thank you! great.

I have about $300 saved from selling my VZW Droid. I'm almost there.

This will show my ignorance, but will it do AT&T 4G LTE, too?

Any other choices?
[Android General] bracca:
also, 5-6 months ago when I was considering the Nexus when I was still with VZW, there were complaints about the radio being weak. Even I went into a VZW store and the settings were showing -105dB and almost every other device, including the cheapest Pantech, were in the mid to high 70s.

How is the radio strength/quality on GSM version now?
[General Questions and Answers] jollyo55:
Hi guys, so maybe an extremely retarded question (since I haven't found anything to help me no matter how hard I looked), but why can't I go into SU mode?

I have a HTC Sensation recently updated to ICS. Debugging mode is activated and I installed Terminal Emulator from the Play Store. However, almost anything I write in the console gets the reply "Command name" : Not Found. So if I try su for example I get " su: Not Found". I activatet non-market app installation, in case it has any relevance but I still get Not Found on anything I tried (except for ls and pwd).

I'm doing this in order to see whether I can unlock my phone using the first method described here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1232107

Can anyone help, please? Sorry if I haven't searched long enough and there actually is an answer. I've even looked on the documentation page of terminal emulator but I didn't find anything on this.

Thanks!

I have a sensation so I can help you out there

First things first next time post in the sensation forum.

Next what are you trying to do. That guide is to sim unlock your phone not to root it. How did you update to ICS was it over the air or did you install a custom rom. If it was over the air then you aren't rooted your following the wrong guide. You need to root it first following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 that guide
[General Questions and Answers] jollyo55:
First of all sorry for posting in the wrong forum, the "noob" video on registration scared and confused me a lil' bit :D

Okay so I got it all wrong then, I firstly want to root the phone, I was under the impression that root automatically does sim unlock and that they're basically the same thing. Sorry about that. Okay so I first do the root, my other question is, would that (except for voiding my warranty) get me to lose anything? Like, I'm on a UK contract with Vodafone and I've got 500MB web usage monthly, would I need to set that connection up manually after rooting or will everything stay as it is, except for the fact that I've got root permissions?

As I said, I'm only starting out with Android tinkering which is why I'm happy following instructions on what, when and where I need to do :confused:

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] imblacklife:
Lol no problem welcome to XDA :D

Sim unlock is an extra process it isn't needed but its all about personal preference. I don't know how things work over in the UK but over here I can put an AT&T sim card in my HTC Sensation (I have T-Mobile) and not have to go through the process of calling into AT&T and ask for an unlock code in order to use the phone.

Your connection and everything stays as is.

Happy Flashing

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Djapatos:
not that,not that great

That's what happened when you have high expectations of anything... you get disappointed. Personally, I think they could have done a better job. Yea they have some cool new features, but there should have been more. And that siri like voice thing is a fail.. they should have copied that.

Had no expectations and I'm still disappointed.

I don't need a phone to tell me which of the captured photos is the "best"

one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
I felt certain things can be better but that eye recognition & pop out player was amazing to me (if you can do it with all videos like YouTube, etc.) I'll sell my other SII today...

But I might hold off til they get a 1080p display because I'm not jumping ship for a 720p display
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
I'm debating whether i should wait for the GS3 to be released and export it, or to buy the galaxy nexus now. It's kinda disappointing that its almost the same screen as the nexus, and the back of it looks like SHI*.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
On a 4.8in screen, I don't think the eye can determine the difference between 1080p and 720p. The difference is literally microscopic. On a 60inch TV you can for sure tell the difference though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I was impressed with the eye sleep option, liked the continuous flash that determines the best photo. Like that you can pick up the phone while texting and it automatically calls someone. Also like the quad core processor. It apparently has gotten impressive benchmark scores. The ICS with touchwiz looked pretty good to me, along with the additional toggles as well. All in all I was happy with what they released.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] masamichi7:
Honestly, it would be my absolute dream phone if only it had two things: a NOTIFICATION LIGHT/LED, and of course AOSP. Fortunately, one of those can be fixed with ongoing development, but BLN just doesn't quite fill the void for me. I miss that notification light. :/ otherwise, I like the curvy simplicity of it, and the dark blue finish rather than flat black is a nice choice!

