[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
that's great but unfortunately i guess it's only a tweak of the sensation's stock camera.

which means that we would still need an official ICS rom for our phone to be able to (maybe) enjoy the same tweaks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
im running desensed 1.1.3 and flashed the virtuous inquisition file it worked but still no 1080p video it force closes......but the iso 1250 is now present in the camera menu
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
this does enhance picture quality my previous pics were about 1.5 mb where now they are about 4.5 mb
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
I'm fairly certain that we actually have the Amaze's camera, and not the Sensation's camera.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
no definetly not the amaze camera it is almost identical to stock mt4gs camera. You can take a look here:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
Cool, definitely bumped the pic size up to about 2.5 MB, even using ICS camera app. Now my question is, does anyone know what the size is on stock doubleshot?

Edit: nevermind, the size on stock DS camera is about 1.5 MB! So with this mod, the camera on pyro ice may be better than stock DS! Camcorder is still out, obviously, but still cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
I thought I share this. Amazon.com now has the Samsung i9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB (Unlocked, GSM) Fulfilled by Amazon for $530 with free shipping. Their normal and very fair return policy applies. One may find it a few dollars cheaper elsewhere, but it is hard to go wrong with Amazon.

For comparison, Daily Steals (no customer service) had it for $535 only a couple weeks ago. Expansys has it for $570.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dan in la:
This is really tempting

I agree that it's totally worthwhile to buy direct from Amazon even if it's not the absolute cheapest price. Right now there are three different Fulfilled by Amazon sellers competing against one another, which makes me think prices may drop even more soon.

Has anyone tried to return a defective phone that they bought Fulfilled by Amazon? I would think they would handle that well, but I'd like to hear people's actual experiences.

Also, would these phones be under warranty? Presumably they were originally marketed overseas. Would that mean I have to deal with an overseas branch of Samsung, or would I be totally out of luck?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
The Fulfilled by Amazon item I linked to uses Amazon's return policy. I didn't check the other ones. Returning even a non-defective phone should be no problem as I have done in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannypp:
If amazon somehow helped with the warranty like expansys does, I would get this immediately, but I imagine that its the same issue as before.

Anyone know more about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
You can register the device and its serial number on samsung.com as bought from Amazon, which is an authorized Samsung US reseller. You can then initiate warranty claims directly with Samsung. No need to go through Amazon. In contrast to Expansys, this will also mean a quicker turn-around on the warranty claim. Registering directly with Samsung also adds 3 months to the warranty period for a total warranty of 15 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
So what's important here is that it is fulfilled by amazon and not the fact that it is being sold by a different company (FGS Trading in this case)?

You still get the same warranty and can register your product as being purchased over amazon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
Really? Is this true?

Man, then I think I'm going to hold off on buying it from ebay and wait for amazon's price to go down a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
Source? I've called Samsung's international number, and was told that your receipt must show that the phone was purchased in the country that will handle warranty claims (which excludes the US).

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Same here....they said warranty has to go through the phones intended country of use + you have to show receipt that it was purchased in that country.

All amazon offers over some of the other deals sites is that you'll probably be able to make a return if needed. But I doubt any warranty will be provided.

AT&T 3G/4G Compatible?

Is this phone is compatible with AT&T 3G?

Will this phone be compatible with AT&T 4G LTE?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
ATT 3G yes, ATT 4G LTE no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dan in la:
British websites

If you bought from a UK website and had it delivered here, would you be able to get warranty service via Samsung UK?

Handtec has the phone for 335 pounds, plus 15 pounds shipping to the US. According to Google, 350 pounds is currently worth $555. So you'd be essentially paying $25 for a UK warranty. To make this work, you'd also need a credit or debit card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kiersten_Kress:
does anybody know if the Galaxy Nexus GSM mentioned in this thread

were originally the European or Asian version?

ThankS! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
I registered my GSM Galaxy Nexus just fine on samsung.com. When entering the serial numbers the manufacturing date shows up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
When I tried to register a Nexus, it gave me the Verizon one instead, not the GSM one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Yep...the GSM model number isn't on the US site to begin with. Also entering a GSM serial comes up as invalid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
According to androidcentral.com a regional carrier in Iowa is getting the GN tomorrow for $609.99. This is your chance if you want a US warranty.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Or instead of going to Iowa, you buy it from a deal site for $460 and just get insurance or don't break your phone.

http://mobile.dailysteals.com/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
That doesn't include a defect out of box. And I haven't seen a US cellphone insurance company that would insure grey market devices or be able to replace a broken galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Squaretrade does at least. Lots of people here have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luftrofl:
Had to do this once. It was a clean, fast experience. Overall, very happy with Amazon.

