[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
no problem. Get the s2 if you can wait for the next nexus (not sure about sgs3). I'm sure sgs3 will have great specs but as codeworkx (cm9 dev for sgs2) said better get a pure google phone than any other phone. A nexus phone is much easier to develop than a non nexus one. He was about to give up with samsung because he said it is very difficult to develop a phone which have touchwiz in it and very minimal support from the manufacturer. Dunno if he was joking or not but he said that if samsung will give him an sgs3 he will return it (samsung gave the sgs2 to him). He said sgs2 will be the last samsung phone he will develop in. So either get sgs2 or the next nexus phone. But if you are not into too much developing and can wait for maybe 3 - 5 months or so maybe you can wait for the sgs3. With all that said and done, sgs2 is definitely a very good phone to buy :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] burninghouse:
ok i am ready to wait bt i think galaxy s3 would be heavy on my pocket in case of cost....and also the next nexus phone..

and also i want to know which has more development((STABLE custom roms,kernels etc.,i9100 or i9100G???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
As of now i9100 since its a year old phone...i9100G will soon be takin over just a matter of time for it to be released all over the world
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Definitely i9100. It's the international version which has samsung's own exynos processor and mali 400 gpu. You'll drown in custom ROMs with i9100 :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] burninghouse:
i have heard dat i9100 has some overheating problem.is dat true????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
in version 2.3.3 some has that problem. But after you install 2.3.4 to 2.3.7 it goes away. Even in ics i can't feel any overheating. Or you can install a custom kernel like siyah or speedmod then all will be good :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] burninghouse:
and wat is the battery life of i9100??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
No way the dev will slow down unless the devs switch to sgs3
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] burninghouse:
ok so me going to buy this sexiest and fastest phone in next few days...

and one thing pls tell me dat processor of i9100 is xynos type or Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 type?????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Its a dual core A9 on an Exynos chipset
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] burninghouse:
thanks all of u for guiding me..now i cant wait to get speed of i9100 in my hands
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Make sure you get the original i9100 and not the 'G', because you will end up in the same position you are in with the i9003 being a variant of the i9000....

Also if any any i9100 users above could tell me if it faces any serious hardware problem like the i9003 rebooting problem (mainboard fault), because I might be going in for a used one perhaps, don't wanna get burned...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
i haven't encountered that yet. It's all fine here.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rockyseenu:
And i guess it will take some more time for the launch of S3... Check this link for some news along with specs of S3.. Not sure if its' legitimate.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cix18:
hey guys wat about HTC one X ????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] exz8:
Obviously in terms of powerful, Note slightly win over sii but overall for me it's worth take sii as lower of price & overall performance not far different.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] burninghouse:
still not able to find original i9100..yesterday i have gone to buy i9100..on the box was written i9100..but as i open the box there was i9100G in it....so, i refussed to buy it..STILL SEARCHING FOR ORIGINAL I9100...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Muzain:
My option is Galaxy S2

1. Same like performance

2. Small in size (easy to handle with one hand)

3. ICS supports

4. still there is a market for sell (after using 1 yr even)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Wait till next week and look for it...i'll be getting mine soon hopefully
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] burninghouse:
if u get it then please please do inform me by sending me pm..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tg2012:
Are screen protectors worth it? Or do they just leave smudges in the future when you take them off? I found a nice case on amazon that I'm going to buy for my infuse, I'm trying to figure out if screen protectors are worth it?

Anybody?

:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
The Naked Shield screen protector came highly recommended by a folk here on the forums. You can either get the full cover or just the screen (I got the screen with the body glove TPU case)

and it won't leave smudges, affects screen quality, but not by much if at all.

edit: Got mine for $3.75 on ebay ($7.00 for the body glove case)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tg2012:
Thanks,

I'm just going to get the Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case, looks nice enough for a casing. I'm not going to use a screen protector though. I just don't want to leave any marks on the screen if it does. :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
I've found that unless you put your phone in your pocket with keys that you don't really need a screen protector.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
I find it better to be safe than sorry. I remember getting a big old scratch across my iPhone just for putting it in my pocket. I know this is gorilla glass but I like the peace of mind that it offers.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
I've had my Infuse since last august or so without a screen protector and no scratches. I dropped it a couple of times but my case protects it.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
Dropped my phone facedown yesterday in a parking lot.