-the ultimate black dragon-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
Even on a 60 inch screen it is nearly impossible to tell. Its just all part of marketing and wanting to have the "best"

As far as the phone, I am honestly not that impressed, I think the GN is still the better choice, sure it may have nice specs and all, but when it cokes down to it. We need a phone that will have the latest software and this will he no different than the pickle we're in right now. We'll be behind again in about 3 months with next OS. Nexus all the way for me from now on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Djapatos:
Hmmm... just got an awesome idea to make money of this phone... so I know will love this phone except of course the plastic feeling so I m about to invest in making ceramic or metal back covers... looks like I m finally gonna be rich... mwahahaha

Not impressed..... Going to hold off for the new nexus instead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fadilkarim:
Of course, samsung did a great job; however, i think ill just be sticking with my gs2 for now. In the US, it'll most probably get a Qualcomm dual core processor so besides a few improvements from the gs2, its nothing major. but definitely a nice phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mauserruger:
Reply

I dont feel theres nearly enough improvements to justify upgrading :( sure would be fun to have something new tho haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cire253:
im torn, I like alot of the new feature the phone offers, but the phone looks like a nexus/gs2, nothing drastic like we all hoped for. Kind of like a iphone 4s imo. What do you guys think about the upcoming nexus phone? that might be the game changer, since rumors has it that it will be a upgraded version of the s3.

when does google usually unveil the nexus phones? at their google io thing in june?

just my 2 cents
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rclrcl44:
Disappointed

Overall - disappointing.

Great performance and features - absolutely!. 2100mA battery should = longer usage times (even with 4 faster cores). HD res is great. Improved UI. Some very nifty accessories. 8mp camera is fine as improved software & performance makes the picture - though Carl Zeiss optics would have been great.

4.8 screen getting too big for a phone. Was hoping for an ultra thin bezel hence reducing size.

But pentile matrix? Heavier? Thicker? No quality materials? Old Mali GPU? No LTE? 1Gb RAM? And featureless design? Very, very poor for a flagship phone that's meant to be setting the standard...

Heavier I understand (bigger battery weighs more). But there's HD Super Amoled plus on tab7.7 - why pentile here? Competition has phones 6.9mm thick. HTC, Sony, even Motorla & Huawei have better designs (not to mention Apple) and materials. So it's not as if any of this wasn't achievable.

I have a SGS 1 & 2. The S2 was well ahead of the competition, bar materials and uninspiring design. Was looking forward to a groundbreaking S3 on all fronts. It's very good, but good isn't good enough these days.

Samsung needed to tick more boxes to place this phone undisputably out in front leaving others to catch up & not easily surpass.

In no rush to get one now, and possibly might not. Will wait to see the competition - eg: Sony Ion, HTC, even (lord help me) Apple; or maybe wait for SGS4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DannyB513:

Hello everyone, I can't find a Nandroid for Moto DEFY, for be more precise its the Defy Plus Ported for Normal (old) DEFY with red lent... All I remember it was a German Firmware with GB 2.3.5

It was uploaded to W.U. but its broken now.

And i cant find it on XDA.

Thx for your time.

Edit 06/05/2012: Solved, red lents are compatible with defy+ firmware, so I just installed a retail FW for Defy+ and works great. For green lents, it need to be moddified.

Thank you in advance.

I made a backup with clockwork recovery before I installed the r2.

Too many fails for my taste. I don't want to pay over $700 (off contract) for 2011 years tech. May get it if there are a lack of alternatives though. I just don't want to pay premium prices for something that i don't think match my premium expectations. If they just got the screen right.........

[Galaxy S III General] surveysays:
after seeing what this phone has to offer.. i think it'll prob be best to just hold off for the new nexus phone thats going to be released later this year with google jelly bean on it. i currently have a nexus s with ics and everything is fine for now. the nexus galaxy was not worth the upgrade for me. the galaxy 3 is pretty much a new version of the nexus galaxy for the most part. i think holding off for just a lil bit longer will be my best option seeing as i have a device that can still do and function as i need it to.