That said, I would recommend against "fulfilled by Amazon" for phones - even the sellers with high ratings sell refurbished phones but claim them to be new.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
You should double check with squaretrade. I've spoken to various reps there who insist they don't cover a phone that doesn't have a US manufacturers warranty. I can technically buy insurance on their site easy but I'd be cautious of any fine print that leaves you out in the cold basically paying insurance for no reason.

Maybe someone can chime in if they've had an actual successful insurance claim with squaretrade & galaxy nexus. I've been looking to get insurance but again I've been told no by squaretrade. I've also been extremely clear with them with what phone I'm trying to get insured.

As a side note they do cover eBay stuff but not sure how that holds up against the lack of US warranty policy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kiersten_Kress:
I figured the best way was to call Samsung USA directly.

After my call was transferred to 3 different reps, a supervisor came on and told me that the GSM Galaxy Nexus will NOT receive free warranty service. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
In my particular case, I don't care much about warranty because it would be impossible for me to ship it again to the US from my country..

What I do care most is this:

I do need to buy it from a reputable seller and make sure that there are little chances in receiving a refurbished or defective phone.

Has anyone had a bad experience with a phone "fulfilled by amazon"?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1cewolf:
I've been thinking about getting a Galaxy Nexus, so I e-mailed Squaretrade to see what they'd say. Turns out you're right:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kiersten_Kress:
"fulfilled by Amazon" only means that the seller has shipped the product to Amazon's distribution warehouse. The product sits there until you order it... Amazon puts it in a box and UPS/FedEx Ground ships it to yo.

There is no guarantee that the phone you receive is 100% brand new and unused. (speaking from personal experience) However, the advantage is that you can return it to Amazon and get a full refund(including shipping both ways) if this ever happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
So in case I need to return the phone, Amazon takes care of my refund, including shipping from my country (argentina) to the US? hmm.. it sounds a bit strange.

However, I think I don't even care if it is cheaper in Amazon, or if the seller has 5 star rating. I'm still leaning towards buying from a recommended seller, such as Negri or Expansys. They both have great positive feedback in these forums (I think Negri the most) and I would be lowering the risk of receiving a refurb or defective one.

Sory if I'm derailing a bit, I just need to think out loud to hear some opinions in this matter.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cabal_:
$520 and dropping!

Edit: Amazon plays games, I see one that listing back up to $525, and two others down to $520. Whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kiersten_Kress:
and it'll keep on dropping because the Samsung Galaxy S III is coming out soon!

Verizon Wireless gave me the Galaxy Nexus free of charge(to replace my crappy Droid Charge). If Galaxy S III makes it to Verizon, I'll definitely buy it with cash, which is just as good as money, I think. :)
[HTC One S] devgee:
What do you think will the s4 be more faster than tegra.?
[HTC One S] craig0r:
I'm sure the S4 in the One XL will be faster than the Tegra 3, but the Tegra having 12 GPU cores will give it better gaming performance. But for straight up computational power, the S4 will probably emerge on top. I'm curious to see the One S and One XL compared in benchmarks.
[HTC One S] unclespoon:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5563/qualcomms-snapdragon-s4-krait-vs-nvidias-tegra-3/1
[HTC One S] Daniel:
Most probably. Not
[HTC One S] newbieandroid:
It is faster than it because most applications aren't optimized for more than 2 cores just like how programs on desktops aren't optimized for more than 4 cores. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 is faster clock for clock which makes it better and I'm sure they have a quad core SoC which I hope to see in tablets. I can't wait to see the performance of the next Exynos chip from Samsung.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
not only faster, but is it also more energy efficient due to lower manufacturing process? (28nm)

imho: less pixels to push, better efficiency per clock, amazing body = One S

the S4 will be faster than Tegra3 when it's in quadcore and has the Adreno 3xx.
[HTC One S] jodue:
depends on your definition of "faster".

as far as we know at the moment the per core performance of the s4 is definitely (quite a lot) higher than that of tegra 3. synthetic benchmarks that distribute the load equally on all 4 cores (e.g. antutu) favour the one x (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MELsb7neD2o) however in real life tasks (e.g. web page rendering) i'd expect the s4 to be faster as they normally don't scale well to multiple cores.

