so it is $500 if you buy it straight out of factory ?

and thank you for the fast response
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
I believe so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.coli:
LTE Galaxy Nexus from the website of Samsung (the manufacturer) with no contract, is $799 USD. That seems as close to buying from the factory as possible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuBe2:
If possible can you give me the price without tax off this phone´s

-Google nexus s

-HTC sensation XL

-HTC sensation XE

-Samsung Galaxy s 2

Seems like I have nothing but problems ever since I slapped on there the acesoft 2010mah battery. At 1st I thought it was Quicksense, but my girlfriend is running stock and her phone has frozen up on her, battery goes to 0 when there is still some left. Not sure but seems like these batteries really suck!

I want some serious battery life, any recommendation?

Is it possible I get 2 bad batteries? What seemed weird about the batteries when I got them is that they were fully charge. Every battery I bought has had either a partial charge or no charge.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mcs117:
It could be a driver issue with the phone and battery. Try another company since each likes to tinker with their batteries and that can lead to instability.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
Battery needs drivers?

Another thing I notice also, GPS and Bluetooth dont work well when they are both in use. Bluetooth says its pair when its not and the GPS freezes and acts funny.

I'll try and see about getting a different brand.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
Can anyone recommend "GOOD" battery with long battery life?

I was thinking maybe this

[HTC Amaze 4G] freakboy13:
I would recomend staying away from any aftermarket batteries. Everyone here seems to like the ankor Battery. weird that the andida looks the same. Oh and yes batteries require drivers.

Have you tried clearing the battery cache? I have read this helps with new non OEM batteries. I would go with ankor if you must seems to be the battery of choice. Imo if an aftermarket battery isn't giving you at least 3-4 extra hours it ain't worth it. Plus there's always the risk of it being a pos and damaging your hardware. And I'm sure you void any and all warranties doing so.

Hope this helps gl
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I got the anker 1800mah batteries, I should have gotten the 1900.. but they have better battery life over stock(even the 1800). I will say this though, you have to be careful with them, the little plastic dividers between the charging terminals can break, and I blame the crappy ac charger that anker makes that came with my batteries(the charging tabs move so you can charge different batteries on it).

If I could do it over, I would have gotten two 1900mah, been a little more careful with them, stopped using the stock battery, and gotten a better quality ac charging dock.

I noticed that the set of the galaxy cputuner for romCM7 error problem, not initially set out in the cpu is very high, but after usi,l. ng many applications it may very well slow? expect some advice. And i wait CM9 everyday , so hot.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
I contacted Samsung's flagship outlet in India. They said that this product is not being manufactured anymore.

I guess Samsung stopped manufacturing this product. Could be the reason for price drop.

Even with enormous demand for this phone, I don't think they will restart manufacturing because they will be releasing Galaxy S III very soon and will start working on a cheaper variant of Galaxy S III

Maybe calling it a Galaxy R II or Galaxy S III SC-LCD.

That's a really heartbreaking news for me. I really expected this product to be available abundantly and many of the Devs to buy it.

That could've taken our device above the Optimus 2X in every aspect.

Anyway, I would say that this a one sweet sexy baby that we all got.

Hey, but there are some weird thoughts that is crossing my mind. Have you people checked Samsung India's Galaxy R page?

When we click on the link to buy it, it takes us to Letsbuy's website.

That's just a normal online shopping website.

Is there any chance that there is some exclusive deal between Samsung India and Letsbuy that Samsung are providing the stocks exclusively to Letsbuy?

If you check, Letsbuy is the only website that has Galaxy R in stock right now. That too at a price of 21k INR (420 US$)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
Could the members from other countries comment about the availability in their respective countries?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
Dude if you wanna buy this Phone try on ebay...its available.....also check in your near local stores....dont go to samsung outlets...

i got mine for 20500rs...a week ago frm a dealer....:p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
That's a pretty decent deal that you got. The lowest at eBay India is at 23.5k INR
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nightmareweaver:
Out of stock on FlipKart,i think its the cheapest you can buy online for 21k
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Mr.S.K.:
I bought this phone last Sunday for 21K and that guy sold 3 phones in front of me in few minutes.

It was the cheapest deal i found. This phone is really awesome :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] andrew051974:
We have it in Russia about from $530 to $620 USD in internet stores and regular shops

But we are paying about $170 USD for russian goverment test mark inside
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ofabhishek:
Its still easily available.. atleast on ebay

its been thr on "Deals of the week" from past few weeks...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
It is available on eBay, a place where you are supposed to get at good prices. But it's at 23-24k minimum. There's a shortage for the device that's sure. I only have a doubt regarding the production status. Because Samsung stores and many of the dealers said so. I really hope that the device comes back to all the dealers and it is available adequately. More the people who own it ≈ More members in our community ≈ More developer support of it.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] AbShake96:
I guess the Dev's are gonna need all the help they can get from those owning the device. Chances of getting ROM's other than Infected are looking slim.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
An AOSP port is in the works. If you ask me, if the ROMs are good, all that we require is 3 good ROMs for any device. One based on stock like Infected ROM, one CM and MIUI.

