Send the epic to me.. pay for shipping back and forth and youll have a rooted epic. :D

I've recently tested my newest laptop to ensure my cable is not faulty in anyway... just odined back to stock not too long ago will do it again just in case anythings changed.. so i know i wont brick it :p oh and it wont cost 100$ #ripped-off.

asurion charges 100 bucks for a new one.....and how long do you think you would take for a service like that? would be interested.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Couple days depending on how long it takes to get to me... once I've rooted it you can tell me what you want on it and ill flash it for you and send it back.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcluvin1065:
do you think it could be the computers or the phone? the same two computers that wouldnt read my old epic arent reading these two.....the first computer i used to root my very first epic worked like a charm but im not understanding why it didnt work on these last two.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Not sure could be the drivers if you have any other mobile drivers unistall them and only install the drivers found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929

Also could be you need a new cable or need to use a different usb port if you haven't tried that. Clean the usb ports on the pc and the epic. There are some variables that can cause it not to detect.

i'm using my samsung moment cable with no problems. I got my 5th epic and thought I bricked it 3 times so far. but I popped the battery out plugged the phone into the pc and bam dl mode. but qbking has awesome videos I would try re installing the drivers. dont give up.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikalhernandez:
The computer makes all the difference in the world, believe it or not. I thought I had bricked my phone on one computer then successfully odined it on another using the same exact files I used on the first one, copied files over through my home network from one comp to the other not new downloads, and the same USB cable. Worked like a charm like it always does on that computer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] olyloh6696:
Hey guys,

My contract ends at the end of July. I've already been looking at what device to upgrade to.

I'm seriously considering the Gnex. I won't be able to afford a high-end device like One X or the Galaxy SIII, so I was kinda settling on this, or possibly the One S if it drops in price.

I'm a HTC Sense fanboy, but recently I have began to get annoyed with the way Android works. I'm frustrated that it takes OEMs ages to push out OS updates to their handsets. (E.g, my phone is getting ICS around May/June, by then Jellybean would be announced, making ICS 'old')

So basically I'm think of going the pure Google way.

My simple questions.

1) will the device still be worth it by August?

2) how futureproofed is it? Will it get official upgrades beyond Jellybean?

3) how much can I expect the rough price to be of a Gnex by Summer? (Sim-free)

4) when will Google announce the succesor? (At the jellybean event or around October?)

Thanks for the assistance :)

EDIT: sorry, this should have gone to the Q&A...! Sorry guys, hope you can still help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
depends on what you consider "worth it". Yes, it will still be just as good of a phone in August (I'll no doubt still be using mine). And especially if you're cost-constrained.

I'd be surprised if we see the next version officially after JB. But we'll see what direction Android goes in. That's a long time in the future.

Again, who knows? Its already in the mid $500's, dipping to mid $400's on deal sites. I expect it to be in the low $400's (if you're talking brand-new SIM free units) if I had to guess. But no one knows. That's at least 4 months from now.

For comparison, look at the GSM Nexus S, which still sells for just shy of $300 unlocked right now coming up on 1.5yrs old.

They announce a Nexus with each launch of Android. Probably again in October/November 2012. We may hear about JB earlier than that, but they launch the Nexus to actually release the new OS version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] olyloh6696:
Hello guys, its August now, and my contract is up.

Is this still worth it then? Any help is appreciated.

My other alternative is the One S...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordache16:
Well I know several carriers/retailers in the US are now offering the Nexus free with new 2-year contract, so if you find the same type of deal in the UK then I would say it is definitely worth it.

Edit: Should have read your OP closer. Looks like the sim free Nexus off contract is still around $500 in the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
The galaxy nexus is still worth it, and imo the best smartphone you can buy. Although if you can wait 3 months maybe, the next nexus should be releasing November/December and it might be better to use your contract on that phone instead of the $350 current nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] olyloh6696:
Cheers guys! Been leaning towards this as well. The phone is on a 2 year contract, so my worry is, after 2 years, will the phone still get Google support? I mean, how much more can android advance now?

What else are they going to add, which will require more powerful hardware?

The next nexus is likely to be based on The S3, and there doesn't seem to be a huge change In performance.