originally i was hyped for quad core cpu's in smartphones but i have to say atm i actually prefer the s4 over tegra3. better per core performance and the better battery life coming with 28nm make the s4 my winner!

let's wait and see what the first browser speed comparisons show. i will pick up the one s most definitely...
[HTC One S] ironlady:
In single-threaded applications, then yes. Else Tegra 3 will beat the S4 in every possible way if 3 or 4 cores are used. Think of using DMIPs and real world situations instead of benchmarks, benchmarks can lie. If battery life is in concern, then S4 would be the better chip.

Tegra 3 - 2.5 DMIPs x 4

S4 - 3.3 DMIPs x 2
[HTC One S] jodue:
actually DMIPS is an antiquated measure http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMIPS . you cannot directly infer processing power from that and by no means 'real world' performance. as i sated before there are only few tasks that scale well to multiple cores and as the per core performance of the s4 is much better i don't expect tegra3 to 'beat' the s4 in practical use.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suryashis:
I have obtained the original HTC Flip clock widget stock app of htc wildfire s from its rom. However whenever I try to install the apk in my sony ericsson neo v it says application not installed. I request all you android gurus out there to give me a work around so that I can install this app in my mobile. I have attached the original stock apk here and along with it I have attached a launcher pro widget which looks exactly like htc clock but it does not allow changing weather server. That server always shows weather in calcutta as haze.
[LG Optimus Black] duke_dreadmoore:
can I please request Froyo v10g (or later) Original ROM? (flashable via CWM, deodexed, zip aligned)..

I found froyo is still interesting because better battery life (my opinion, how bout u guys?), and we can use g-button to wake up perfectly..

Please help guys, I wanna try that, because It's to difficult to downgrade the phone and rooting again.. many thanks

sorry if wrong section, but I think development section is the most appropriate..
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
since this is a request, it has nothing to do in dev section. you should have post in q&a or gen.

whatever, you can downgrade with 10e binaries via smartflash. browse my files to find the necessary

[Motorola Photon 4G] horn34:
So I'm stuck and need some help. Here's what happened:

I had the last latest joker CM9 on the phone. It worked OK, but I wanted to go back to stock.

I used RSD Lite to flash the 2.3.4 stock rom. That worked with no errors

When I pulled the battery, powering on results in a boot loop. Red M logo, then pulsing M logo, then phone shuts off. Repeat.

I can't boot into CWM, I get the android with a yellow exclamation logo

The phone is unocked

What do I do now? I've tried re-flashing 2.3.4 with the same result.
[Motorola Photon 4G] horn34:
Nevermind, I figured it out. I forgot you can get past the android/exclamation logo by pushing volume up/down together. I did a factory reset and now I'm back in 2.3.4.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Trust me, you dont know how hard I cried until I figured this out!!! I thought it was an error and my Photon was a brick!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] zeguym:
Same with me, flash with RSDLite form CM9 without wipe data. After flash using RSDLite, its bootloop.

When entering recovery, there is only yellow exclamation. At first, i think photon does not has recovery at all, but when pressing both volume button, it enter to stock recovery.

Wipe data from that recovery
[Motorola Photon 4G] j91hernandez:
OMG

I was soo stressed out all day... I was in CM9 all good and stuff, then I went to go flash some stupid zip and accidentally formatted my recovery... (IDK how but it was gone) ANYWAY.... I did the same thing as you and it worked!

if not for this post i probably would have never figured it out. I give you a genuine thank you.:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] slightlyevolved:
Yeah, this post totally saved my rump.

Me and my rump, thanks you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mfsmith:

Thank you much horn34
[Motorola Photon 4G] riceeeeeeeeee:
Thank you!
[Motorola Photon 4G] justinsch03:
Fingers crossed

Did the same thing you descibed. Unfortunately im on my fifth sbf flash, so when that is done, I will give your method a try and hopefully it will work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
In case you're unaware, after SBF and before first boot, do a factory reset. Many boot issues after SBF can be cured this way.

I want to have many apps on phone and install roms,play games and browse internet.So what do you recommend?

