Not sure dude. I think that Samsung were cute using the Tegra 2 for those models and you will see a big swing this year when htc have the t3 inside. In bothe phone and tablet. The actual feel of an htc in your hand is much better i reckon. The nexus s and sg2 seem plasticy.

I have the cm9 kali ics on now.It is the only one of all the ICS's I can install and not spend 1hr putting things right on. its ok, but nothing like as quick as my DHD with sense on and loaded with apps, but that's on GB.

Ah well. I'm not sure what I expected from it really. The fact that i do mess with my own roms and knew what I would makes me the stupid one. If ur happy ur happy. I just wanted something different. ;)

Im one of those people that stripped sense out as much as possible. Last years HTC phones were a disappointmet, I can't stand those 16:9 dimensions. Hopefully this year they make a decent phone with a 4:5 and 4.5" screen. Until then it'll be Samsungs.
[Off-topic] xaccers:
I have to totally disagree with you there old bean :)

Sense is lovely, it's so smooth and logical. I find it usable where as I find plain android horrible so would never have a nexus.

As for hardware, yes the SGS II screen is nice, but the phone feels really cheap and brittle to me, I'd be worried about sitting down and snapping it. I don't have such issues with the sensation and prefer the higher resolution screen.

It's one of the huge advantages Android has over other phone OSs, there's so much variety and customisation available pretty much everyone's desires can be met.

Hi all!

Few days ago i updated my lg p990 via LGMobile update service to 2.3.4 Gingerbread V20m with no problems. I`m from Serbia btw. Then i rooted my phone and installed clockwork recovery to backup my rom. I made a mistake to do that after i performed root so now when i restore my rom the phone is rooted again and i can`t use update utility anymore! It says my model is not suported. I then used SuperOneClick to unroot and r1-stockrecovery-2x-unsigned zip to remove recovery and it did that but still can`t update or restore original stock V20m rom with update utility. I even managed to install V20l ROM and baseband via Smartflash and offcourse still no update posibility and "not supported model" message. Yesterday i downloaded from XDA, Netherland stock V20m but, guess what, still not supported. Can anyone tell me how to or what to do to make my phone update officialy again with LG tool. THNX in advance

Well you have go download correct files. I don't remember very well where the download location is.

But I have managed to do full installation of original lg software over the cyanogenmod.

There is a step by step guide on this forum how to do this.

I am from Croatia and after that my phone accept automaticly update.

Now I am on Cyanogenmod because it is so much better than stock.

I downloaded stock V20m rom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 and still not supported with update. Can u please find what u did and post here!? I don`t know what i didn`t try and nothing worked so far. And i have GPS isue so i have to restart phone with gps ON and then it works. I didn`t have that problem when i updated to V20m first time. I have read that it`s a problem on V20l but not on V20m. U said u use custom rom!? Is everything working properly!? No workarounds to make something work like this GPS problem!?

In the fruitcakes thread, there is a link for 2.3.4 (webtop only) that doesn't specifically say AT&T, so my guess is that it should work for you. I haven't flashed any of these fruitcakes, however. Anyone with more experience care to chime in?

I have absolutely no experience with that however, I did a search on Google and this thread popped up. All I searched for was "how to edit build.prop":

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1236732

Anyone feel free to verify/correct me as I have never edited my build.prop before and I don't intend to. This is for anyone who may be looking for an answer. I won't say it is the answer as I've never done this before but hopefully this helps someone get on the proper train of thought.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
if you're rooted try removing or renaming the phone.apk in /system/app. Make a copy of the ROM .zip to flag the original first in case something doesn't work ans definitely a backup in cwm. This should disable the activation nag and data phone capabilities. Not a good idea if you want to use it as a phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaiger:
if you mean i'm using my phone for text and call because i can't use them here in ph. there is no verizon carrier here in ph. sir tiny may i know what will disable after i edit the phone.apk?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
If you can't use your phone for text,data,and talking, you can disable it as it essentially disables the ROM's use of the cell's radio (wifi should still work).

Couple ways to do it:

1. remove the phone.apk from the zip and transfer new zip to sdcard and wipe system in recovery and re-flash rom.

2. Using root explorer or some kind of app that can write to /system, delete or rename the Phone.apk found in /system/app and reboot. If you get force close messages, just battery pull and boot the phone up again.

And, no there's no editing of the file itself just making the android system not able to find it. Not officially supported by devs to disable the radio but if you're having struggles to skip activation it is definitely worth a shot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaiger:
this would be my last resort. im getting fraustrated because its almost a month finding a solution how to bypass this activation screen. thanks sir tiny you're a great help for me :D

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werdna87:
I believe if you just press the home button a TON then it should work
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxquicksh0txx:
You're talking about the screen that comes up when you first turn the phone on after you first buy the phone?

There's a way to do it without changing the build.prop, I'll look for it. I actually did it when j first got my phone.

Some people have said if you tap the top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left corners in that order it bypasses it.

It works for some, the way I did it involved dialing some **number and changing somethings to 0000000

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

Here I found a link to where it says how to tap the corners

http://www.androidcentral.com/bypass-activation-screen-your-android-device

And I found the way I was talking about when you call **778 and change the settings

1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.

2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.

3. Select NAM Settings.

4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).

5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).

6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).