Not a single scratch.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tg2012:
casing or no casing? xD
[Samsung Infuse 4G] droiduzr2:
These thread are kind of pointless. I can understand the value of asking which screen protector or case protector is or are better.

It will cost you $5 to protect a $400+ piece of equipment.

What happens if your phone does get scratched...too late for a screen protector.

Gorilla glass DOES get scratched.

Apply a matt screen protector or a good quality one done the right way and you wont even notice it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
Your assuming that there are no downsides of having a protector. All though screen protectors are cheap and work well. They do affect the screen quality regardless of how well you put it on and its quality. It's personal opinion on how much it affects it though.

IMO it doesn't hurt it too much and I have one on.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JDBoogie:
Its like a sporting a condom during sex..

When the crap hits the fan.. You'll wish u had put one on. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tg2012:
I'm sorry you feel that this thread is pointless. I apologize for creating it.

I should've restated my question better I guess. I know that some screen protectors leave smudges and stickiness on the actual screen when taken them off. I was wondering if there where any high quality ones out there that are worth it.

Thanks for the response.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
If you're still looking for a screen protector I have the naked shield one. I just put it on my phone and it is great. It adds a rubbery finish but still slick when sliding. Unless you do a perfect application the screen does get imperfections that are noticible when looking at off angles (head on in low light it is not noticible)

I have an application with no bubbles and no dust and it looks great. But it is noticible.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Fee454:
No love for the Zagg screen protectors in here?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
With case. The back scratches way more easily than the screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
Doesnt the Zagg have a logo on it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Fee454:
No, i've never had a logo on my screen protectors and i've gotten many for the iphone and then for my infuse. Mine is starting to come up around the bottom of my screen now but Zagg offers lifetime warranties.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] onefabis:
Hmmm, very interesting features of Zagg's protectors. But is it glossy or matte? I really don't like fingerprints on the sun, so matte protector may reduce this paintbrush effect :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Fee454:
They may offer a matte finish i'm not sure, but mine is glossy so it does pick up fingerprints.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mike5879:
I have the zagg screnn protector too, and no it doesnt leave smudges if removed :) (only those cheap ones leave smudges/marks when removed) the zagg i got was supposed to be scratch proof...it got a scratch and since it has life time warrenty...i got it replaced-thats the only way i know that it leaves no residue :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpark32:
I like the slide unlock feature, but I would like to change the secondary (camera) option. Any way to make it a different app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adzrules:
Yes and No.

Yes, if you are rooted, you can use a custom ROM that permits this. I am a CodeName Adroid user and you can set multiple 'targets' on the lockscreen that point to whatever app you like. You can also just change the one camera shortcut to point to something else. I am sure that many other ROMs allow for this too!

No, if you are not rooted. I'm not 100% sure on this, but there are no apps or command lines that allow you to change it without being rooted first!

My advice? Try CodeName Android as a new ROM. It's awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpark32:
Bummer. Thanks for the info!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
you can use widget locker to do this, but it replaces the lock screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthewr87:
Hello everyone,

I was wondering how many of my fellow Canucks have received the 4.0.2 update. My cousin in Toronto received the OTA update last week. I am in London and have yet to receive the update. Also, do they roll it out based on IMEI number, phone number, location, etc? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got_milk:
I haven't gotten it yet, I have a feeling it's been pulled because it broke the Market somehow, and NFC was also reported to be missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthewr87:
I heard of people receiving the OTA notification in early March and then apparently it was pulled because, as you say, it was inactivating NFC and the Market. However, my cousin received his update just last week and I assumed that they had begun to release it again. The Google Play update fixed the market issue anyway, but I have not asked him if his NFC works.