Actually, if the ROM is really good, having only 3 is the best. You wont be confused about which to choose. All the members of the community will provide more concentrated support. Having lots of ROMs could make you want to flash each and every ROM and updates to finalise which you like the most. It could take a toll on your social life. (www.xda-developers.com/announcements/do-you-have-obsessive-rom-updating-disorder-ord/)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
The AOSP ROM might take a while to reach usable stage. I think that we wont be able to use conventional methods to port AOSP to Tegra devices. Once nVidia releases the ICS sources and the official ICS rolls out, we can expect a surge in the development.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
Spain still sells R	via the only carrier that has it. No prob at all.to buy it from carrier here, no probs of stock either
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] shiva.kakkar11:
From little bit what I know of Marketing, it may be the case that Samsung Galaxy R is actually cannibalizing the sales of Galaxy S/Plus in India which still sell a lot, considering novice users dont know theadvantages between single/dual core processors. Samsung may want to push the sales of galaxy S/ S plus until stocks are out and then restart stocking Galaxy R. OR they may actually cease from selling Galaxy R in the Indian Market. The situation on Dev support would become apparent once its known whether other markets are going to discontinue Galaxy R also.

(Btw: Sammy, if you really did this then God bless Apple f**k you. If not, then let the hunter become the victim.)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Prankey:
Try Sulekha.com. I got it for less than 19k from there! It still sells around that price if you keep tracking (cycles price almost every day) :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Really good post, It's not only marketing here though, I would even mention some microeconomics as well :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] rahul32111:
i have read that many galaxy r owners are facing random shut down problems which might be due to hardware issues and also samsung may not wamt to keep this phone running in market for so long, that it would affect sales of other models like s2 and s plus
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
I bought my SGR on 19th Jan.... In the very fist hour of usage got random restarts..... The phone does not completely restarts though.... Its just... All current tasks get cleaned from ram... screen does not respond for about 10 seconds.... goes dark and again comes back like it has restarted....... Now, i tried hard resetting the device about 5 times.... now will go to the Samsung Service.....

Is there anyone else who faced similar problem.......

Problem: At times my phone does not respond and resets... to start up condition.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] venkatraman:
I did face the same problem...Samsung service centre told me that my mother board was faulty....I got my phone replaced from my retailer later...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Is it the very same problem that I have mentioned??? .... If yes... Shall, I hope... I will also get mine replaced by SAMSUNG SERVICE coz I think there is no stocks anymore at retailer .... I am really disappointed by this.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] venkatraman:
I don't think they will replace your mobile instead your mother board might be changed....This might solve your problem
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Prankey:
Relax! Its a firmware issue on the official Indian ROM. I also had the same issue immediately after I switched it on, however after upgrading to to the Taiwanese 2.3.6 ROM, NEVER had this issue despite overclocking to 1.35GHz. Best thing is, on the same battery like GS2, it gives like 10x standby time with equally impressive talk time!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Thanks for ur replies.... I will let u know if it gets resolved by updating firmware or else I get some solution from samsung.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Javier4:
It is fully available in Spain.

I think that one only phone company, the smallest one, has the exclusivity, and therefore it is not very sold. Few people have it.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
I think that in spain is still avaliable because there aren't high numbers in revenues since there's only one operator( a small one) that sells it and is not cheap.

But in india I think its beeing sold alot so that might be the reason, If thats the true story in a few months or less it will disappear in Yoigo ( the small spanish carrier).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] venkatraman:
Even i planning to install the Taiwanese ROM on my R.I am from India.can u give me a detailed procedure of flashing d ROM n making a back up of my Indian ROM....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
To make a backup, install and use Clockwork Recovery Mod.

To install a stock ROM, follow these instructions.

If you want to install a custom ROM like Infected v1, just download the zip file, put it on your mobile's memory, boot into CWM, choose install zip from SD card, and select the file in the options.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] saanil:
Guys, Need some help from you guys. After a lot of searching I might get hold of Galaxy R. But off late I have been reading a lot that Galaxy R has some inherent faults, that it has some hardware issues and that it suffers from random restarts and what not. Should I really go for this phone? Please advice as I need to decide by tomorrow morning.

