Rumors that Tmo is rethinking the update for ICS on the Vibrant

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/12/samsung-rethinking-decision-for-galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrade-due-to-customer-response/
[Vibrant General] dE.fUsEd:
Who uses stock roms any ways. :o
[Vibrant General] sneakysnake16:
Me ;)
[Vibrant General] Kastro1784:
I hope its true Though just got my vibrant
[Vibrant General] Mdtolic:
I want to see an official ICS on my Vibrant for a few reasons. So keep the comments to Sammy going folks. Don't let an announcement like this go out without voicing your support for it.

Sammy on G+ (with Facebook, YT & Twitter links)
[Vibrant General] djf8:
Samsung is rethinking the update not T-Mobile...... If we didn't get an official gingerbread update we most likely won't get an ice cream sandwich update. It will most likely only be going to the original galaxy tab and the I9000 if any.
[Vibrant General] mike_ekim:
Developers have to start with something. Why not start with a ROM intended for a particular device with all features working, like e911?

Per this article and other, similar articles, Samsung is reconsidering. Not T-Mobile. The difference is, Samsung may roll out ICS for Galaxy S on other carriers and not T-Mobile, just like GB. Hopefully Samsung will atleast throw us a bone via Kies some day.
[Vibrant General] RoxAbout:
Squeek those wheels!

Yes the article sounds good but!, like someone above posted "tmobile [or samsung] hasnt rolled out gingerbread for the vibrant YET" !!

We need to up the pressure on both tmobile and samsung they cant afford to loose "millions of users over a dumb update" !

An thats what they are worried about!

So do what I do to every inane tweet by either tmobile or samsung retweet while working in the words > "...gingerbread for the vibrant..#shameonsamsung #boycottsamsung.."

Can I make a difference alone? no But Millions of us can!

Give them hell!

p.s. This is also the same for the pathetic excuse the cyanogenmod team came out with for them stopping support for the vibrant ie the 911 problem. The 911 problem was that way from day one with cm roms so cut the bs! The truth for the cm rom team is they got pissed off by someone and decided to screw all of us vibrant people over for the crap from one person!

yes different excuses but same results were getting screwed!

I most assuredly support cm rom team and all of the other developers on XDA but what happened to the team spirit? Come on guys post a disclaimer about the 911 and get back on the updates!

PLEASE!
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
No hope for us vibrant users. They are talking about international galaxy S, and probably US carrier versions that officially got gingerbread.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Ya this won't happen for the vibrant tmo doesn't even carry it anymore, they already have are money we had to ***** to even get froyo that had to be installed via kies mini. If one of the other us variants gets ics that would be are best bet, then again it won't be a easy port it never is.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I'm sure we will not get an official ICS from T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
dont be so down guys, theres always a chance
[Vibrant General] helikido:
Thats what we said about gingerbread ^
[Vibrant General] Exel:
Yeah, Rider.. that's also what you said about getting laid, but.. here you are. ;D
[Vibrant General] Se7eN43:
i'm sure samsung said this just to keep all the outcry to a minimum as possible. delay, delay, delay until the people give up and move on. it only makes sense to release a non carrier aosp version rather than figure out how to shrink touchwiz being that this is mainly targeting the tech savviests out there.

so if any of you haven't yet, sign it! show samsung we care and want them to improve.

we might need to start our own petition.

this is for the i9000, but hey it's close enough

[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Oooh burn.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
:( WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

thats for i9000, you know that, but i don't think us signing it will actually do any benefit for US... i signed it anyways.
[Vibrant General] d[-_-]b:
Yeah the same chances as us winning the lottery...
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Why do people give in so easily?

I admit Vibrant will probably never get an official Gingerbread or ICS update. Samsung is certain to skip us if they update international Galaxy S to ICS. That doesn't mean we should throw in the towel. Tweet them, who knows we might end up getting an update to either 2.3 or 4.0.

Make your voice heard.

Wooooooooooooooooops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
So, this christmas was probably as close to normal usage without a charger as possible. I didn't spend hours playing with the phone, nor plug it into a charger every 2 hours because I was always out. I did show a few people my 'brand new google phone' and play a couple of games to kill 5 mins here and there.

Phone calls were short, but there were many of them, and all my syncing was on. I'm going to post as much info and all the screenshots here so you get a complete picture.

Anything I missed let me know. My conclusion here is that this particular rom, or combination of settings really decrease power usage on standby. Of course the screen still sucks loads of power, but in this example almost 2 hours of screen use resulted in 46 hours of battery life. Its reasonable to assume that with these settings 3 or 4 hours would still manage 24 hours. What do you guys thing?