It seems to me that they should just forget about 4.0.2 at this point and just wait until the next revision. Might be another several months for us Canucks though lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gns168:
With Bell and got the phone release date.

I got the update when if first appeard in Canada (early March). But had to fix the NFC issue with a patch and is working fine now.

My wife's gnex on Rogers (bought on Rogers official rls date ~ mid Jan) has not received the update however.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smeelious:
Sammy Canada confirmed it had pulled the update due to "issues"

I didn't have it about 2 weeks after the update first went live, so I gave up and flashed a 4.0.3 ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josephislee:
Same here, I didn't get it on Telus Vancouver so I flashed AOKP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthewr87:
I have limited experience in this regard, but I may just flash to CM9 once it is released. I'm disappointed that Canada is so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to these updates.

Even if they had not encountered any problems, we would have officially received 4.0.2 several months after the rest of the world right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Either flash the yakjuux 4.0.2 update yourself (see here), or flash the yakju 4.0.2 images yourself (see here). Problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OpusX11:
Apart from being on the latest and greatest, which is why many of us bought Nexus phones, is there something in 4.0.2 you really really want? I'm still on stock yakjuux on 4.0.1 and have not yet received the OTA update either, but looking at the unofficial changelogs, I don't think there is anything in the update that would change my user experience
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
USB host support and Google Wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guycaballero:
ditto on google wallet

[HTC Sensation] Pr0tectiveG0ggles:
Hey,

I need official HTC Sensation ICS RUU.

I can't use PG58IMG!

I'm S-ON , and can't install any custom ROM with ICS. Maybe I can install GB, but I prefer ICS.

I would like to use ICS, root or unrooted is wayne ^_^

Maybe someone can help me.

That would be great.

Thanks :) :D
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

First you must s-off HERE

For the recovery,use 5.0.2.0 HERE

Then ,get your ROM HERE

And use this guide HERE

A lot of work.

A lot of reading.

Do not skip ANY steps.

Read carefully,and you should be OK.

:)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
quick answer - there isn't an official ICS RUU yet, only beta ones
[HTC Sensation] Pr0tectiveG0ggles:
Can't go S-OFF. I'm on HBOOT 1.23, which is unsupported from revolutionary.

There is no official RUU? I thought HTC had released an Official RUU?!

Are there any beta RUU's?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Beta RUUs are in the Shipped-ROMs thread but come with HBOOT 1.27.0000 which you still can't S-OFF - you need to wait for Revolutionary to udpate to get S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] Pr0tectiveG0ggles:
I'm not able to flash an ICS Beta RUU?

My Sensation only have to run, I would like to sell it.

Can't sell it when it's broken x.x
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
And you can't sell it on a beta RUU either!!! That's just lying to get a sell!
[HTC Sensation] Pr0tectiveG0ggles:
I know.

But I will only that my phone works, maybe I can update in in a while to original and THAN I can sell it :D

or maybe, I can use it myself! That would be great.

But for now , there's no boot and no function.. I can't use my Sensation!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avwuff:
Thanks to lactardjosh for all of his help.

Here's a flashable CWM ZIP that adds the following to stock Telus and probably also Bell roms:

CRT screen off animation

Numerical battery indicator with round circle and charging animations (thansk to UOT kitchen)

Backup first, and clear dalvik cache. Use CWM Recovery to install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
Nice job, happy to help.

I linked to this from my thread, too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bluetint:
Just flashed this to a Bell Note (Stock ROM) and got a boot loop. Just FYI.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avwuff:
That's odd, since I got the framework-res.apk from a Bell rom. Did you clear your Dalvik cache first?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bluetint:
There is a good chance I forgot to clear the Dalvik cache. I was flashing a bunch of stuff and I easily could have forgotten. If I flash it again I'll post whether it worked or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyukki:
Any chance of getting this without the battery mod?

