[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I've noticed that the Epic Touch has allowed that from the start. I wonder if the contract between Sprint and those companies to keep them as system apps ended and now they can make them optional (much to their customers' joy.)
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Then my phone must be top of the line because my gps works great, but only outside, which I've grown accustomed to lol.

[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:
Android central said the ota is out today so how exactly does this work? They update by region our state or random. Just curious.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
If its like ei22 it will reach everyone over the next 7 days or so very slim ammount will receive it today around 10% or something....
[Epic 4G General] bender beerman:
anyone hear anything about a new modem with the ota? id be willing to odin back from cm7 if so...
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
If they name the release, they include a modem with it. The question is will it be a delta from only EI22?
[Epic 4G General] bender beerman:
yes, that's why i was asking about a "new" modem :) thanks kenny
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yea!!! ...Grandma .. put your bra back on. :/
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Of course it is only going to be a delta. Saves tons of bandwidth.

The real question is will the delta be more than just a version change like we have seen in the past. Even if it is I know we will have people saying they get slower or faster speeds with it. Just like they do with the PRLs. :)
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No I meant a delta from only EI22 or will it be able to flash. From EC05 too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Frooty:
I bought my Prime a week ago and the only problem I've had with it was that it kept locking up and rebooting. No screen problems at all.

Just now I placed it on my bed and it slid off and fell on the ground which is about a 2 - 2.5 foot drop. After that, it seems like my screen is broken. When I press the power button, nothing happens. If I press where I think my screen lock is at and try to unlock it, I hear the unlocking sound. I also hear a sound when I click where my notification tray is at. Even rebooting(by holding the power button and guessing where the "Ok" button is at) doesn't do anything, I don't even see the boot images.

So it seems like my screen is broken. My question is has this happened to anyone else? Where you able to fix it or did you have to send it in? If you sent it in, did you send it to Asus or return it to where you bought it from?

I did some research and found out. 901 works better but if I'm on.893 running liberty how can I get. 901 what would I need to do and where can I get the update
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
Check the topic I posted a few dsys back there is a dl link and you just flash via stock recovery
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Th3demolitionman:
Thanks, I downloaded the file and put it on my sd card..but what im curious about is it ok to go into recovery and install the zip even though im not on the stock rom... im currently on .893 and running liberty.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
I was on stock flashed fone I bekieve you have to forever root and then fladh ROM other wise you will lose root not sure havent rooted this phone lil. Scared :/
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dan46n2:
You're going to want to go back to stock using the pathsaver method before doing the update.

Any and everything you do on your phone is recorded amd sent to a 3rd party company to see it all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lee714:
got it! Glad to know. So some roms have it remove, in which most cases is a good thing I'm guessing? And Sprint wouldnt care?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Considering Sprint has instructed all manufacturers to remove Carrier IQ from Sprint phones, I doubt they would care. In fact, there is about to be an OTA update for the E4GT, EL29, that doesn't have Carrier IQ and that comes directly from Samsung/Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
are you sure it's EL29 that's going to be pushed? I know that was the last update we saw, but has there actually been any announcement?

I don't know what will be the difference from the ICS firmware update and this new firmware update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] colbyb25:

[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to resize a boot animation for the A2? It's a pretty awesome boot anim :). Here's a video of it on a Toshiba Thrive.

Here's the file: View attachment 862554 if you want to take a crack at it.

Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kirkgbr:
Just curious and maybe I'm not understanding, but why does it need to be resized?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Because most boot animations are not going to have the same resolution that the A2 needs, and I'm not quite sure what would happen if an incorrectly sized boot animation was put on the A2, but it would probably either not fill the whole screen or be very pixelated.

However, luckily I just learned that the A4G and A2 have the same screen resolution... so the boot animation I posted works fine.

now i can get a sub £200 7" android 3.0 tablet, 1ghz, 8gb ram, wifi, mini usb, hdmi, 3g, microsd

or i can go £200 10.1", android 2.3, 1ghz, 8gb ram, wifi, mini usb, hdmi, 3g, microsd

now, should i go smaller screen, v3 android, or v2 larger screen...

...can (if the hardware supports it) v2.3 be updated to v3.0 later?

[Galaxy S II General] barondebxl:
Guys I need your help. I'm not sure what I should do but the galaxy nexus looks really good to me. Now I know the Galaxy s 2 that we have is pure BEAST, in fact as far as the internal go it's better than the galaxy nexus. But i do like the 720p screen on the nexus, the no capacitive buttons and the bigger screen and of course Ice Cream Sandwich bare naked. So should I get the nexus or should I wait for ICS on the S2 and get the s3 later?
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
Wait for those A15 cores.