Also I need some info...what firmware does the phone run? Android 2.3.6? or the lower version? are OTA updates available for Galaxy R?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] hapticc:
Bro no random restarts for me awsm phone just buy it absolute value for money. Ota updates are available. Currently latest version available is 2.3.5 in india u can update to other country fw easily and get 2.3.6. Its awsm i jst love this phone. Buy it and u wont regret it
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] saanil:
Also can you tell me whether you are able to play .mkv files 1080p? The thing is I am new to Android. I can afford to buy a GS2 but then I though I should first try Android on Galaxy R which offers almost the same things as GS2. I know GS2 is better but for playing angry birds, watching videos and using whatsapp GS2 is really too much. Hence my inclination towards Galaxy R.

Please let me know if it can play .mkv files. If the stock player doesnt are there apps on Android market which can play them?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] hapticc:
I hit thanx mistakenly nyways u never really tried mkv hd video but if native player cant play ofcourse diceplayer can play every video without skipping frames. Angry birds and all works super fine. Gs2 gets very hot most tym. Sgr get hot only few tyms. Decision is urs u can save 10k bro go for sgr.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Hardware issues? I've never noticed any.

I know that some users suffered cos of this "blackout issue" (with random shutdowns) but they were in deep minority. According to my observation - faulty models constituted not more than few percent of our whole I9103 community. And statistically asian users have had less luck than european ones.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Yes you were right..... It was a firmware issue.... now my SGR works like a charm... no restarts what so ever..... I am in luv with it.... after 10+ days.... of suffering.....

Galaxy R: Availability issue

I am trying to buy this galaxy r phone, but its not available anywhere. Some outlets confirm that the model has been discontinued in India.

Anyone here has any official word as the whether this is true or just a temporary out of stock issue.??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] klone100:
It is fully available in Germany :)....

Maybe it is only out of stock in India ...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] alister214:
I don't think they'd discontinue this model. It's scheduled for icecream sandwich upgrade so I doubt they they'd do this.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] girishb:
Chances are that Samsung are holding back their supplies of SGR to India because this phone has almost crippled the sales of SII. I remember when I went to buy my phone, they were out of stock everywhere and they were trying to promote SII. They even had a separate stall set up for the Note but no one really seemed interested. I finally found it in a store on the same street. It was the last piece they had. I was just on time. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
You got a point. But there's one thing that confuses me. Samsung India brings in a massive pricecut when the production of a particular model stops. The same happened to Galaxy 3 (from 12k to 6.5k) and Nexus S(27k to 19k).

If they wanted to sell more of S II, they wouldn't have reduced the price of GR from 30k to 19k all of a sudden. Secondly, Samsung had a shortage of S II. They couldn't meet the demand. They couldn't make enough S IIs. They ran out of Exynos chips. The newly manufactured ones are with TI OMAP 4 chipsets. Now you can't find the original I9100 in India. You get I9100G which hardly has any dev support.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] klone100:
But why it is only out of stock in India ?? You can buy it here in Europe almost anywhere ... and it seems not to go out of stock.. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
I don't know what people are talking about.

I have checked with multiple shops in two cities in India (Delhi and Chandigarh). It is always available.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
In India the price was about 370$. That might be the reason. It's way higher in other countries.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Just don't get bogged down by naysaying shop keepers. Its very much available in India its just that some distributors in India don't have ready stock of R.

They are just trying to spread the wrong word so as to sell the other models available with them. The shop keepers themselves are handicapped as their main distributors don't have the stock.

So if some shops say its discontinued then try in some different areas & if possible a bit far off from your location, or best buy online if available. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] dh33r4j:
That's the actual issue. Had it been available in any part of India, there were good amount of chances that you could find it in eBay.

All the ones that remains in eBay are the ones that people refused to buy because of the unfair prices. There has been no new listings and all the ones that were there for good prices are sold out. Only 8 of them are available in eBay currently. But it is heavily over-priced.

Moreover, it's not available in any of the online stores.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
I second cooleagle. In India, people always tend to give unclear and bogus information at the phone stalls.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
X Posting from ROM Mod thread.

If they had actually promoted the R & launched it all over the world then it would have given them a headache as it would have given stiff competition to their Exynos lineup of chipset models within that price range.

So I think its a calculated move to keep their profits high by selling their own chipsets !
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] emanoj.i9103:
Totally agree on that. Now Letsbuy.com, the official online selling partner for Samsung in India sells it for 22,990 INR. It was Out of Stock for quite sometime. Now back up.

Yep, but did they forget selling a Samsung Mobile is always better than losing out to competitors? :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Gambler_3:
Ya I dont buy this that they stopped it to give boost to S2 sales. Samsung always has phones competing with each other, to discontinue it because it was eating the S2 sales is against their business criteria.

Maybe they did it because the S advance is going to replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
That surely is a big possibility in the list of possibilities !!!!!!!!!! :)

It was just launched with a limited stock in India which was bought like hot cakes & stocks got over as soon as the price dropped to respectable & acceptable levels.

If thats true then Indians who bought Galaxy Royal are owners of a rare piece in India. :D
