[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Yeah I'm sure that's the reason, but it just begs to question, why?

I mean is there really some legal mumbo jumbo that says you can't buy the Nexus and resell it as part of your own service?

It's one thing - when the OEM has to specifically build a phone for the carrier, but another when it will work perfect fine. That's why I raise the issue.

I would assume the main reason is that, Samsung would be inclined to give a bigger discount with a formal contract agreement - which then allows Samsung to handle the supply chain aspect to provide the goods on their own terms. Plus they probably sold their soul to VZ for the current period saying we won't let any other carrier use it officially.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No... They'll just use the technology they're already using on all other LTE phones on AT&T, like the Skyrocket, Vivid, and half a dozen other phones launched at CES. GSM/LTE chips already exist. They don't need anything new.

The Verizon phones with new chips have CDMA/LTE for Verizon US, then GSM for world roaming. That's a new feature, and does not apply to AT&T whatsoever.

There are SIM cutters all over the internet. Its easy. Cutting a Mini SIM to a Micro (or putting a Micro in a Mini adapter) is the least of your problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
It is probably some "legal jumbo" and interests of the customer. If the device isn't officially supported by the manufacturer to sell to that carrier in bulk, then they can't fulfill the warranty as it's a "grey market."

I'm definitely not a lawyer but this would be a problem for the carrier if customers aren't able to get their warranty covered by Samsung and have to go through T-Mobile directly or something.

@martonikaj: Yeah I know it's easy to do. Was just correcting you a little bit there because a sim card isn't a microSIM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Verizon has an exclusive on carriers selling the Galaxy Nexus in the US.

T-Mo won't make nearly as much money if they were literally buying them and reselling. They need a contractual obligation with Samsung to produce phones and sell at a certain price.

Think about everything that goes into a phone launch. They need to educate sales and support staff, start a marketing campaign, setup their systems, start the supply chain management, etc. etc. etc.. They can't do all of this, and start selling phones then have Samsung run out or not fulfill orders because to Sammy, T-Mo is just another random buyer. T-Mo could be buying millions of phones over the life of its sale. Again, it REALLY isn't as easy as you think.

Some retailer or local shop could buy and resell, but T-Mobile USA can't do that.

.... anyone spending $650+ on an unlocked iPhone (or ETF-ing, jailbreaking + unlocking) and moving it to T-Mobile should be smart enough to know how to cut cardboard. Like I said, Mini vs Micro SIM isn't even a problem. They are literally the exact same except the size of the cardboard around it.

[Defy General] C41n3:
Hi,

Got into a booloop after installing 2ndInit and restaring phone (got green led all seemed ok).

Yes, I forgot to turn off debug mode before restarting, but what can I do now?

Tried reset to factory from stock recovery, didn't work.

I would like to save a nandroid of the Telcel ROM but if flashing a SBF its the only way to go, which one should I flash?

Thx.
[Defy General] LeonardoJegigzem:
AFAIK flashing is the only choice, search the sbf of your provider and flash it

Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
[Defy General] C41n3:
Hi, thx for ur help. I'm starting to look for my provider SBF (Telcel México) but got no luck.

Which one should I flash? Got a Defy+

Thx.
[Defy General] LeonardoJegigzem:
I dont know, of course you have gingerbread, maybe in your provider web you can get some info of the system that you had

Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
[Defy General] farsight73:
If you haven't done anything yet. When the blue light blink press -vol. Select system and select boot and select boot normal and reboot. It was set default boot to 2nd-init which is why you have bootloop.

[Defy General] C41n3:
Thx for ur help, but I never got the blue light blink...

I'm now testing some SBFs but can't get any radio signal (because almost all SBF I'm testing are not from my region I think).

Hope some one can give me a hand.
[Defy General] hackergnome:

[Defy General] dashiell.cano:
hey

hey friend, i also have a defy+ and the same question about a sbf flash file for telcel and y have no luck yet, if u want i can send u the nandroid backup!

cualquier duda mandame un MP, saludos.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kpkimmel:
Ok, I have much experience with everything, and this has made me so angry. I have the Sprint HTC View 4g. I cannot find where to put the sd card in the damn thing. What "back" comes off, how do you get it off? Ah, someone please tell me and then shoot me, ....in the face...

EDIT: GOT IT, MY GOD I'M GOING TO LOAD MY GUN NOW AND SHOOT MYSELF IN THE FACE, MODZ PLEASE DELETE..SORRY
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Its very tight, press hard with your thumbs in the center of the upper back cover and push up and it will pop off.

Feels like you are going to break the thing in half
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
No need to delete; aside from the fact that this has been discussed before (but not recently). Others have had difficulty with this, and may benefit from this thread.

I attached the image from the owners manual that shows where to press with your thumbs to get the cover off. I think my Flyer (Best Buy version) actually had these same instructions in a quick-start guide, or maybe even a sticker on the tablet itself. But I remember View owners commenting this was much more mysterious (even unmentioned) in their packaging. And many people would not think (at least at first) to download the full manual to find the instruction for this.

Its tricky and takes a good amount of force. But I also found it takes a little "technique" in pressing the right spot with your thumbs (pressing inward to disengage the plastic "hooks) while pushing the cover up. Its the kind of thing that takes forever and seems insanely difficult the first time you try. But once you get a feel for it, you can do it pretty easily.

