel scratches too easy. Now the galaxy Nexus camera is a big problem for me especially spending 600+ for a 2008 camera in 2012 and storage could be another problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Really the os makes the phone. That is pretty much it. All the fuctions you get on the galaxy nexus. If you can wait for the cm team to finish cm9 will be on the sgh-t989. Do not get me wrong ics lives up to the hype but the galaxy nexus without ics would be nothing but really a water downed galaxy s2 or galaxy note.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
I have an LTE radio, and I experience no random heat flashes.

That comes from the ****ty CDMA + LTE radios it has to have... poor Verizon, they would be ****dma. :)

Also, the OMAP4460 has dual channel memory... so that would equate to MUCH faster loading times, plus it's a Cortex A9 CPU, it's basically at the same level as the Exynos (not quite, but close).

The GPU on the other hand, is a 2007 GPU, and is ****. The Adreno 220 POUNDS it, and it actually pounds the Mali-400 too, so we do have an advantage. :)

Honestly, the only phone that will truly benefit is the i9100, full HW acceleration on the Exynos will just obliterate anything out there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j0hnZ:
I stopped by the verizon kiosk at the mall when I spotted the Galaxy Nexus. The only thing I liked about it was the Verizon network it was running on. Everything else was meh. The only thing I thought that was cool about ICS was Android Beam, and it wasn't like I could test it haha! I also liked that the interface was less green, but the interface was still not remotely consistent. I prefer the ICS theme that qazimoto or whatever his name is has in the theme section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] boomerxyz:
This is android's biggest problem: a cohesive, attractive GUI and app appearance standards. This will always be an issue with open source OS's. WebOS had a nice appearance, but everything else about it sucked. I still prefer Android os over all others, however.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
i hope ur not basing this on the megapixel...MP is just a marketing gimmick, everyone know that it's the actual glass thats count, sort of like why does apple iphone4 5mp always beat out HTC phone with the same 5MP camera, because apple actually use a better lens than HTC
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] btrav:
I'm not sure if I'm wrong here but I think instant shutter will work on the SGS2 when ICS is available. I'm aware that the hardware has a lot to do with it but I have Camera ZOOM FX installed on my SGS2 and it can snap 16 even 32 pictures in a few seconds using burst mode.

Of course once they come out with a quad core I'm definitely upgrading :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jimbo Droid:
Tmobile galaxys2 has adreno220 gpu and the 1.5ghz snapdragon cpu vs xynos 1.2ghz cpu and sgx540 on the nexus. Our galaxy has a better gpu its faster. The nexus has a bit better cpu. Gpu is more important for games.

The galaxy nexus has a Texas instrument OMAP 4460 processor. Not Exynos.

Why do people keep saying the Adreno/Snapdragon is faster than the rest? Is your only justification the GHz numbers? -_-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Pretty much thats all they do they don"t actually read and search information this forum well most don"t. Except for the few of us.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dezvous:
Couldn't agree more, can't wait to see what this phone is really capable of after we get some truly detailed roms going for this thing. Our phone should be just as capable in matching the beautiful performance of that Galaxy Nexus on a proper ICS rom.

I just got done playing with a GSN and it is a thing of beauty. So quick, beautiful interface. Cannot wait. That being said, I still think I prefer my GS2. Dedicated buttons are extremely nice and the screen still looks great. Anyone who complains about pixelization I just feel bad for you if you can't enjoy this phones screen. I can totally see it if i'm looking for it, it just doesn't bother me. I'm not *looking* for it and so I don't really see it. Plus you got expanded memory slot.

Obviously I would prefer the GSN screen, although what I'd really like to see is non-pentile 720p OLED, but it being pentile isn't a very noticeable problem in any major way. Super crisp screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xbanhcuonx:
The improvements in the GSN compared to the SGS2 aren't enough to convince me to shell out the extra $200-300+ on it. However, I don't think the HD display on the GSN looks better to the point where I would have felt justified in spending that kind of cash on it. I am very happy with the screen on my SGS2. Watching HD videos is a pleasure =]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sddale2001:
I played with the GN at Verizon and put my S2 there to compare them side by side. The text on the screen of the GN is a bit sharper but it wasn't a HUGE improvement as the S2 is pretty sharp. I ran a speed test with both phones and the Verizon network ran more than three times as fast on both down and up speeds (I didn't note the actual numbers though). I was trying to be quick because I only had 10% of my battery left.

When I checked to see which one was faster at pulling up the XDA site and links to threads it was a toss up with the GN faster sometimes and the S2 other times. I had the same result with espn.com.

I played an ESPN video and it was a bit brighter than the S2 (both set to max brightness and the S2 has a screen protector) however the picture was a little blurry on the GN. I reloaded it but it didn't help and it played for a couple of minutes but stayed blurry. There were a couple of spots where the vid got choppy on the GN and it happened on different clips which didn't happen on the S2. Also, for some reason the video was smaller on the GN in both landscape and portrait. Even though the screen is a little bigger on the GN the menu buttons use some of that space and the S2 ends up with more screen area but I don't think that's the reason the video was smaller since the buttons disappear...maybe it doesn't take advantage of the space when they disappear?