Hmmm..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
If your other choice is the One S, I'd still go for the Gnex. You can be sure that it will be supported longer than the One S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordache16:
Well with the Nexus being a 'pure' Google phone I would think it will be supported longer than other devices but the thing to keep in mind is this has been out for 9 months already, so I wouldn't expect much in the official update department come a year or year and a half from now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
To this day there is still no phone available that I would take over my Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
Bingo! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
First things first :)

1. Its surely worth it to buy a GN. I played with my friends SIII and it sucks. It looks like a ugly white big egg. My GN performs a lot better than his SIII

2. We will get future android support yes. Imagine that the nexus s has official jellybean support.

3. I bought mine for only $403. Do you know sweet that is for such a beauty of a smartphone :)

Once you buy a nexus phone you will never go to a non nexus phone again... ( who agrees with me)

Andddd you will get the best custom roms and kernels, because we have the best developers. Also a GREAT community.

But see for yourself ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wicozani:
+1000!

I just came off a 2-year Verizon contract with my Droid X, and purchased a Play Store GNex GSM (unlocked) version for $376 or so (with taxes and shipping). I am using a $30/mo. T-Mobile Monthly 4G prepaid plan (100 minutes, unlimited data and texts) SIM card with this phone, but T-Mobile is not in my area, so I mostly roam on AT&T, which is the only local GSM provider (and with whom T-Mobile have a roaming agreement). Read the thread $30/mo. phone plan thread, and learn how you can easily live within the parameters of the TMO plan that I describe. There are lots of folks available to help you with VoIP issues/setup.

I must say that my Droid X was a real workhorse for me, with a very high quality build. Despite the locked bootloader, I ran over 15 different ROMs on it, from Froyo and up to and including multiple Ice Cream Sandwich roms. My wife also had the Droid X, but is very tough on her phones, and burned through 3 of them in 2 years. The GNex is definitely not built as solid as the Droid X, but I baby my electronics and think the GNex will suit me wonderfully. However, my wife just got the SGSIII 2 days ago, and I seriously doubt that it will last 6 months. Talk about a plastic phone! Though the hardware is better, our modded GNex devices will run much better than an unmodded SGSIII. Take the plunge, I don't think you'll regret it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fooman123:
Word of advice -- never use that phrasing when talking talking about your GF/Wife...

I will only ever buy a Google supported phone -- the best hardware in the world is not worth it - if its not supported. Look at how quickly companies turn their back on a device once they have a new model that has as its main selling point the latest version of android.

They are in the business of selling phones, not making geeks happy. And the carriers are in business of milking their customers like a bunch of cows -- so its not their interest either. Folks give google a hard time, but hey -- they are the only company out there that is not trying to screw me while bragging about how awesome they are..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
As much as I love my Nexus we are getting VERY close to Q4 and the next Nexus could be coming by November. If you can, stick it out and get that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
There probably will be new nexus with beefed up specs and everything.. if you're fine with older specs or need cheaper device, gnex is a beautiful device... however, if I were you, I will wait for next nexus :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Really, until the next Nexus is for sale, its hard to suggest any other phone than the GNex as a complete package.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asb123:
Its not worth it to start a 2 year contract with right now. If I were you, I would buy the Gnex from google for $350. And then, sign up for a 2 year deal for an s3. Then promptly sell the unopened s3 for a profit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordache16:
Based on all the rave reviews I am seeing on here about everyone loving their GNex; what from a hardware perspective could make it worth waiting for the next Nexus?

I mean obviously there are some things that the GNex is missing that would be nice, HDMI and micro SD are two things that come to mind. It sounds like the GNex has an amazing display and is the ideal size (even though it is pentile), so I suppose there is potential for a slight improvement in that department. I am assuming they would throw a quad core in the next one, but from what I have read, performance is not really an issue with the GNex. I'm just not sure that it would really be worth the wait as I don't think the next one is going to be nearly as big of an upgrade that it was going from the single core smartphones that many of us had before to the GNex.

Another way I look at these types of things is the sooner you upgrade after your contract expires the better b/c then you get the next upgrade that much sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
My GF has the Galaxy Nexus, I have HTC. We both went to an outdoor event where it was really dust, the grounds were dirt.

She used her phone all day, I used mine a few times.

By the end of the day, my HTC had dust UNDERNEATH the glass screen! However, her's had no such problems.

My brother says that the high end Samsungs are sealed air-tight.