No. Had the Nexus and wasn't happy with the battery.

I'm going with the One X with the S4. Beautiful display, and I like the new Sense.

I might go for the Sprint version. 2000 mah and micro SD.
[Galaxy S III General] Ripley:
All the software crap I won't use, I just want a superfast phone that weighs f*ck all and has an amazing screen for browsing, games and porn.

"never worry about the backlight going off with our eye sensor" well for years i've set my phones to never go dark, so that's no use to me.

"simply start writing a text message to a contact, then lift the phone to your face and the phone will auto dial" how about just clicking phonebook and then the persons name, then lift the phone to your head? Lol no use again.

NFC well that isn't a first

I can't remember anything else so nothing groundbreaking to remember. I'll try one out though, it's certainly light, and should be ultra fast. Hopefully touchwiz 4 will feel more grown up
[Galaxy S III General] itspb:
You guys think SGS3 is a fail because it did not live up to the expectations?! What expectations sir, what expectations?! All the rumors, all the hype? Do i need to remind all of you that all that is created by us and Samsung is in no way obliged to launch its products according to those rumors!?
[Galaxy S III General] itspb:
You should get an iPhone
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
The space is not actually that big; it's about the same as the ["awkward", as someone earlier called it] space between the screen and hardware buttons on the S3 (maybe the latter is a tiny bit smaller). Hardware buttons do not come for free, after all; extra stuff has to be installed, and that means either a smaller screen or a larger phone.

I disagree that the extra space "needs to" be there. If the One X buttons were made software, for instance, then it would be fundamentally the same thing (only with the increased flexibility advantages I talked about). Indeed, you can't actually tell that the One X's buttons aren't software, without looking at it closely.
[Galaxy S III General] Chillz88:
You should too.. Cos the s3 is d dumb update of s2 just like the 4s is to the iphone 4..
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
Not trying to hijack this thread, but aren't the displays sourced with a specific aspect ratio? You couldn't simply change the hardware keys to software, without either making the phone wider (which wouldn't work imho) or getting someone to make a custom screen which is longer and thinner? I just find the hardware keys to offer the best of both worlds, but am looking forward to seeing a phone that maximises display size in a good looking handset. Hasn't been done so far.
[Galaxy S III General] SAEVARM3:
+1

I will for sure be buying this AMAZING phone!
[Galaxy S III General] Beowulf_pt:
Nah. I have even more to ***** about iPhones, way more. That's one of the many things I love about myself - I can see when something is crappy, but without losing track of what is even crappier! I could go on, and on and on but then realized that it would be kinda pointless to feed you anymore.
[Galaxy S III General] ArborRes:
My Note, with the Collective's Seraphim Troposphere ICS ROM and Apex Launcher, is not laggy at all. S-3 seems like a very decent phone but not good enough to make me switch from my beloved Note! :D
[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I think that a lot of people who hit that "no" option on the polls all around here will end up buying this phone. Just wait and see.

Same thing happened with the Galaxy Nexus - a TON of people belly ached until they saw what awesome things developers were allowing to be done to the phone and they ended up snagging one up within the next month. Same thing will happen here.

Everyone will soon realize that this phone will have some awesome things going for it in terms of custom ROMs and what-not. You people realize that no matter your opinions if you weren't on the team who made the design of this or that that you "are disappointed" in

You won't understand why

but the fact is Samsung did exactly what they did with this phone for A REASON

Samsung has tested this obviously

THEY WOULDN'T put out a product with the title of SGSIII knowing the prestige behind it IF it was as big a fail as some "educated" people on this forum are bellyaching about.

Trust me - this phone will be hanging around for a while because this thing truly is A BEAST.