Sorry for my bad english

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] emmanuelcassar:
Just by the New Xperia Mini or Live with Walkman they aren't expensive.. the x10 mini has a better camera than the x8 but smaller screen size.. x10 mini is a great phone.. but by time it is becoming underpowered. x10 mini still great phone though ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] moca1337:
can i play csmini on it?gta 3 pes/fifa?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] XGr7078:
Don't know about CSmini but sure you can play pes and fifa and for gta 3 you get fc.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ales47:
On mini pro you can play pes and gta 3. On the x8 you coulnd play gta since there is no real multitouch. On the mini pro its hard to play becouse of the small screen.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jodhaniohm97:
Buy Xperia Mini!

Wait for some time till u have enough money! Its worth waiting!

Xperia mini has both goods of x10 mini and x8 and yet more powerful with its 1ghz processor , multitouch, braviaengine and updates of future android versions!!!!!

Due to small screen the games on x10 mini is not a fun!

So i personally recommended u to wait for some days and buy a smartphone that u wont regret in future!!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] OmegaRED^:
It's a stunning little device... but budget may be a issue.

If you need MT you may get lucky with a x10 mini pro with Dualtouch but the screen and keyboard are horridly tiny.

The x8 is better if you just need a phone to mess around with.. take calls ect.. watch vids or listen music basic touch games.. if your lucky BuggyDualTouchTM

Screen is a bit bigger but has the same cpu as x10MP or X10M.

If you have the cash Xperia Mini PRO...

same Xperia ARC chipset. bigger screen ect.. :)

XD That is pretty much big power..
[G2 and Desire Z General] namelessname:
In my time lurking, I've seen multiple people say they sent back rooted phones to T-Mo and it went unnoticed. This made me wonder if they actually checked or not so I just wanted to know your opinions. I'm starting to think that you could probably get away with it if you just flashed a stock Gingerbread rom. I'm starting to find it quite amusing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tanveer_:

I hope not, that way I will be screwed if something happens to the phone, i dont think I even have warranty to begin with.

If Tmobile are clever they most likely to do check it

I've send mine back a while ago because the screen became black and wouldn't come up again. Was running Virtuous Unity at that moment but still they repaired the problem and didn't touch my custom ROM.

Maybe if it is a software problem the repair company investigates further what happened to it?

Possibly, but I figured they would at least check. It's like all bark and no bite really.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] devgee:
What do you think will the s4 be more faster than tegra.?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mr. Sakkaro:
There are benchmark results everywhere on interweb.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=anandtech+S4+benchmarks#
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Red5:
It seems so according to all the recent benchmarks. Although, those are in a tested environment and not in a "real world" environment... so we need to wait for the phone to come out and actually run it in the wild.

But so far, it looks like the S4 Krait does out perform the Nvidia 3... now the question is, which one is better on battery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
It's hard to say which one is better... The S4 will likely be more efficient due to the 28nm process. Those lost nanometers can save a surprising amount of power, giving signals less distance to travel and that much less voltage. The trump card in this is the Ninja core in the Tegra, it kicks on when your phone is idle, and is super low voltage. All things considered it doesn't do much that a governor can't do for your processor. I know my Captivate often downclocked to extremely low, like 400mhz whenever I wasn't using it. Just enough to keep its figurative heart beating.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Turn off LTE and S4 Krait wins by a blowout.

Nvidia has 4 cores on a high power process that is inefficient at low speeds and uses more power at idle. The 5th core is on a low power process that gets less efficient the more power you push through it.

S4 Krait is two cores on a low power process, and in testing the vast majority of the time the phone has only one core running at sub 1 GHz speeds, and when idling it sits at around 200 MHz before going to deep sleep.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ZeroRilix:
With my experience with my Vivid, LTE cannot be shut off. There is not a switch to turn it off. I live in a non LTE area and would shut it off if I could but I can't. They might write the software on this one the same way. That's why I'm gonna pay a premium and get an unlocked T3 X. But still, with this S3 and LTE that can't be shut off, I'm still getting great battery life out of this thing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
With AT&T and their deliberately annoying lockout on the ability to set the radio to WCDMA preferred, GSM Auto (PRL), or GSM only, the only solution here is to set up an HSPA+ APN on the phone, which will make sure that your phone never tries to search for LTE.

I know for sure that the phone is fully capable of disabling LTE, it's kissing cousin the Rezound can do so in the phone info menu (*#*#4636#*#*)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fernando sor:
Lte for the rezound and droid charge can be disabled under network settings.