Rom - Modaco Ir8 with UV kernel

UV settings:

1200MHz:1150mV

920MHz:1050mV

You beat me to it. My usages were almost the same. 1 Day 21Hrs and 46% left, little less screen time than you had.

:eek:

My AOS usages have been down the past few days and I have no idea why, saving the most battery from that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
That's pretty much average battery life for any ROM/Kernel combination on the GSM (maguro) Nexus. Idle drain is absolutely fantastic on this device. If the phone is left idle, it barely loses 1% an hour. Looking at your stats, nearly all of the time spent off charger the phone was idle. Your screen on time of 1hr 46m isn't much. The real shock would have been to have seen that time off charger and around 4 hours of screen time!

Still, I think the LTE US users are gonna look at those stats with envy!!

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Idle is better than that for me. 1% every 2-3 hours. I goto bed and only lose 2-3%. A heavy night might be 4% lost. Lol. I need a stock kernel with just uv and oc'ed gpu so it will get better for me. I ran my battery down completely last night and was 22h/5h. 5 hours display. Booyah. I am running 4.0.2 stock and rooted with UGKL7 radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
i got 3 days on my original handset during...normal ish use...was rather please with that, a day better than my N900 was
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmolloy:
I was happy with my 1 day and 8 hours 34 minutes and 46 seconds. over the same time period. I would say I used the phone pretty heavily over that time frame so I am really happy with these results. My phone is stock yakju running on AT&T's network.

I was connected to wifi about 90% of the time. 2 gmail accounts, one twitter account and 1 G+ account syncing. I downloaded several apps on wifi and 1 on 3G as well as watched about 5 you tube videos. The screen was set to auto, and I used the phone outside at max brightness for about an hour during which I took about 20 pictures and shot 30 seconds of video at 720p. I also did a great deal of chatting on Google Talk, sent a few text messages and talked for about 20-30 minutes total.

I'm stock right now and am pretty sure I can go 30 hours with just regular usage (calls / texts/ facebook). At first the battery life was really ****ty but it seems to be getting better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
WTF is wrong with Verizon and LTE? I can barely get 10-12hrs of light use.

Ur a cutie .....ya the phone that's terrible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stopswitch:
I am at 10hours with 73% left. LTE is always on, auto brightness, no wifi, syncing 3email accounts. I am running the stock ROM with 4.0.3 radio files. I am getting killer battery times with this new radio leak. My screen on time is 1hr.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
Did you try deleting your battery stats and re-calibrate it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
And yesterday bizarly 17h 47m, 6s and down to 13% with only 1h 35m screen type. I did use skype for a long type tho.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fiveoh:
I haven't pulled the exact stats for my phone yet, but coming form my old HTC Incredible, this phone's battery life is outstanding. I can easily make it through a whole day without worrying about a charger, but my incredible has conditioned me to keeping one around all the time. I do have tasker set to disable somethings at night as well as an undervolted kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheyse:
LTE is gonna eat up your battery if you leave it on all the time. I only use it when downloading something and then I switch it off. No need to have twitter and Gmail syncing in the background with 4g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alekxxx:
I got aprox 44h with 4.5h of screen time stock 4.0.3 kk6 radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sti-06:
lol.

You guys are using the phone with Edge speeds. If I were to turn off LTE and use edge not touch the phone other than requirements (txt and calls) I will have the same results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xominous:
I have similar stats to the OP and I have the LTE version. I'll post screens and numbers later.

EDIT: Posted screenshots. Obviously fairly light usage over two days.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_smooth:
I'm close to pulling the trigger on buying a new note but I'm concerned it is too big to work out with.

I'm no Ironman, but I run a few miles 3 days a week and I really like streaming Pandora through my bluetooth headphones while recording my performance with Sports Tracker Pro + Zephyr Heart Rate Monitor.

I've seen a few threads discussing arm pouches and the aquapac. Does anybody here actually strap the note to their body for road running? Does it work ok?

So far the note looks like a great device for me, I don't care about games and I don't care what other people think. Screen real estate and usability are king for me but I would hate to give up my Android workouts.

I'm going to a running gear shop later this week to see what kind of pouches they have.

http://www.sportstracklive.com/user/DavidSmoot for an example of what I am talking about.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqrt:
Personally it is too big for me . . I have a feeling the velcro would drop as you run as the phone is almost 200grams. i have the note and im thinking of buying or trading for a smaller phone / mp3 player for exercising
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
When the time comes (it's too cold outside) and i start jogging again, i won't take this beast with me :p I'll probably buy a Wildfire S or something small and use that when i'm out sweating and falling down mountains.

But i guess it could work with the Note, but it's really really big for that task. You'll end up with a huge arm! :p But just try it and see how it goes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron J:
I run with it

I do, and have run with the Note. It not that too bad compared to my Atrix 4G. The first time I ran with it, I actually just held it in my hand the whole time, which is what I always did with my Atrix. It wasn't that uncomfortable and I don't have giant hands.

