[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geo.samuel:
Yes certainly you can try custom roms bruh!! However all the ICS Roms demand everyday high maintenance so IMO installing a GB rom will be a sane option as if now, even if you just want to test that....

If u want a suggestion then go with rocket rom gb v22 my personal favorite however all the other gb roms are stable and can ne used on daily basis.

Peace

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geo.samuel:
This can be achieved easily!! You have to Install Chainfire's Repack via Mobile Odin then install "Triangle Away" App to remove yellow Triangle on Start up. Then flash again the stock firmware using PC Odin.

It is confirmed work!!

This was just an skeletal overview for indepth steps please refer to the corresponding threads!!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
Thanks for the answer, i already have Odin Mobile and always flashed with it, so no triangle. Chainfire repack, i should install that only if i wanna try ICS, right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijai2011:
Flashing stock kernal doesnt give triangle in any way.I would suggest you not to use ICS leak rom as many suffered from not able to go back to stock after that.As of now I know only 1 developer has recovered his note after struggling for nearly 10 hours:eek::eek:.So stay away from it.I dont know about other ICS roms.But its better to stay with GB now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anilisanil:
if you are planning to return it, then do not try ICS. the leak is not for Note and this caused many users (of Note and Epic 4 touch) issues like a fried flash drive. All the GB custom ROMs are pretty much stable.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightshiftworker:
Hello Gentlemen and Ladies.

I was recently given a rooted Sprint HTC EVO 4G.

I bowed down and kissed the ground in thanks.

We, my benefactor, and I went post haste to the Sprint Store to get my number transferred over on to my miraclulous new device.

This went fine. We got the number swapped to the new phone, BUT

driving home we realized that it actually did not work.

So we called sprint tech support and after a long difficult conversation we realized they could not assist us.

Im asking you Kings and Queens of the Evo 4G.....is there a way I can get a rom that will allow Sprint tech support to assist me in getting my phone set up properly?

and WHICH of the 9jillion roms should i flash to?

Thank you in advance from a sparkly new noob who is worthy of nothing but contempt.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
For ease of use for them activating it, just flash a stock rom, preferrably the latest one. Then once it's fully activated, you can flash another rom you like. Technically you should be able to activate it with any sense rom, but again, to make it easy for you and sprint just flash a stock one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunkim50:
I agree, I would flash a stock rom that does not unroot your phone:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jasphair:
Sorry, this question has probably been beat to death.

Is there a way I can verify if my Galaxy Nexus is SIM unlocked without putting in another SIM card? I don't have any other SIM available to test.

I got my phone from Telus with a new contract. The model shows GT-I9250TSDTLS and UPC is 629018066749.

I've read numerous reports that Galaxy Nexus in Canada comes factory unlocked. I was hoping I could verify before heading off on my trip, and making an unfortunate discovery.

Cheers,

jasphair
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RTContent:
I'm not familiar with the Telus network as I do not live in Canada but it is my understanding that pretty much all carriers around the world lock the phone to their own network. This of course can be corrected by rooting then flashing 'universal' firmware on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CASz:
I think it may be unlocked to Canadian carriers - I put a Rogers SIM in my Bell device and there was no request for a network unlock code - but when I went into fastboot mode the screen indicated my device was locked so I unlocked it using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit. By the time I got drivers installed on a computer I was so frustrated that I chose the easy way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
you guys are confusing the locked bootloader to sim lock. they are two different things. unlocked bootloader allows you to flash roms, unlocked sim allows you to use sim cards from other carriers.

correct me of im wrong here but all north american gnex are sim unlocked. I've read here some people that have the UK gnex are carrier sim locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
I'm pretty sure my Nexus is unlocked so yours should be too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
All CDN carriers have unlocked GNs. A few countries abroad have SIM-locked GNs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
I don't know about Canada since i'm living in Norway, but if you get a new contract which subsidize the phone to make it a little cheaper they usually sim lock the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
same here in canada, all the carriers that subsidize with contracts lock their phone. i've never gotten an sim unlocked phone from a carrier in canada until the galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gundamboy:
Yep, few of my friends and I have the GNex here in Vancouver BC. All Carrier unlocked, from North America (we swapped sims and tried each one).

Gotta love the unlocked, Pentaband goodness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
so the same galaxy nexus will work with the gsm carriers like rogers, telus, bell as well as mobilicity and wind?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Rogers is the only GSM carrier you have listed.

Every company in the list is an HSPA carrier.

Yes it will work on all of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vancitygl:
Even specifically the Telus Nexus signed on a three-year contract? Excuse me for my ignorance but I thought Telus, Rogers, Bell, etc. were only selling them unlocked if you bought them no contract. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
You do realize that hspa is a gsm technology. all the providers are now on gsm tigers has just been on it longer.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
HSPA is a UMTS technology. UMTS networks are designed to be compatible for mode-switching with GSM, but they are fundamentally different technologies.

If you take a phone that has all GSM bands and no 3G support, and you insert a Bell or Telus SIM, you will get no signal. Therefore they are not GSM networks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
To put the argument to rest, 3GPP Sepcification:

Bell and Telus do not have GPRS/EDGE networks created, hence phones are not backwards compatible on those networks, you *must* have UMTS coverage to have a phone conversation if you have one of their SIMs. This however does not change the fact, UMTS is a third generation GSM technology.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
The quote says nothing of the sort. The paragraph you have quoted says that GSM and UMTS are both 3GPP specified technologies. It does not mean that UMTS is a "GSM technology". It is needlessly confusing to refer to UMTS-only networks as GSM. If a network does not support a GSM-only device, it should not be described as GSM, end of story.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolqf:
Feels like an academia perspective.