Following video also shows how to remove the cover:

[Galaxy Tab General] T-Keith:
My father is not very computer literate and he has trouble doing certain tasks on his computer. I'm wondering if I should buy a used galaxy tab for him. He has not used android, but it seems to me, besides the keyboard it might actually be easier for him to use.

He mainly uses his computer for Craigslist, email and occasional websurfing. He currently has a old workstation I set up for him with ubuntu.

The main problem he has is getting the pictures off his camera and posting things to Craigslist. It may seem simple, but it is a multi step process and I'm usually not there to walk him through it.

Do you guys think the galaxy tab would be a good candidate or is there something better? It must have a decent camera with flash. Easy to read for far sightedness, good app support, and inexpensive. I'm thinking a 10" tablet would be too big to take pictures with and a phone would be too small. What is the newest android available on the tab? How is cyanogenmod support? Does it matter if it's a wifi version or GSM or cdma?

Sorry for the long post, thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab General] kvswim:
If he's helpless with technology, just get him an iPad.

God, I feel dirty saying that.
[Galaxy Tab General] Prodigy:
If an android, maybe a cheaper alternative like Acer aconia its pretty much the same build quality but cheaper, galaxy tab is pretty expensive might as well get an iPad like ^^ he said.

My sister has an iPad and it is epic, best pad I ever used.
[Galaxy Tab General] T-Keith:
Looks like there are used galaxy tabs for under 150 on Ebay. Ipad 1 doesn't have a camera and Ipad 2 is $500. Not an option.

Isn't this an Android forum? :-P
[Galaxy Tab General] kvswim:
Yes, but let's face it-if I were to choose a pad for someone who sucks with technology I would pick the iPad - less things you can mess up, easier to use, etc. Android is for people who (mostly) know what they're doing.
[Galaxy Tab General] rkmj:
Since you are looking for something that is reasonably priced, (which the iPad and most higher-end Android tablets are not,) and smaller, a used Galaxy Tab would be a decent option. There are Craigslist apps in the market, although none of them are "official." Despite their unofficial nature, a few of them have 1,000,000+ downloads and 4.5 star ratings. If he only needs a device for checking email, browsing, taking pictures, and posting to Craigslist, the OG Galaxy Tab would probably be your best bet.

There is a bit of a learning curve for the technically-illiterate, but I'm sure he can adjust, and it would be a lot easier for him to remember the process on the Tab than it would be to remember how to take the picture, import it to his computer, and then go through the steps of posting.

In this case, I do speak from experience. My parents were dragged away from their dumbphones into the Android ecosystem, and after a surprisingly short period of adjustment, they have become devoted Android fans. For your purposes, my advice would be to go for it. I hope this info helps and good luck.
[Galaxy Tab General] amace04:
Pretty much not more to be said here.

Android is for people who are comfortable with computers and technology. If he's good with fiddling around to solve his problems, then it's a good tab. If he gets confused when his wifi isn't connecting to the home network, then don't get him a gtab.
[Galaxy Tab General] alexgogan:
Must admit never had that issue. I have the P1010 teathered to the phone. When get home just tour off the hotspot and instantly on wifi. Hehehe probably the only advantage of this device.
[Galaxy Tab General] dfvt:
I would recommend an ipad. IOS is simple to use. Android is a little bit difficult.
[Galaxy Tab General] julie.m23:
Disagree with most of you here then

Yes Yes Yes

If he's not a "fiddler" then these are bloody ideal.

I can do an Ebay ad in seconds including the pic using the Ebay App.

It makes all the difference to me cos that's what I need it to do.

I can take loads of pics & easily pick the right one for an ad.

Just beg, borrow, steal one and have a try - much simpler than phone or pc - WANT THAT ONE, PRESS THAT ONE, ITS ON

Email ? Press email

Google ? Press google

Dock mode issue

I've been using this ROM for a couple days and it's rock solid! I have noticed though, like many other new ROMs based off the latest build, in dock mode, when trying to change the settings in dock mode, the phone locks up and you have to remove the battery to reboot. the only 605.9 build I've seen where this wasn't a problem is GingerBreaton 1.1

Other than that, it's been kick ass!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] simp dogg:
I noticed the lock up too, I really like using dockmode too. I just hold down volume up/down and hold down power to reboot.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] cfrid34:
Thanks for the info on the reboot. Yeah, I don't know why, but of all the 605.9 ROM's I've tried, only Gingerbreaton 1.1 seems to have cracked the code on dock mode! :)

[Thunderbolt Android Development] LBJM:
I want to thank you guys for making this ROM!!!!!!

I've been testing this release (1.1) since it came out. It is more stable than Killasense with no app compatibility like I had with gingerbreaton. It is rock solid! I just finished a 156 hour(6.5 days) stability test with Ziggy's kernel and everything worked flawless no crashes or reboots. I originally planned to only do a 125 hour test but I decided to drain the battery I was using.

Now I have a hard choice to make as to which kernel I should use Imoseyon's or Ziggy's. I hope you guys get a rezound it's like a TB with upgrades and a GSM radio.

Is there a way to fix that ? Otherwise I'm going back to stock.

I tried JD on this phone last couple of days. Just uninstalled it, causing too many issues I never had before.