Also, is there a way to apply the CRT animation without CWM?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bakpedal:
Saw some threads about this in the A500 section, but anyone try this (or other) controller with the A100?

I'd love to see a list of games/apps that work with it.

I'm sure it works great with the emulators

I thought I had found the pairing/installation guide online, but now I can't find it again. So I posted the product description from GameStop's site below.

Gamestop's retail stores don't even know they are selling this online, but it's been available at least since last christmas season.

They are even planning to sell their own branded tablet for gaming.

Here's the details from their site...

===

The Wireless Tablet Game Controller is an incredible accessory only available at GameStop. Consumers can use it with their tablet and an HDMI cable (Micro to standard HDMI- sold at GameStop) to view their tablet games on their HDTV and play form their couch with the wireless controller (up to 30 feet away!). Definitely a new way to game!!

• Simple set up

• Bluetooth wireless technology

• Rechargeable unit with built in batteries and charging cable included

• Mapped control options let you assign buttons to the game actions you want

• Designed to work with select Android tablets

===
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] j.price:
Works with Version 1.3 and above of GTA III, I know because I am running it on my A100. As for other games, I am not so sure.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tsenecal:
I bought mine when i bought my a100 from gamestop before christmas.

I have used the controller with MAME4droid, Riptide GP, SpeedXGalagus and Cordy.

Riptide GP and Cordy came pre-installed by gamestop, don't know if that makes a difference or not.

controller has at least a 20 foot range as well, it works fine from across the living room with the a100 connected to the TV via hdmi cable. (SpeedXGalagus doesn't work with tv because of orientation).

only problem i have had is that the OS sees the controller as a keyboard, so some non games will refuse to show the onscreen keyboard if the controller is connected/bound.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] j.price:
Interesting, What apps? not ran into that issue myself
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
You can get the keyboard to start poping up like normal. Same thing happens for me with bluetooth mouse. Just click the little keyboard icon down in the bar by the clock and select the keyboard you want to use, and toggle the little slider switch at the top of the menu. Then your keyboard will pop up like normal. You have to do it each time, but at least you get funtionality that way.
[EVO 4G General] VenomousViper:
Hello everyone! Recently, I have discovered the art of rooting my evo 4g! I love the capabilities and advantages of rooting. Currently, I am running sinister rom rlv9. I have flashed at least 10 different ROMs by now, experimented with clock speeds (at a safe level), SU binary (learning on becoming profecient with s-off), and use of kernels and their capabilities with combination of ROMs. I have impressed quite a few people with my knowlege on evo 4g. In this light, I am currently in development of flashing sprint evo 4g to boost (getting paid for this task) and possibly Metro (for my gf). I have always been a computer nerd building my own gaming rigs. I am 30 come may, and have been knowlegeable with computers since windows 3.11 for workgroups. My current rig was made in bush era tax cuts 6 years ago. I am now making a rig with crossfire V gaming motherboard by ASUS and AMD chipsets, AMD memory ddr3 x3 4gb 12gb, 3 asus graphics cards by amd 6875 (i believe) crossfired, 16gb kingstin ssd 3rd gen sata (for boot) 750w main RMS power suppy, 350w RMS enermax power devoted to graphics, crosshairs top model water cooler, and AMD black edition 8 core 3.8ghz (planing to oc at 5ghz if possible from water cooling although it says max at 4.20ghz which i am assuming they mean aircooled). I have constructed 3 personal rigs and repaired and replaced multiple laptops for friends and family. I have taken 3 or 4 A+ classes so i know something about comp tech. My gf hates it but i love it and im making money off it. Oh and Im getting a new evo out of the deal too. So, I have now the opertunity to mess with linux code some more and tweak a total of 3 phones. I have always learned hands on by taking everything electronic apart since i was a little kid, stripped down, messed with every operating system on windows, and messed around with different properties just out of curiousity and the ablity to gain new skills. I am happy to be apart of the XDA comunity and overtime learn more about development because programming has always cought my eye and fasinated me.
[EVO 4G General] Kevtrooper:
I too am a noob when it comes to rooting your phone and flashing ROM's. I wanted to get rid of the bloatware and get more space, so I went on Google and found XDA. I found a thread to easily root my phone and I successfully rooted the phone and was able to get rid of the bloatware and gain more space. I put Titanium Backup on the phone and accidentally did something and the phone went into a bootloop when I rebooted the phone. I thought that I would have to get a new phone, but I found another thread that helped me fix the problem and get it running again. I started out with IceCream Sense v1.2 - Sense 1.0 from 00McD00 which is a great ROM and I liked the ICS feel to it. I ran it while I was waiting on a stable ICS 4.0 ROM to come out. I am currently running [ICS][STABLE][ROFL][PORT]gummyWorms ROM and my wife is running IceCream Sense v1.2 - Sense 1.0. I am a computer tech and can fix computers but am new to the rooting of phones. I just want to say thank you to everyone on XDA. Without those threads and posts from everyone on here, my phone would have been toast.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] rovex:
I have a tab and a xoom on route and i have until tomorrow to decide which i will keep.