To the average consumer GSM means that that it uses a SIM. Another example is the use of 4G to mean a certain speed, yet none of today's phones are 4g phones.

I guess the question is, are we discussing real world or academia?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
If you like, I can keep finding references:

http://www.gsma.com/mobile-technology/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access

http://www.intomobile.com/2008/10/1...sm-plans-for-canada-hspa-3g-networks-by-2010/

What you are confusing is GPRS with GSM.

GSM is an umbrella standard that incorporates many different techs, INCLUDING GPRS/EDGE (2G) and UMTS/HSPA(3G).

It's the difference between saying that all poodles are dogs vs all dogs are poodles.

What you are trying to say is that Telus and Bell do not support GPRS/EDGE which is correct. They DO support HSPA/UMTS which is in the GSM standard.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] motionUS:
Thinking about making the switch. If I switch I was looking for a phone that would be better than the iPhone retina display as well as have a better camera. The Xperia S is probably the only android that beats the iPhone in these areas. Looking for some experiences from anyone who switched.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
Tough call, iphone has far more accessories and add ons.

The S camera still struggles a bit in low light, colours have a blueish blotchy look in low light, where the iphone gets a high level of grain but colour stays accurate.

For Camera speed and flexibility the S wins hands down.

And for Display the S is a little better than the iphone, nice and crisp with good contrast and sharpness. Best display I have seen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Coming from iOS to Android or vice versa is something by itself to be discussed since they are two different animals.

Xperia S has a bigger screen. Good resolution and very crisp.

I think Xperia S has a better Design, even tho I like iPhone 4S.

I like camera on Xperia S more, I took some photos with my wife's 4S and compared them and to my eyes, Xperia S had better coloring.

But I can't get my wife to switch since she likes her iPhone very much :D and I can experience the two worlds at once.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thanhdang:
I've just sold my factory unlocked iphone 4s white today and I am waitting for my Xperia S to be delivered tomorrow. I love the Xperia S design and the 12mpx camera, bigger screen and NFC.

My experience with the camera is quite opposite.. The Xperia S beats the Iphone 4S camera in any way.. Tested vs. 4S in low light environment and the iphone 4S had a really dark picture with no detail and the pics looked much brighter and crisper on my phone. Think screens a relatively comparable. Ie. the screen on Iphone 4s is very good, but still think colors a slightly better on XS.

Also love the dialer app.. Very well done..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neotarum:
Wife has already got iphone 4, which I sometimes use too so I didn't go for iphone 4s - plus the cost of the handset. The single most annoying thing about the Sony S is the battery power! How did they get 420 hours for 3g? According to gsmarena.com btw. Although I play with the phone a little too much, even if I put it aside, I don't think it would last more than two days unless I left it on flight mode! Only lost 2% battery life overnight in flight mode, where it would have probably been at least 15% normally!

Overall good, hoping for ICS to improve things further.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WhiteHartMart:
I have a 4s as well as my Xperia - plan on keeping both as I can never decide conclusively on ios or Android ;)

There are times the Xperia wins for me - screen real estate for media etc, wide screen resolution in camera and times when the iPhone suits me more due to its compact size. I've found the camera on the Xperia to have a slight edge to my eyes so it's the phone of choice on my family day out ;)

Sound quality is pretty close through headphones - I'd say with my Soundmagic E10s the Xperia might edge it for me although the iPhone seems able to drive the phones louder.

Overall though the Xperia is probably my favourite Droid so far if you're a fan of the OS you won't be disappointed.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marko68:
I sold iphone 4S and I have now the Xperia S.....it's amazing to see that the market offer a lot of better phones than iphone.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoraiden:
In my experience, the iphone 4s has more comprehensive apps however the file management system sucks, so does itunes so if you have a lot of documents or folders android is better.

The xperia s screen is better but has worse viewing angles, also after the recent firmware update my 4s battery life has at the very least doubled making it last longer than the xperia s although I'm not sure how much longer yet.

The camera of the iphone 4s is better with a lot less noise and doesn't ever crash whereas the xperia s requires better light conditions however sometimes it produces a more vibrant colour. Video I haven't tested much but the iphone 4s video is amazing whereas the xperia s is decent in terms of frame rate and some slight image stabilisation problems.

For photo and video editing apps in particular, or if you want to be able to find 3d games for example the iphone 4s is better right now. Iphoto and imovie surpass anything I've seen on google play and some 3d games haven't been updated for newer android phones so you may not be able to find games even if they're on the store. I used microsoft photosyth on the iphone 4s but it's not available on android so annoying, but all my core needs are satisfied.

The xperia s plays flash, if the flash it's playing is optimised for mobile you can even play it in full screen 1080p on a tv via HDMI however if it's not optimised standard flash video will be a bit slow.

Any other questions just ask.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
+1 for this.

I would say the cameras are a wash, pretty much the same overall. (edge to Xperia in some areas and iphone in others)

I really miss the quality/quantity of the ios apps. But I found I was getting app burnout. D/L too many redundant apps. etc.

With my use I would say the battery life is pretty much the same too.

Honestly, big reasons for swapping to the Xperia for me

iphone =

cramped screen for video and games

itunes to add anything is a PITA (ie, I want to add one video to watch and I am leaving for work in 5 min)
