[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] christran12:
I got paranoid and went to a AT&T core store on Super Bowl Sunday (first day we were supposed to be able to pre-order) and tried to pre-order it. Not only was there not a bunch of people waiting to pre-order it, the store employee had no idea that it pre-orders for the Note started that day. No other customer had come in asking about it by then (just after noon). So obviously, the demand isn't that bad. I'm pretty sure we'll be getting it in timely manner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
Not a lot of people even knows the phone exist. Probably won't even notice it until a few months when it catches up. Only problem with AT&T is the lag in customer service about any information about the product and some CRS has no idea about the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
Yeah..There shouldn't be any issues of walking into most retail stores within the first 2 weeks, and being able to purchase a Note right on the spot.

And based on the way Samsung did their SB commercial...I wouldn't be surprised if it's true that many Americans still have no clue what the Note is (and/or they flat-out don't care about it).

And this is considering that Samsung has advertised the Note a ton dating back to last September's IFA in Germany. But I think it's the case that it's far more recognized in the overseas markets.

Like in Asia...it supposedly has sold fairly well in Taiwan and Singapore...and they both are small nations overall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supralover72:
Hey guys, I currently own a Nexus S 4g on sprint and I'm really considering jumping ship due to the ****ty data speeds, pulled premier program and lack of official CDMA Nexus S support.

My question is this: Is there a similar issue with the CDMA GNex on Verizon? Is it too early to tell?

I desperately want 4g considering the coverage is great in my area, but I'd be willing to trade that to not deal with the same bull**** that my Nexus S on sprint forces me to deal with.

TL;DR Version: Does Verizon GNex have full OTA and Rom support compared to the GSM Unlocked Version on AT&T's network?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Verizon OTAs will be behind GSM generally, but not a discernible amount. The basic thing to know here is that Verizon's CDMA and LTE network stacks are proprietary (closed source) and they have to add it and test it before putting an OTA out. This doesn't have to happen on the GSM model as its standardized and open source.

ROM community should still be pretty strong for the VZW version. But when it comes down to it the base of users using the GSM model around the world is probably larger (and its

the

official dev phone). There will surely be good community support of both versions.

Thing is that if you care about OTAs you probably don't care about ROMs, and vice versa. Kinda gotta tell us what you care about more. But luckily with the Nexus you'll stay pretty up to date without rooting and ROMing.

The amount of data you will use is 100% based on your usage patterns. Don't let someone else's usage give you an idea of how much you'll use. That's something you should be able to figure out based on your previous usage.

And by the way, there is no AT&T version of this phone. There is the unlocked GSM version, which works on any GSM carrier in the world. The OTAs on that model have nothing to do with what carrier you're currently using (only on the variant of regional software/radio you may or may not have).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supralover72:
Thanks for the response and the clarification about the unlocked GSM version. In your opinion, do you think the official dev support/larger user base is worth the slower data speeds and ****tier customer service?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well the data speeds aren't just slower with no benefit. HSPA+ does severely better on battery than LTE does. But the speeds are still very serviceable. IMHO 10mbps is still plenty fast lol.

You also get the benefit of choosing your own carrier. If you're on AT&T or T-Mobile you'll get the same customer service for network issues, you just won't get hardware customer service. With GSM you get to choose any carrier and stay off contract and potentially save a TON of money every month if you decide to go that route. You probably have about 12 carriers to choose from when looking at all the GSM offerings in the US. When you buy the VZW Galaxy Nexus, you're going to be paying Verizon every month for the rest of the time you use that device, and that's it.

This is a much larger question that has been battled in 100's of pages of flaming between VZW and other GSM users. You should read up on those but when it comes down to it just understand that there are pros and cons to both that you should weigh when choosing. As I said you have to decide what's important to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supralover72:
Thanks a bunch for the help and for being polite. I'll do some searching and read up on that for sure. Sounds like HSPA+ ain't half bad...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The GSM version isn't a 2nd class citizen to the LTE version. Not by a long shot. You shouldn't feel like you're getting the short end of the stick going GSM. Its a world class device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supralover72:
After looking at some of these no contract prices and considering I can have my Brother's employee edition GSM GNex for free this is looking like the option for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You should read through this thread:

Only 16 gigs of memory in the GSM version is something to think about with no memory card slot...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supralover72:
Awesome reading it now. Thanks.

@eman: Not an issue, my nexus s has 16gb so I'm used to consolidating. Thanks for the heads up though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yeah no problem its an awesome thread.

I'm personally using my unlocked i9250 on $30 T-Mobile plan and its working fantastically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supralover72:
Yea I couldn't believe that plan. Seemed too good to be true till I read people actually using it.