The Xoom has good ICS ROMs and is smooth to use, no lag, no jitter, but is rather heavy.

The Tabs ive used in stores are laggy, and it seems to be the way the are, but is it really that bad? I cant live with it if it is.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
Its bad with stock firmware. With ICS rom its a lot better.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] varsas:
Personally I don't think it's that bad and it can easily be sorted by changing away from the Samsung TouchWiz launcher to another like ADW Launcher Ex or GO Launcher HD for Pad from Play Google; remember also that the number of active widgets and live wallpaper affects the lag. Samsung are also going to release ICS soon and I'd expect the lag issue to be mostly eliminated.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] rovex:
That fixes the launcher lag, but not the browser lag or lag in games and maps (which is SLOW compared to my Galaxy S2 or the Xoom). Even the ICS ROMs still seem to be slow from videos ive seen.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] varsas:
I've not had any issues with the browser or maps. Are you referring to loading or swiping? In both cases they are both quick and smooth. Are you comparing full desktop web browsing on the S2 and the GT? There's clearly a difference in the amount of content affecting loading and swiping; that also applies to maps. Additionally the store models are probably running HoneyComb 3.1.

The Xoom is officially at ICS now whereas the 8.9 is not, this is why the custom ROMs still need work, so it's difficult to judge the 2 devices fairly aside from the fact the the Xoom does not have bloatware.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] rovex:
Swiping.

Once on ICS i want to use Apex launcher as i do with my SGS2 and for now ill be happy with ADW EX on Honeycomb. Rooting and ROMing is no problem for me i must have flashed my S2 100 times! Of course the S2 is much much more powerful than the tab, but even with full desktop browsing its like butter, so is the Xoom (even on 3.1), the 8.9 is like gravel.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] varsas:
That's interesting because I've never had a problem swiping in the stock or Dolphin browsers; they've been smooth for me; did you visit sites using flash and was the flash plug-in up to date? If you get the chance to play with them both first then I'd do that to decide but the main reason I bought the 8.9 was the form factor with any lag not bothering me at all for the main functions of surfing and reading books/magazines; video playback is also excellent but I don't watch 720p video files on it, only 480p; the highest quality video I've watched is probably via Netflix.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
Stock browser on HC is crap, scrolling up and down is a pain. It is crap on gt8.9 and its even worse on gt7.7. Anyone saying it works and is good just haven't used anything else. Try the ICS rom and you will see how fast the stock browser is.

The lag you see in launcher is a known hardware problem with Tegra 2. Only difference in the case of gt8.9 is that the screen is rotated 90 degrees, so we have this problem in landscape where its more obvious, all other Tegra 2 tablets have the same problem in portrait.