To all those who disagree or who look down upon this phone and all it stands for - wait and see. You will soon be kicking yourself in the groin because you didn't get on this phone ASAP instead now you will be behind on everything we who see how good a phone it really is already know about it.
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
Actually, that's a good question. I'll have to read up more on resolutions (but a "custom screen size" would be well within the capabilities of Samsung, for example, and it would hardly be custom once the manufacturing process starts).
[Galaxy S III General] itspb:
That post was not meant for you and just for the

record, i would rather die than get an iPhone.

Dude, the iPhone 4S is nothing but a 4 with an extra lens and antenna. Plus siri. SGS3 is much more than what SGS2 is.

My comment was based on your experience with SGS1. I'm using one and I'm perfectly happy with it. Yes, it was laggy but then the custom ROMs just did the magic. I love my SGS1 even more than ever now. It looks like you need something perfect and hassle free, and i guess iPhone is a perfect choice for such people. The "crapiness" is the soul of Android.

We both have the mutual feelings, i know how it feels when someone is wrong on the internet. :-P (tired of telling people why any Android is better than iPhone). I'm not saying you are wrong, and neither am i accepting that I'm wrong. Just expressing my views.
[Galaxy S III General] funb0b:
Just an observation, but every time I pick up her Nexus its always upside down with no real buttons its hard to tell which way up it is, that would get annoying quick. :p

I just think those rumors were to unrealistic to be true and everybody were so hyped about it and now that it´s out and doesn´t have what some rumors said it would have, they just say it sucks and every other phone will destroy it.

Get real people, this phone is such a beast and 29 of may we will be getting the best phone out there in our hands (well, at least the smart people who will buy it)

I´ve said it before and I´ll say it again, I will be buying this phone when it comes.... can´t wait for it!
[Galaxy S III General] sschrupp:
I seem to recall everyone thinking the Galaxy S was going to be the supreme flagship of flagships and anyone would be kicking themselves in the groin if they didn't get on the phone ASAP. Not saying it's a bad phone or that I hate mine, but it has its issues and I do have a love/hate relationship with it.

Samsung will release a flawed product just like any other company would regardless of prestige (iPhone 4 with deathgrip problems anyone?). They're a company looking to make money in a hurry. They're not flawless.

Hopefully the S3 won't be another example of a flawed product that didn't have enough testing, but don't believe it's not possible.
[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:

[Galaxy S III General] spacekermit:

[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Yeah, many people are saying that - and honestly it is not going to be out of date for some time in my opinion. If I had a SGSII idk if I would be able to justify buying this.
[Galaxy S III General] funb0b:
Hmm interesting if I did already have an SGSII I would be in two minds aswell but coming from a desire its a total no brainer for me (:
[Galaxy S III General] itspb:
Phones are like girlfriends. You spend most of your time with them, you love/hate them, you enjoy with, you sob with them, you share your life with them. And you also have to change them now and then. :-P. I like my girlfriends with a bit of baggage because that is what makes them interesting. If they were perfect, i would just marry them and i don't want to get married so soon.

And this is my post of the day! :-P
[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
Of course the SGS2 won't be out of date. Even though they keep making inovations and adding stuff, these phones should be at least "capable" for 18 months.

Even my Motorola Milestone (International OG Droid) is still decent after 2 years and a half of being relesead.

It has a freacking locked bootloader and still there's a useable CM9 Alpha Rom for it.

The only thing holding me back from this phone is the pricing. If I can get the 16gb version about the same price of the One X, I'll choose the SGS3.

And for the people saying that it's the same camera of the SGS2, that's nonsense. It is a CMOS sensor that hasn't even been released by Samsung in the market yet.

Still 8mp but hell, everyone knows that megapixels war is over.
[Galaxy S III General] 4ktvs:
How do you know it's a CMOS?

I would really like to know if it's better than the S2 in low light.
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
Lol....Some people buy specs..........Been that way for years . Realized in real-world application or not . Others are more concerned with "wearing" a phone rather than using it . Still others are more concerned with turning everything off and seeing if they can get five days of battery life .

Few people actually buy features and usability. As for the screen size it would be hard to get any smaller than the Note for me. But I would go slightly smaller for that Wolfson DAC.