$1 gets you a reply
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
The 720p screen is Pentile. While it has a lesser effect at higher pixel densities (I have seen the Galaxy Note and it's way better than my friend's SGS1), it's still noticeable. Like the guy above said, wait for the A15-equipped phones.
[Galaxy S II General] leoni1980:
I would love to buy a pure Google phone but they always seem to be six months behind Samsung's Touchwiz devices. It seems that in order to stay bleeding edge you have to make do with Touchwiz. The Galaxy Nexus isn't of BAD spec; but the pentile screen tech and camera and lack of expandable memory makes it a no-go for me. The Galaxy S3 will completely destroy it. I just hope for a more solid construction that doesn't scuff and scratch so easily and that Touchwiz is redesigned to be more sexy than it currently is. I want Samsung to move away from their current garish design ethos and make something a bit more smart.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
What I'll like to see from SGS3:

Non-Pentile 720P SuperAMOLED

Camera with 1080p 60fps recording

Dual or quad core A15

Fully open source. That includes driver so that Team Hacksung can work their magic. :D
[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
I just sold my GS2 and my Nexus is on its way. I did my research, I know that the GS2 has slightly better internals, but the Nexus phones were never about having bleeding edge hardware. The Nexus phones are about bleeding edge software... and when it comes down to it, you can have all the hardware in the world, but stay stuck with crappy software.

The only thing, IMO, that keeps the S2 going is Cyanogenmod. I have immense respect for their work, but when the developers have to hack around closed-source, ****ty code from Samsung, things mostly work. Emphasis on mostly. I'm sick and tired of being constrained by Samsung's unwillingness to cater to the Android dev community, and I decided to break free from their chains.

Is the Galaxy S2's GPU slightly better? Yes. Is the S2's camera slightly better? Yes. Does the S2 have a SD Card slot? Yes. But the GPU in the Nexus is better than the GPU in the iPhone 4, and that thing is super smooth & capable. The camera in the Nexus does what its supposed to - take good quality photos for Facebook, G+ etc. I've always had SD cards in my phones, and have never used them.

Go look at the Nexus's development forum... its like a beehive in there, and the honey looks crazy sweet :)

So yes, the S3 will probably destroy the Nexus in terms of hardware... but its simply not what counts - look at all the N1 users who are only upgrading now, because only now their phone feels like it needs upgrading. Software is where its at.
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
ppl should get a nexus and compare. I got both at the moment.

Hands down a better experience.

like soulcro said, the development there is amazing!!

doubt me, check these - all this over 2 weeks.

[Galaxy S II General] nicholaschum:
Does the Galaxy Nexus have a MicroSD card slot? No

'nuff said.
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
Ok

Gs2 has muuuch better GPU not only slightly, try 1080p on Nexus...

Nexus has no MicroSD slot, which means constantly moving files from ur phone to pc to free up space ( unless you dont make oics and videos at all, or dont watch any movies on it)

On Nexus u cant even watch 720p on youtube it's lagging like hell!!!! (Talking about flash from any browser)

Cant transfer bluetooth files TO Nexus! The only way is to ZIP them and then send them ( not rly convenient. Has no problems from Nexus to any device

The camera...oh god, pics not bad with lots of light, but indoors in low light, noisy as hell!!! Video recording is not even close to the quality of GS2!!!

Nexus doesnt have DLNA app u have to download thirdparty one, the best is Skifta,but on ICS it drains the battery like hell!

Nexus doesnt have wifi direct, it's just API for developers

Battery is the same, but Nexus manages the processes better. No wakelock etc. no tweaks are needed to get good battery life :))

Nexus has pathetic speaker!!! Almost unusable on loudspeaker unless it's really quiet around you!

Nexus is sooo much more expensive than GS2!

a good point is the Screen of Nexus it's really good!! Cant even tell it's pentile. it is so much easier to read anything with HD screen

Those observation are from about 1 month testing :)

I think I have said enough to make ones mind into bying any of the two :) hope it helps :)

Guess which One I'm gonna keep, but still everyone has different needs :)
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
I ran out of memory on both my internal and external card (8gb) so had to buy a 32gb which is now half full. Nexus is useless to me.

Anyway, this question is a bit like asking on a BMW forum whether I should buy a Mercedes.

Why not go ask on the Nexus forum??

It helps to judge it properly by having both devices. Don't think I will ever buy a non-nexus again.

True. But where do I fit the more than 20gb of data I already have on my S2.

[Galaxy S II General] GUARDIANBD:
not worth it

i was at the same situation and stay'd with my SGS2.

the Gnex not offering real upgrade over the SGS2

* CPU - the TI OMAP 4460 CPU is good for lower Power consumption but is no match for the sammy's 4120.

* GPU - the Gnex GPU is SGX540 clocked at 400mhz while the SGS2 GPU is the MALI-400

an old GPU but much stronger then the SGX540\400mhz.

* Screen - the Gnex 720p screen is real blessing but the Pentile matrix ruin's it

i dont know if anyone saw it before but it looks a bit blurry compare to the SGS2

"SAP" screen.

