[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonio1475:
Hi! I'm moving to WP7 soon, when my ordered HD7 comes home. While I wait, I was wondering if you can enable WiFi while in airplane mode.

University->Signal inhibitors -> I don't want the phone looking for signal all day draining battery, but I use Wifi.

I come from Android so I use this almost everyday.

Oh, and if you can say too, I was wondering what happens when Microsoft rolls out an update: do all the phones get updated soon or it depends on the phone maker to update or not (like Android)?

Thank you very much.

:)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamelot.sk:
You can use wifi in airplane, but you have to turn it on manually, because after switching to airplane mode all connections are turned off.

And update is not at the same time for all WP7 phones.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonio1475:
Ok, thank you very much. Couldn't find any info about it. Perfect :)

Can you give me some light about the updates policy?

:)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamelot.sk:
When update for your phone will be available, you'll be notified (directly by phone, unless you have turned off update checking in settings). Then you will connect the phone to the PC and Zune (you must install it on your computer) will do all the work (backup and update) :)

Latest official version of WP7 update you can check at WP Update History page.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonio1475:
Thank you very much for your fast and concrete replies. I hope I'll have a great time in this forum section from now on.

:)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamelot.sk:
You are welcome and enjoy your new WP7 phone! :)

i did not want to open a new thread so here are some excitment news that i have written in the third page of this thread:

"well i gues it will be easy for me not to buy a samsung phone ever again.

motorola and intel sign on a long term agreement and medfield really kicking ARM a** at least in the few benchmarks that were published and with lower consumption according to the benchmarks.

so my next phone will be a motorola phone with intel inside it.

goodbye samsung and yours sh*tty support.

i hope many of you will do the same as me. show them the power of the customers. i hope samsung will lose all their customers to motorola!!!!!!!!!!!"

original post:

not only they don't release the drivers to help developers like onecosmic and cyanogen, they stop their support on a phone who sold millions of units world wide.

i have this phone only for a year, and 2.3 is the last version i'll get.

but maybe we need to blame google because other company also dropping their support after a year.

maybe it is time to consider microsoft and intel combination. if they are doing such a great work on pc, and intel is about to release their cpu for mobiles, that combination will kick android a** i hope. i can't believe that this is the last update i will get, i have 2.3 for months, i dont care about crappy face recognitaion in 2.3.6 i want hardware acceleration.

i am staring to hate android. open source is great, until you are not getting anymore updates maybe the middle between android open source and ios is the answer like microsoft.

microsoft bring us directx games to cell phones and i am leaving crappy android today.

If you think you're going to be better off with a Windows Phone, think twice:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st379:
you dont care they dont release anymore update to a phone you recently buy and capable to run ics?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _breez_:
fact is, Samsung is a company that is only interesed in your money, just like all other companies out there. They're not a charity organisation. They want you to buy their phones.

the SGS has gotten 2 major firmware updates. eclair to froyo and froyo to gingerbread. There's not alot of phones out there that have gotten the same luck.

Of course it would be nice to receive an ICS updates but frankly i don't care. There's already a good working unofficial ICS rom and official Gingerbread rom does it's job more than pleasant.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satoto01:
I would say it's your loss since samsung always make better phone with better price compare to apple made in china trash. I know the software is not too good buy you have plenty developers here that can help the phone runs better. If you want ics just used one cosmics rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ah-Wing:
Do tell me where I get support for my original iPhone (2g) so I can up date the thing to v4 or even v5 iOS. :rolleyes:

At the end of the day the SGS is near 2 years old and seeing as the SGS3 is around the corner I would consider the SGS old!

Anycase there is a ICS ROM for the SGS, just used that and be happy!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st379:
onecosmic and cyanogen can not fix the camera and other minor things without the drivers from samsung and i have 2.3 almost 6 months. so no i dont consider one year of updates to be that good. you want your phone, to be updated for a year and then throwit to the garbage?.

one year of updates for a phone who sold millions world wide is not enough and because of people like you it will coninue.

i tried 20 different roms so dont try to sell me that i can try onecosmic rom. the camera and other minor things not working correctly i am on cyanogen mod and i am ont happy with the camera and the battery life, tv out is not working and other minor bugs.

edit: not that i have any bad things to say about onecosmic and cm7 developers i know it is not their fault, they dont have the drivers. so thanks to all the developers out there for their best efforts.

It's funny how people count the Eclair to Froyo update as a point for Samsung when the phone was released after Froyo came out, Samsung was just damn late.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luiwammes:
I really don't understand why Samsung says SGS is not capable of running ICS, while it is. I wouldn't go as far as not buying Samsung anymore, but I do think the reason given is BS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S0ci0:
Fyi, they're not saying it cant run ics, they're saying it cant run ICS with TouchWiz.