7. As you back out "Commit the Change".

8. The phone will auto reboot in 10 seconds.

#2 works permanently as I remember and it's pretty easy to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lionel7:
hi guys

i have a big problem...my nexus doesnt recognise my sim anymore.

i have opened it and i can see that one of the 3 sim connector is broken.

do you know a online shop where i can find a replacement for the sim slot ?

or do you know a workaround ?

thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jikenda:
Same EXACT issue here.. are these pins really fragile or what??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jikenda:
Also, a quick update. I brought this to a store in NY and they said that on each of the 3 rows, that make contact with the SIM, there are 2 pins that make contact. If both are broken (like in my case), they need to replace the whole SIM port because they can't solder the lower pin as the heat will do damage. If it's only the top (longer copper looking pin), than they may be able to fix it.

I am going to get another opinion this Friday and I'll update here. Otherwise, I am seeing if Samsung UK can send me parts or give me a quote to send the phone in for service, but it might not be worth all the money and may have to sell it.

Let me know how you make out if you have any updates!

Thanks!~

So did they fix it for you? I have a broken pin as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ipfreelytech:
I'm curious how you are all breaking pins. I have swapped sim cards lots of times (I was testing three carriers at one point) and I was decently rough in doing so. All my sims were normal size sims. Were those of you with broken pins wedging micro sims or using adapters?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RussianBear:
Yeah, awesome people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worknman:
Bingo :) Though in my case, I broke it trying to get it back OUT. I just stupidly assumed that the phone company would send me the proper-sized sim when I told them which phone I had, so I tried to put it in the only way it looked like it would fit. Then again, I am about as mechanically inclined as a monkey, and tend to break things easily :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
Yeah go with RussianBear's suggestion and mail it to FL.

Im not affiliated with them and havent tried them but I guess they charge around $50 to fix. Locally you might find a place to fix it as well. GL in getting it fixed .

If its a google play store model, Samsung USA should fix it for you free of charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RussianBear:
Same thing here. Just got the nexus and still had the stupid micro Sim adapter from one s... Needless to say,i was pissed. The seller turned out to be a great guy though, helped me out a bit.

They did charge me about 50, but i didn't have to pay for return shipping (priority). I'll recommend this shop to anyone from now on :) not affiliated with them in any way, except for them doing a great repair job lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worknman:
Do you really think they will? I sent a message to Google, who referred me to Samsung for warranty support:

(Forum won't let me post link)

On that site, it says:

If your Device is defective through no fault of your own, you have up to fourteen (14) days from the date the Device is delivered (the "Advanced Replacement Period") to contact Samsung customer care at (855) 392-6398 regarding a replacement Device under the Samsung Advanced Replacement Process.

Since this was obviously my fault, and I'm not going to lie to them and tell them it just showed up this way, I didn't even bother to call and ask.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worknman:
Just an update... I sent my phone off to the Hassle Free repair place. Apparently, they have one tech (a female) who is the only one that can do these repairs, and they claim she has been sick in bed for over a week now. They've been very responsive to inquiries, so I'm hoping they'll get it fixed eventually.

Will let ya'll know how it ends up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RussianBear:
Yup, she is actually a member on here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worknman:
About 12 days after I sent the phone in, I got a call from Crystal using my phone, saying they had fixed the phone, and apologizing profusely for the delay. After I made the Paypal payment, they sent it off the very next day. Phone arrived 2 days later... SIM card slot looks brand new, and phone works great :)

So I'd definitely recommend them, but I'd also check in advance if you're in a hurry, and make sure the repair person isn't on vacation or something, since there seems to be only one of her.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawgirlval69:
thanks for the good feedback guys... we really appreciate your business and feedback as we strive to give you the best repair we can give...

@worknman.. thank you for your patience, we actually had a family emergency and had gone to ohio for a few months to help out and were doing the repairs there. not being used to the weather i came down with a horrible case of sinusitis and really was bedridden for a bit over a week. again i do thank you for your patience and i hope you were more than satisfied.

as for our shop we do have 2 techs but only one that is capable of doing board level soldering properly. i take great pride in doing a perfect job so if theres a chance to keep the warranty intact, my repair will go unnoticed.(worked and was trained by samsung so i know how they solder so its easy for me to replicate) we have 25 years total repair experience and we are guaranteed to not be a "you tube" shop where we watch a video and think we know everything.... i was trained by samsung, motorola, nokia, audiovox...

bottom line is we do things right the first time.... hope to help anyone in need.... i promise you wont be disapointed...

It depends. It's definitely better than the Nexus S, but I didn't buy one because it was a downgrade from the SII. I refuse to ever buy any phone that isn't the best phone at the time of it's release. I know that phones become outdated all the time, but they should never be outdated on release.

now, he came back too windows and he sees the GPS nothing work. he didn't test it before installing nand.

Has been GPS corrupted?

Hi Morty.

If I understand correctly ....

I do not think GPS is Dead. Only believe, is blocked. I noticed that there are some releases Android ROMs, which block the GPS.

Some evidence of mini hd and hd2 I have demonstrated this.

The only advice I can give you (what I have written in other threads) is to go back to WM6.5. From here to try some release Android sd (I forget which I used on hd mini) obviously do not install the one you have already tried. I hope I was clear and helpful.