I tried looking for armbands that could hold the Note but was unable to find anything worth while. So this last time I ran I ended up jerry rigging an old CD player workout fanny pack into a makeshift armband for the Note.

It sounds terrible but the end result doesn't look bad at all and its pretty comfortable all things considered. I ran with it like that last night for a short 25 minute run and it was fine didn't slip much and because the pouch was orginally for a CD player the velcro flap was more than strong enough to hold the phone securely.

The Note is awesome for running thanks to its super fast and accurate GPS and giant battery.

I'll try to post some pictures of my setup when I get home.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaig:
I do almost every day. When I run at a slower pace I keep it halfway inserted in a tights pocket at waist line. This way it doesn't get cold.

For faster runs (intervals) I keep it in a pocket inside a running belt (also inside my jacket so it doesn't get cold).

The only problem is that GPS accuracy (even under free sky) is not that good when not using it for car navigation (where track is corrected to keep you on streets). I may run in a straight line but points are scattered left and right so real time speed accuracy is quite bad because now it says I'm running at 12mph 5 secs later it says I run at 5mph. While my speed is constant at about 6.5mph.

Size is not an issue but accuracy is so I will probably get a Garmin watch for running. I'm quite disappointed with that :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
I run for the train every day. I always have my note on me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YFY:
I use a waist belt pouch which holds the G Note quite well.

Besides the clip onto the belt there is another flap which will clip pouch on better.

Only problem is one has to wear a belt during the run, which some do not wear.

(Picture of pouch is enclosed below):

I "wear" mine in a Arm Pouch whilst running and throughout my workout in the Gym with no problems.

I do have to reposition it during some arm exercises.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
I use Endomondo when I go running. Before I got my armband, I put it in a small pouch and then in my pocket just in case any sweat got in it. Now on my arm I don't need a pouch. But yeah, I guess it would be too big if you were wearing spandex with pockets! Other than that, it's great.

Cases have one, big disadvantage... It wipes a "chrome" frame from our Ace.

That's because the frame isn't actually chrome, but it's made of plastic.

Sad but true.

But it's better to have a case and protect our Ace.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] Idrito:
Im with you man,is better to protect it and dont have a big scratch.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] LeonardLuangga:
doesn't the pattern will leave marks?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] Taracair:
It won't leave any marks, but it will wipe silver frame, because it's made of plastic.

Sooner or later it will happen without using any case.

By the way:

Case has special buttons inside it, so it's not a problem to push Ace's buttons.

As a "perk", I receive a 25% discount on our sprint family plan, since my company uses a lot of Sprint phones as company phones. Looks like starting in feb, they are going to change the family plan discount to only the primary line on the plan, not all phones. While this will only change my out of pocket costs by about $5/month, I'm curious if this can be used to get out of my contract early (I have about a year left). Lately sprint QoS has been lacking (dropped calls, unable to make/receive calls, no data, no texting, etc), and I've called Sprint a few times regarding this. I'd like to make a switch to another carrier, but I'm not sure if sprint changing a discount would give me a way out, like if an additional charge was placed on the bill, due to a tax, or some other fee.

http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/12/sprint-to-cut-back-discounts-on-family-plans.html
[HTC EVO 3D] h2o-pr00f:
I was hoping to find if this gives us a way out as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I've heard it will but it is just a matter of talking to the right person probably
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
Funny. I was able to get my contact on a month to month due to their last TOS	change. I should cancel completely, re-sign with new phones, then cancel again in February due to the new change. Then just sell all the phones on Ebay (or here)

Then go to t-mobile. I haven't made it to 2 gigs of data in a single month with sprint at all this year. Actually, I don't think I have at all given their crap speeds.

For real though, when I first signed up with sprint all I could do was talk up their value. All the changes this year have changed my opinion when people ask. I now tell people just to go prepaid or T-Mobile. I haven't left sprint just yet, but I'm inching towards that door.
[HTC EVO 3D] twiztidninja:
im sure it says in the contract that discounts are a privlage and not a right to have i doubt u can get out of it etf free cause u prolly agreed to pay the full amount in the contract just flash the verizon prl and enjoy good service till they cancle you

[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
do you have to cancel all your lines? or can you simply cut off a one of the family lines?
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
As I understand it, with Sprint when you manage to find a way out of ETF they don't make you cancel your service, they just null your contract and leave you on a month to month. So you can take advantage of one these opportunities, and sit on it until/if they piss you off enough to leave them.

if they do really let you get off contract and still stay month to month that would be awesome as I want to do just that. anyone do this before?