It must do wonders for the hearing impaired.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Its a pretty amazing plan really. Best deal in wireless in the US today IMHO.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KurtF1:
Hi,

I just tried to install this rom on my i9100p (the one with NFC) but failed the initial test... looks like it can be installed only on plain 9100, 9100M and T but not P... why is that? i've read that apart from the NFC it's just the same (in fact i had no problem installing CWM and after that when the phone boots it says i9100)...

i tried to search for the piece of code that it show on the screen as an error, but unfortunately I couldn't find where it is... the error is:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9100" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9100M" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9100M" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9100T" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9100T"

so it should be matter of adding a couple ORs and voila... or maybe is there a way to change my model name somewhere?

wel thank you, it did help, cause i understood that i had to modify the updater-script!

but now i get another error :( it just says error in .zip and (status 6), before it was status 7...

but i'm not really sure if i'm doing it correctly... when i'm in recovery mode, i go to install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard and then i choose update-cm-9...zip

instructions only say "flash cm9"...

i have rooted the phone with CWS and nothing else...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
Before I ask I want to clarify what I want: a small bar along the bottom of the screen that is identical in function to the x10's existing hard buttons, just like in ICS or in Doomkernel touch recovery. I am also aware of button savior, however it did not suit my needs- wrong resolution, incorrect theme, not the right number of buttons and they didn't do what I wanted them to do. Now this may just be me, but I'd like a willing developer to look into this please. Any ideas? If anyone can extract the buttons from the kernel and make them work in ROMs then I'd appreciate you sharing it. Mods if I was wrong to start this thread then close it by all means, it transfer it whatever. Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ldeleeuw:
I'm just being curious here. Why would someone want that? In my point of view it's just taking op screen space and and it's function is redundant because of the hardware buttons
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] negrobembon:
I feel the same way
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
My buttons look like they've gone through 7 rounds with hulk Hogan! Also the glowing lights between them can get annoying (I know there's a script with which they can be disabled, but I'd prefer to have them do I know when my x10 stops responding properly rather than just the screen freezing up). Do kind like to keep the buttons prettier for when my contract expires, and you have to admit; they look pretty awesome, right? Finally, it'd be a single step closer to and ICS experience like the galaxy nexus. I've seen a few other members saying similar things to me and I figured I might as well ask on all of our behalfa :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sahibunlimited:
If u would give the framework-res.apk

or wait for some hours,i have to download the rom and flash it on my old x10;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] TAL333:
Here is the Framework-res.apk from my phone running Achotjans CM7 v4.1.

I've got essentially what we are talking about in an older version of the Syndicate apps ICS launcher. If you need something from it let me know. The reasons for using the soft buttons are as follows: it is quicker, it keeps one from having to hold the phone while pressing hard buttons if you use a stand like I do, there is so much space and gaps between icons vertically with the stock launcher that even with a 4x5 icon pattern it is perfectly proportioned having a 50 to 60 pixel soft button bar at the bottom (See screenshot),it saves wear and tear on hardware, and it looks really good.

Thanks,

Its only possible for ICS roms

The soft buttons are not only in the launcher its always on(even in gameloft games)

It also have disadvantages like it eats up the screen(obviously)

So post ICS roms framework-res.apk
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] TAL333:
Having it separate from launcher is fine. And CM9 makes sense, since we will be there soon on the X-10. I was finally able to find an tunneled IP in Manchester, England that hadn't had a cantdownload.to within 1 hour so I got CM9 FXP107, loaded it and copied my framework-res so here it is.:)

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sahibunlimited:
Should i make a thread?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] TAL333:
I think you should definitely make a thread. It works perfectly on CM9 #108. It also has the little 3 dot menu button on most screens and works with the Trebuchet and Nova launchers; so probably all of the launchers except the Syndicate ICS Launcher with built in soft buttons. If people use it for 10 minutes they likely wouldn't want to go back to hard buttons. It would be great if you could adapt it to Achotjans Semc Debrand CM7 Rom. Thanks again, you did a great job.

We can't get the buttons on GB roms

The Syndicate one have fake on screen buttons and they disappear when any app or game is opened

The one i have given is enables the on screen buttons from the framework-res.apk and it will be their if u open any game,app,etc
[General Accessories] bangorang:
I know you can get them for like 4 bucks on amazon but does anyone have one to put their two cents in? Reliable?
[General Accessories] GladiatoRiley:
Eh they're alright you get what you pay for. It actually protects surprisingly well from drops. You can get good ones from "mall stalls"
[General Accessories] Product F(RED):
They're great; they're not soft, lint-collectors like rubber ones, but they're not hard and shatter-prone like hard cases. They're somewhere in between. I'd recommend them. Used them on my Evo 3D and GSII. I'd say get them either from Amazon or here (this is the website for real TPU cases): http://tpu-cases.com/ If you order from Amazon, Diztronic is the original seller.
[General Accessories] bangorang:
Thanks yeah I got the diztronic matte black one. It's awesome
[General Accessories] beam408:
My hard plastic cases get crack easily after dropped a few times. TPU can hold and protect your phone well and it's last longer.