This is exactly why I sold my Sgs 6 months ago!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyberdyne systems:
To be honest i'd be happy with a good Gingerbread (stock), I don't think it's been as good as the last Froyo 2.2.1 update, which suddenly made the phone work properly.

I think its a shame that there isn't at least a two year life span (a lot of phone contracts are 24 months) in terms of updates, but I also understand this technology is probably one of the fastest moving.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .Slane.:
Samsung didn't design ALL components in the SGS, they have bought many from THIRD party (like audio part from Wolfson, etc. etc.). You have open source drivers for SOME devices and many of chip-makers sell Chips + Closed drivers with limited support. It's not the Samsung's fault if they don't want release drivers, Samsung use only BINARY drivers for some devices ! Blame some *****ng chip-maker firms. I used to fight a lot with Adaptec to have some source code to make working some $500 Hardware Raid card for FreeBSD some years ago, many chip-maker are VERY reluctant to give drivers code, and it's not a new story in Linux world.

Windows and Intel will make better ? Are you serious or just blind ? Why Vista was so "unstable" in his debut ? Drivers, Drivers and Drivers.. like Android. iOS ? Another joke ? Apple use ONE hardware and chip-makers are forced to give the code (or they're excluded from Apple, so they give all Apple want), iPhone is a very well sell and Apple is one of the richest firm in the world, chip-makers aren't totally stupid if they want to sell million and million of their chips.

And for your information : First ROM for SGS are build in March 2010, latest is Dec 2011, what a poor support..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me_ashman:
I can see Samsung absolutely ****ting themselves reading the op. Dumb thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invernomuto1976:
This is, IMHO, the main Android drawback.

Android is not really "open". It's a marketing hype.

Producers like Samsung make heavy "modifications" to their phones and do not relase their drivers.

We're lucky that SGS has an hardware similar to the Nexus S, otherwise I doubt we could have a stable ICS porting for our phone.

My next phone, if I'll chose again Android, will be a Google Experience One.

Bye.
[General Questions and Answers] droiduser2012:
Hello everyone,

I'm researching into which text messaging app works the best with the Droid 3. Currently using the Stock Text app. I have used the Go SMS Pro, but felt like it lagged my phone.

Which app would you guys recommend? Handcent or Go SMS Pro?

Pros & Cons? And which uses less memory?

Thanks! :)

I ordered this mercury lime green case from ebay for USD 9.99, haven't received it yet, but should arrive may be monday or tuesday, whiles i'm waiting for that, i just picked up 6 tpu case from shenzhen today, just the same as the one i ordered from ebay, the store says it's real, but i wont comment on it, all i can say is the mercury brand is korean, but they are still made in china, and these that i got from china are identical, and of high quality, i've checked everyone of them.

Here are some photo of the actual item, i've taken photo of the yellow cases as it shows up better, all photo is with the GSM model, with extended battery and cover.

All covers are glittered

All for USD 2.60 each

Thanks to Evil Jimmy for this detailed video

I won't comment on the quality, these photo speaks for themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frank21cn:
that's SGP.

i rekcon it is the best on the market, with a reasonable price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
it's Mercury

Just received my Mercury lime green case at my office sent from a korean seller from Ebay, how can is say it, it's identical to the one's i got at China, shenzhen.

ebay USD 9.99

China USD 2.60
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manningfan10:
Anyone know if this will fit the CDMA version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
if your are using the standard battery, it should be ok, the gsm version with the extended battery and cover is little thicker than the cdma version, so it should fit.

can't comment on cdma with extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
Just to let you guys know, I have just received 3 of these cases, and will do a video review tomorrow evening, with both the standard gsm battery and extended!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Topplayer2g:
looking forward to it

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cingkrab:
Any difference between the standard and the extended battery in the amount the lip of the case protrudes over the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
no differences at all.

@evil jimmy, would you like me to link your video in the first post in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
Hi

I may be taking orders for this case from 1/2/2012. The case will be charged USD 6 (USD 2.60 for item + the rest for shipping cost) if anyone is interested, this includes the item and registered post with tracking number.

I will be going to china shenzhen on the 6 or 7 of feb, so if anyone is interested please let me know, this is a one time deal only, and will not do a second time.

I'm sorry that payment must be made upfront and is non refundable unless the item is out of stock, increase in price alot or cancel before item is purchased, as i cannot afford to have evryone cancel their order once the item is purchased.

you can pm me upfront if interested, but payment will start on the 1st if all goes well.

I make nothing from this, just helping people out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
I cannot see any noticeable difference :)

Sure! Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
I posted this question in the case sticky but thought it might be better posted here. Will this case interfere with my zagg screen protector? By 'interfere' I mean do you think it will cause it to peel up on the sides?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
the case covers the rim of the phone only, and does not reach the glass area, if so it's very very minor, i'm sure the zagg shield doesn't reach the rim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
Sorry! I wasn't sure who the question was aimed at! I haven't seen a zagg protector, but it hasn't peeled the protector I have on off. If you are worried, I would suggest taking your time putting the case on, making sure the edges don't catch it. The case isn't super tight so you should be okay!