* Software - its very important to keep the phone updated but to be honest

no one actually stay's with the original rom for long.

with ICS our SGS2 will be even faster then the Gnex in every parameter.

so software OTA is irrelevant.

* Camera - the SGS2 camera is amazing 28mm 2.4 that takes really great shots

no Camera-phone is nighttime capable (yet!)

stay with the SGS2 and get the SGS3 when it comes out.
[Galaxy S II General] siregorash:
My only reasons to get Nexus is that, it's LED Notification (Although overcome by BLN in S2) and of course, Nexus's AMOLED HD (Although I've yet to get it hands on, so, I'm not sure how good it is).

Lastly, my fear is that, Custom ROMs & Kernels developers would shift to other devices within my two years of contract with my carrier for S2 although Nexus is my dream. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
fair point, different purpose.

I stream practically all my media so SD card is a mute point for me.

Anyways, i am happy with the sentiments. That should fetch me a good price for the gs2 then.

OT: I will never buy a sports car with fitting a family as a requirement.
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I played with a GNex a few minutes in-store and I must say CM9 on sgs2 is 3 times faster. Nexus even lags when switching screens slightly and especially when entering appdrawer. Screen is nice, but it's nowhere near Retina-quality is should've been. I'd say it's VERY slightly clearer. Performance on SGS2 is just crazy fast. Not to mention a lot better camera and SD card slot.
[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
Everyone uses their phone differently. I've never, ever had a use for DLNA/Bluetooth File Transfer/Wifi Direct/MicroSD. The flash is reportedly working fine when you upgrade to 4.0.3. The camera does exactly what its supposed to - pictures for usage by Facebook, etc... I hope you're not taking your wedding pictures with your S2 :p

The speaker problem is easily fixed with Volume+, although I've seen users saying the stock volume works for them.

Regarding software - yes, developers can and will port AOSP ICS to the S2. But I've been using Cyanogenmod (only worthwhile AOSP in my experience) on my previous three phones - HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy, and Samsung Galaxy S2. In all cases, the CM developers had to work around propriety code/drivers, and the end user always had to sacrifice one or more features in order to get AOSP on his device. On the Nexus line of phones, everything is wide open - meaning developers don't have to jump through hoops to get things working.

No more "petition Samsung to release XYZ!!!", no more "XYZ doesn't work because we don't have the source for XYZ", etc etc. I used to think owning a Nexus wasn't worth it due to the developers, but its simply not the case.

And I think we can agree the TouchWiz, or any manufacturer skin for that matter, just kinda sucks.
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
CPU, agreed. However with hardware acceleration in ICS. less load is on CPU, even max 700MHz is fine for a lag free experience.

GPU, agreed. Maybe I don't play enough games, however Modern Combat 3 on the GNEX dispay is amazing

Screen, this is where one would need both phones in comparison, gs2 is not even close on this one even though the gnex has pentile.

Software, with pure AOSP. Sort of, not with closed source though. It took Jkay awhile to get to where its at, the same thing happens on the nexus in 2 days. Check my previous posts with links to screenshots.

with how samsung is making it like gingerbread, not so much.

Camera, agreed. Not for low light conditions, iphones are better yet. The gs2 has better camera, however not highly noticeable so far between the two for me.

Hmm, it looks like I don't need the gs2 anymore, any buyers? :p

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Is that a proper google phone or a carrier version?

Like CM9 is non stock firmware, put a good rom and kernel with vm tweaks on the gnex, it is silky smooth even at 700MHz.

VERY slighly clearer? :confused: I wear glasses and I can tell it's a better screen. put the GNEX on 240DPI and see the diff.

Retina quality is awesome for the small display, but the screen resolution and the resultant ppl, even my gf on the iphone 4s likes the GNEX screen better.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Agreed.

I think the main point here may be people defending their purchase, or just being fanboys without actually using the GNEX.

I've paid the same price for both phones due to being a fairly early adopter.

I have no such need to justify purchases and can definitely compare both in my hands to have an objective view.

btw, a sound comparison between the two by plugging them into a stereo system clearly ensures the gnex as the better device. Sorry I checked coz I had been asked to check before.
[Galaxy S II General] Sandman2749:
I came to the GS2 from the RAZR. The siren call of the GNex and it’s big screen is sweet but in the end I couldn’t stand not having a decent camera in it. The pictures I take with my cell camera when I don’t have my regular digital camera will play an important part of recording my kid’s as they grow up. I feel that the GS2 has one of the top 3 cameras in android at this point.

Ask yourself this: if the GNex wasn’t first to market with ICS, would it really have been THAT much of a big thing?

The GS3 should be a world beater with great camera, OS AND HD screen.
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
an iphone suits your purpose better...
[Galaxy S II General] MrPhilo:
You won't be disappointed with either phone.

I'd prefer the Galaxy Nexus though, having both phone so I don't really care.