My next phone will be either the Galaxy S 4 or next gen Nexus. No more HTC for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TECK:
Just get a GN from Play Store for 350$. Next year you will get a great deal on the new GN model, if you want it. I personally don't like to have contracts so I'm sticking with phones purchased directly from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I currently have a galaxy nexus which i've had for 10 months, I'm skipping the next nexus and getting the one afterwards. I did this when I had the nexus one, skipping the nexus s. If you do get a nexus I suggest you do the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icebear8:
i just bought my nexus in late july and i am very happy with it, since verizon is forcing us off the unlimited contract if we sign another 2yr contract to get a phone discounted i will not be upgrading until the new nexus phone comes out (which i would be force to pay the full price and if it even hit's verizon) or unless a new Keyboard phone comes out with a screen that is bigger then 4.3inch and runs jelly bean
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zixin:
I got my Nexus last year December, my 1st android device! All I can say is that I really enjoy this device, some friends have the SIII now and I think they all would swap for Nexus anytime.

Its a great phone!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phonex1:
If you can wait, wait for the next nexus.

If not, buy the galaxy nexus.

Do not buy any thing else if you want pure stock experience.

Loading CM or AOKP or heck even CWM on my GS3 has me splitting hairs. Flash counters, IMEI bonanza, blah blah blah. Not worth it. Nexus kills everything for me. I learned my lesson the hard way. Should have never sold my nexus.

The GS3 is going on sale the moment i get my hands on the next nexus. Good riddance to cheezewiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blahb:
field Thenzy

Agreed and good idea. I bought my mint VZ GNex for $420 in February, sold my T-bolt for $195, used my upgrade on a Razr MAXX before share everything to lock in unlimited data and sold it unopened. Ended up making $230 profit after all taxes and fees which I'll use next time I upgrade.

After using stock Android on the GNex I don't ever plan to go back to a skinned device. I love my GNex but figure I'll sell it around February again and buy another Nexus if they have one with CDMA support.

If you're going this route make sure you take good care of your new GSM GNex so you can get top dollar when you decide to sell it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Duce HD2:
I just bought mine yesterday for 320, new condition, phones only a 2 weeks old. Lucked out. I had the S2 from sprint prior for 10 months, great phone, but I'm already in love with GN. I think I'll stick with this line for a long time now. Well worth getting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
From what I learned, micro sd won't be in there, because of performance decrease or something.... I doubt that hdmi would be in there too... maybe be an accessory for next nexus... I do believe that Google might put tegra 3 quad core processor, just like nexus 7.

Of course, these are just educated guess
[General Questions and Answers] snakepaws:
I want to sell a my Nexus S. I'm worried about getting scammed through Amazon/ebay, though. How exactly do I protect myself? Is there a particular shipping method I should request through USPS or just make sure it gets signature confirmation or what?

I'm guessing that taking pictures of the phone, the box, the phone in the box, the serial number on the phone and in the box, and the IMEI of the phone while it's booted up would be a good idea. Maybe I should record a video of me at the post office placing the phone in its box and then packing the box in the shipping box and shipping it?

I'd rather not have someone claim that they didn't receive it, or say that it was broken and then send me back a different/broken phone or a box of rocks.

Searched but didn't see a question like this around here.
[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] summersab:
This is likely a development question, but I've not posted enough to use that forum - sorry . . .

Up front, I'll be honest that I've never written an Android app. My background is more traditional Linux scripting and system administration. I do know the basics of Java, though.

What I want to do is be able to map arbitrary keycodes to execute custom commands. I purchased a Bluetooth numeric keypad, and with CM7, I am able to sync it and generate key events. However, they're not mapped to anything, so it's pretty useless. My hope in buying this product was the ability to map the keys to input events and be able to control my phone (Maps, IME, etc) while my phone is docked in my car so I'm not doing the "distracted driving" thing. So, is there a way I could code an app/service that would capture key/scancodes and execute user-defined commands (such as screen events)? Further, could this service change its behavior when the IME is active, allowing me to map the keys to the on-screen keyboard? I use a T9 app, and if the program could map to screen events when the IME is active allowing me to type T9 on a physical keyboard, that would be amazing.

Any pointers to a non-developer? Would anyone be interested in assisting?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doughnut643:
SIM Card

Im sure the phone boots on the stock rom without a sim card. Wifi usually gives you better speeds than tmos hsdap for now.

If you really need a sim card you can always buy a cheap prepaid tmobile phone at walmart or wherever and take the prepaid sim from the phone and put in your mytouch 4g. All will be well, sir :rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbowlmania:
Honestly, you don't need a sim card to mess around with the phone. You can access the stock rom without a sim card and use wifi for your data. If you want to be able to place calls or text, you can walk into a t mobile store and ask to setup a prepaid account. If they ask you what phone, just say you already have a GSM phone. That'll be about 20 bucks a month. If you have att as your carrier, then you can unlock the mytouch and stick your att sim card in it.