Hope this helps! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
Thanks Jimmy! That helped a lot! I have the Verizon Nexus and wonder if this case will fit it. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
I reckon with the standard battery you should be okay, the fit was great with the gsm extended, so you should be safe.

Not sure how well it will fit with the extended though! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
I have the standard so I guess I am going to order one (maybe 2) of these! I love the color options and the lack of bulk. Thanks for the review!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
No problem! Hope it fits! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
Here's a pic showing the sparkle ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
I ordered 2...the purple and lime green. How long does it take to get these?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
it depends on where you ordered the item from, and which country the item will be sent to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
I got them from ebay and I believe it is coming from Korea. I live in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
do you have the sellers name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
supermom28
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I haven't used them, but if they ship quickly, you should get it in 3-4 day, if not just over a week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
the seller who sent my case from ebay, i received it in 1 week, but gmarket i got my battery in 2 day and a leather case just over a week, because the item was on pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
these are great cases,

picked up a blue one on ebay.

just wish it didnt glitter in direct light
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hulud:
This is even better than the SGP Ultra Capsule. It have the cutouts at the power button and volume rocker switch which imho way, way better than the SGP ones. I owned the SGP one and i am very very disappointed at how it fits my GN as it 'bowed' at the volume rocker switch and power buttons. I've thrown the crappy SGP ones and i am currently using this. For those with extended batteries, it does fit the phone well, though the back buldge a bit compared to the standard batteries. Overall i am impressed with this case and yes i bought it from eBay from seller supermom28.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
the photo's in the first post are actually my unit, and as stated is with the extended battery and cover.:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissyO:
I ordered mine from supermom28 on the 20th and it just shipped yesterday. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al2x:
I just bought a Yellow glitter case, thanks for sending me the seller's name.

I know these probably fit the LTE Nexus with the standard battery on, does it fit with the extended battery? Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hulud:
Really? that long? i ordered on the 14th Jan and it shipped on 17th Jan and i got it a few hours before i did that post. It could be that it's the holiday season there in South Korea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
when you get yours, may be you can comment on it, i'm sure many verizon owner will want to know.

I have the GSM with extended battery. so I cant comment on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
As previously mentioned, it's holiday season until the 30th I believe!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
Super bump!

After my Neo Hybrid started sagging, I was on the hunt for a new case. I was looking at the SGP Ultra Hybrid but it doesn't fit the extended battery correctly (GSM) so I was learning towards the Ultra Capsule. Luckily, I found this thread and picked a Mercury case up instead.

Not only does it cost less quite a bit less, but it also cut out the button holes as well. There's no reason not to get this over the Ultra Capsule I say. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al2x:
As a quick update while this thread is bumped:

As an LTE Nexus owner, the case fits OKAY, definitely not as good as a case made for the LTE variant. It doesn't fit over the edges that great, and the cutouts for the buttons feel as if they are too far up and not well centered. As for as the looks though, this case (I have mine in yellow) is gorgeous.

With an extended battery, forget about it. The back door will not fit on with the case, and even without the backdoor on, it still doesn't fit that well at the edges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SeauxCrazy:
I ordered from here Mercury Cases and with free shipping, I got it in about a week.

I'm a CDMA Sprint Nexus owner and while the case doesn't fit "perfect", with a little adjusting and letting the case sit on the phone, its gotten better. All of the edges snap over the edge of the phone and now looks like it fits as close to perfect as I'm gonna get. Thought about leaving it in a hot car for a few hours this weekend to see if I can get it to fit better.

I bought White/Cyan and the quality is awesome, right side cutouts line up perfect, volume rocker is SLIGHTLY off, but doesn't hinder the buttons at all. I'll post pics if people are interested.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrZEUS:
Just received three of these cases (took exactly 1 week to get to Canada from Korea). I ordered 1 blue, 1 red and 1 black case.

It's only the first day I got them, but I must say, these cases are simply great. The fit is bang on perfect and the look and finish is very appealing. Quality is superb and I really like the cut-outs for the power button and volume rocker.

Only minor problem is it fingerprints easily and is a tad bit slippery. No biggie.

Best case I have owned on any phone thus far! I will definitely be going Mercury again, and may even order some more colours (should have got the lime now that I think of it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
This case are good, but it will depend on what phone you use, i've hear that some people dont like these case on their note, to keep the phone slim line, some parts of the case are made thin, so making it not a perfect fit near the corner and volume area.

But overall, it's a very good case and I interchange the colour time to time with red, lime, yellow, pink and in conjunction with my alpina leather wallet (listed in my sig.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breezer23:
Just got mine. The yellow is awesome - it really pops! I have the Verizon Nexus and with out the extended battery it fits okay. It fits like a glove of you take the battery cover off.