Overall it's a really nice device but I wasn't really impressed by it. If I had a choice when I got my S2 and the price were the same I would have gotten the GN since it has ICS and the screen was sharper. I've experienced some choppiness in those espn videos with the S2 so maybe it was just the network. Although it's strange that it would happen when the speed test was so much faster on Verizon. The slower T-Mobile network seemed to keep up just fine with the my type of use so I'm happy.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sddale2001:
I didn't test that however I did try to make the GN checkerboard like I get sometimes with the S2 when scrolling through some web pages as they're loading. Instead of checkerboarding it would just leave blocks blank. Personally I think it looks better like that rather than the checkerboard pattern.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
You can have the best download speed in the world but if your ping is high. Then it won't matter. I notice that tmobile ping usually stays very low range. Lte i seen has had high pings. The higher the ping the longer it takes for a web page to load.

I got to play with the GN at Verizon and I was very impressed with the phone. The screen is noticeably better to me. Very smooth UI. And ice cream sandwich is really cool. I'm actually thinking of returning my GSII and get the GN. Plus being a Google phone is nice since it gets updates faster.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jaekidd1012:
I haven't had a chance to try the GN yet (too lazy to stop into a Verizon store) but I view the GN as a lateral step from my SGSII rather than a step up overall.

No Micro SD slot effectively renders my memory cards (and their contents) useless. I like having the option to expand my memory so the SGSII wins there.

Having a higher resolution camera is better when cropping as it maintains more detail when zoomed in and I still view throwing a 5 MP camera on a phone in 2011 is a step backwards so once again, a win for the SGSII.

No comment on the virtual versus capacitive buttons since I don't know how the virtual buttons work in ICS on the GN yet so a draw here.

Both displays are large enough for me but the 720p resolution on the GN sounds nice...on paper. That being said, the WVGA resolution on my SGSII hasn't been an issue for me yet so a draw here, too, I guess.

As far as software goes, I'm anxious to try out ICS and knowing that the GN is guaranteed immediate Android updates is an automatic win for the GN.

This is all speaking from my personal tastes and preferences. I'm not knocking the GN in any way. I think it's a great device but I don't see it trumping the SGSII completely but as was mentioned on this thread already, to each, their own...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scribbles92:
Meh, the only FAIL is the fact that Google let Verizon put their grubby paws all over it now it has those 2 meaningless apps and a stupid battery cover with their God-forsaken logo on it... :mad: If I was on Vzw, I'd be pissed!! I don't think I'd give up my S2 for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jaekidd1012:
+1

Allowing Verizon to manhandle the GN defeats the entire point of a "Google Experience" phone. I see why Google did this from a business perspective as it's the only way to get more exposure (and ideally adoption) for the Galaxy Nexus in the American market. But still, the untouched Android experience was what sets the Nexus devices apart. That was fun while it lasted...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j0hnZ:
The Nexus line hasn't been a real upgrade since the first one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ronnyhawks:
Ive had both phones and the Galaxy S 2 wins hands down. The GN has a bigger screen and that's it. Its buggy as **** stock. The GS2 is smooth as butter stock with ICS. Either way both phones get rooted but the winner is the GS2. Everybody can go to sleep now :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crownua6:
I have the exact opposite opinion on your statement. I found my rooted G-nexus on JB to be much less buggy then my Rooted S2 on official ICS. In addition, the G-Nex operates much smoother and opens apps faster.

Personally though, I still prefer my trusty S2 with its superior camera and expandable memory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Been through this before lol the gnex is the better handset minus SD expansion and a slightly worse camera. The omap CPU is much faster than the s3, and the sgx powervr540 clocked at 400MHz destroys the adreno220 in t989. I can prove this as I have an epic 4g right next to me with an sgx 540 clocked at 200MHz and it scores right on par with the t989 in the antutu 3d bench. And that phone is powered by a 1ghz single core hummingbird. Add in the most stable and advanced jelly bean roms and its a no brainer for me. That's not even adding the 720p samoled :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ronnyhawks:
Nobody cares about your dollar store epic 4g. First off we aren't talking about sprint phones. We are talking about T-Mobile phones. The galaxy nexus should be a better phone but its not. The t989 beats it in every single category rooted or stock. I've had both phones stock and rooted. People don't care bow fast their GPU is they care about stability dumb@as. You go ahead and overclock your phone all day everyday for no reason. I'll sit here with my 100% stable t989 and stare at my GN that I wont use because its NOT AS GOOD OF A PHONE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
WOW someones mad lol. Put your technical inferiority back in the closet bud. This phone DOES NOT BEAT THE GNEX. Stop lying. I flash my friends gnex every week with cm9 nightlies. And no one said overclock, those are the stock clocks for the gnex.

Wow who let's idiots like this on xda?? The snapdragon s3 doesn't even have half the bandwidth that the omap 4460 does. You're an idiot. Do your homework before you open your big mouth noob.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Also to slap you with your own idiosy some more this is THE GALAXY NEXUS WERE TALKING ABOUT. Its googles lead development platform. AOSP, CM 9 and 10 and jelly bean are ALL way more stable on the gnex seeing as they've had it since the roms inception.

Lol go back in your cave, troll.