Cruzerlite TPU skins. Amazon, lots of colors and designs. $9 and change a piece, but i believe buy 2 get one free.
[General Accessories] wasabiboi:
They're a mix of both worlds. It really depends on your own opinion though.
[General Accessories] E_D_M:
I have the TPU Matte black case on my Galaxy S2 and I'll have to say it's great for the price. I had the Case-Mate Pop before but it made the phone feel too bulky.
[General Accessories] bamx2:
TPU cases are a great value . Even an inexpensive one purchased at fleabay works well .
[General Accessories] astromanic:
definitely think a cheap tpu case is the way to go. I bought the s-line tpu case off ebay for 1.90 shipped for my amaze
[General Accessories] WozniaksOtherPhone:
I've used a couple and think they are solid enough. They're great protection but sometimes don't add much in the wow factor to the look of the phone.
[General Accessories] Adauth:
I have 4 cruzerlite TPU cases i purchased from Amazon. Its the only skin/case i have ever used on my razr since December and i dont have a single mark on my phone.
[General Accessories] KayxGee1:
TPU cases are the way to go. Gel and silicon are to flimsy. Hard cases make a drop even worse for a phone. TPU cases are sturdy but soft enough to protect when dropped.
[General Accessories] Ripley:
The Rock ones are the best you will get for the price. Screen & lens protection, great quality. There is a thread on here.
[General Accessories] HadrianAnderson:
mmm for 4 dollars is very difficult to find something good on ebay I saw some leather to 11.99 for various models. regards

TPU cases that i've used are pretty good against shock, i've dropped my phone a few times and its still in one piece :D

Sorry need to vent and before anyone asks, I have ordered some accessories already, no ones got anything locally. So here goes my story.... By accident I dropped my phone on a mat and it bounced lightly and hit the gym floor, I was sitting down so my phone was only about 12" from the mat. Anyways long story short I have a nice 4mm scratch on my screen...

I have had a few phones with gorilla glass thats been dropped harder and no scratches.. Like my infuse that got its housing dented and landed face down. (wasn't my fault, friend dropped it) Im so pissed right now, this thing is only 2 days old.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hausman:
It is possible to scratch Gorilla Glass; Corning's marketing materials call it "scratch resistant". My Photon 4G has Gorilla Glass and the previous owner managed to scratch it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
First cut is the deepest
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacket84:
Could it be possible that the scratch happened from another incident where you wouldn't expect damage at all and you never really noticed till you dropped it then closely examined it? For example.. Sliding it into your jeans pocket while the face of the phone scrapes along the copper stud at the top of the fob/ticket/watch pocket (the small one)...

That has totally happened to me a long time ago with my blackberry, was PISSED that I had a long ass scratch on my screen and was puzzled as to how it came to be. Until I slide it in my pocket only to notice it happen again and realized lol

But, again, that was just an example of a seemingly harmless but destructful act.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hausman:
I was going to say you must have a nice gym where the floor is made of diamonds...

Sorry about the scratch, tho. Your scratch looks just like mine - which I can't actually see if the display is on. Hopefully yours isn't too bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HarmonyFlame:
I don't see how because you happened to scratch your screen it equates to the device not having gorilla glass at all. Its not indestructible ya' know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Driggity420:
Why have your Gnote at the gym first fail right there. iPod shuffle all day for gym use
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] endine:
Read the other posts before posting, I clearly know its not indestructible. Also I stated that this was a vent!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] endine:
Cause I'm not at my workout gym, I'm at a Gym watching a vball game.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hausman:
To be fair, though, your post title looks like you're trolling. I'd suggest changing it if you can...nothing wrong with venting, but spreading misinformation is kind of uncool even though you're frustrated (and I can definitely relate to that). Maybe "Gorilla Glass isn't as tough as I thought..." and then show an HD video of the vball game shot with your Note just because you can. :)

My Captivate is 1 1/2 years old. I've never had a screen protector near it. I've dropped the thing a dozen times, it even slid 15 feet on it's face on an asphalt covered hill. I stuck it in and out of my pocket over 1,000 times and it doesn't have one scratch on the glass.

I was really hoping we would get the same protection on the Note.

Guess I am going to re-think the whole screen protector thing. Bummer!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
That's why you use a screen protector
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Croak:
Dude, sounds like he got unlucky and it landed on a little piece of quartz sand, which is pretty damned common, and much harder than Gorilla Glass. Likely would have scratched your Captivate too, though the weight difference may have helped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kotaro_14:
