[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbutt:
I jumped ship from the t989 as well. Do it, it's fantastic. Speaker quality is fine, it shouldn't annoy you as nothing is wrong with it. & yes the camera is good enough. Gnex is a great device.

Idk about the play store thing tho, I bought a white one from daily steals the last time they were selling them...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
speaker: its fine

camera: go to the camera thread and find example shots and conclude yourself.

white: no
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SDRaver:
I just came from a white t989 T-Mobile.

Best choice I've made all year. Won't regret it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fraz82:
I'm in the same situation as you, except slightly different . :) I bought a galaxy nexus and I still have my t989 and I'm debating whether to sell the t989 or not. My assessment is that the camera us a mixed bag, sometimes it takes shots that are almost as good as the t989, not as good, but close enough for it not to be that big an issue. But facts are facts and 8 MP images with the GS2 sensor more often than not have better detail than the 5MP shots on the nexus. Also Nexus needs optimal lighting most of the time... no surprise since it has an f2.8 sensor and the gs2 has an f2.65. Though in the end, numbers are useless since the gs2 kicked the iPhone 4s's butt most of the time (not always), and that had a f2.2 sensor? So... there's a camera comparison article on zdnet which shows nexus vs lumia vs 4s. Its worth a look.

I as always have concerns about the GPU. When running Nenamark2 it performs at less than half the frame rate of the adreno 220 in the t989. Not surprising since its the same gpu as the iPhone 3gs just over locked. Its confusing since it normally performs so well that I'm concerned whether it will be able to hold up to more demanding games.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marksatterfield:
Have you done any testing on the radio/network stacks? I'm reading on some forums that the T989 doesn't have proper radios for ATT MVNOs nor for worldwide support.

I just bought the T989 ($300, running 4.0.4), but could still return it for a Galaxy Nexus ($350)..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctowne:
I came from a T989 too. The nexus kicks that phone's ass in my opinion. $350 on the play store and no there is no white. The speaker quality is great. The camera is really great for 5mp. I expected it to be much worse. You will get slower "4G" though cuz I think the nexus operates on the 21mbps hspa and the T989 uses 42mbps. I still get about 10mbps download and 4mbps upload on my nexus, not bad.. Assuming you are using T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
Well said. The nexus is everything I wanted the t989 to be.

Def a solid decision :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Nexus devices for life. Won't be switching from a Nexus to non-Nexus device ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marksatterfield:
Could you be a little more specific? Trying to change my mind about keeping the T989 w 4.0.4 preinstalled....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fraz82:
Hi guys! I have a moral dilemma (hows that for dramatic?) So, I recently got the Galaxy nexus, but ive been in the tmo galaxy s 2 for the last 6 months, and while I'm really fond of it, I think the nexus is a better experience. Although I think the galaxy s 2 has a much much better camera sensor. And a superior GPU. But the screen and overall fluidity is greater in the nexus.

So I'm in two minds... do I keep the galaxy s 2 as a spare or a reserve camera/media player? Or do I sell it? I can get about $400 for it, it's in perfect condition.

What do you guys think? What should I do? Sell, keep or wait?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Laazyboy:
If youre keeping the nexus I really don't see a reason to keep the s2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fraz82:
I was afraid of that. Kinda hard to let go I guess :) its a really good phone. Just seems redundant with the nexus around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fraz82:
If you had to choose between the two devices?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gerbilunit:
might as well sell the s2 and make some money back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Indeed. You can get a really good DSLR with the $400 you get which will surpass the GSIIs camera by a longshot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] atse123:
I'd definitely sell it if your going with the Galaxy Nexus. The price is just going to drop once newer phones are released.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
keeping a gs2 as a reserve camera/media player is silly (no offense).

Sell it now while the value is still high. have $400 now, and if you need to replace or have a device for camera/media player, there are plenty of other options that costs less with better functionality in those departments. I highly believe by the end of this month. the price for the gs2 will drop below $350. especially with rumors of the gs3 and the one s being released.

TL;DR: SELL SELL SELL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fraz82:
Thanks for the input guys! Guess I know what to do now. It's going to be hard letting go, I'm not gonna lie.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] powerplayer28:
Honestly, it depends on what you would like to do with those phones. If you plan on rooting and flashing roms(basically experimenting) with the phones, I would say keep it as a backup just in case something goes bad with the other phone. On the other hand, if you just want to use your phone as a basic use without modifying, I wouldn't really see a reason for you to keep the S2.Remember however, the S2 is a pretty great phone and has more performance power than the Nexus so you would be selling such a great phone. Either way, its your choice. Also if you want to buy a new phone, sell the S2 so that you can use that money you sold it for. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fraz82:
So therein lies my problem, maybe I should wait till an official ICS update to this phone, so that I can see what this baby can do. Cause so far, the skyrocket ports have left me a little cold. On the other hand, if I sell it now, and put the money towards a Galaxy S III... as compared to waiting for ICS and selling it later for a little less and putting the money towards a Galaxy S III?

Damn. Confused again. :confused: :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] N31N:
sell it, don't look back. waiting for ics roms when you have an ics phone already (not to mention a bigger dev community)? malarky.

I wouldn't hold my breath on a US release of the SGS3 but an extra $400 can be applied to anything else to make living a little easier for a while.

and in regards to the idea of keeping it incase you brick your main phone, thats typically the kind of attitude that keeps people hoarding handsets way past their decent resale value period that they don't end up using. unless you're a wild dev living on the bleeding edge, the chance of bricking is relatively low.

And if you really want a backup phone, get an HD2 for like 100-150, i'm convinced those things will survive the apocalypse and have the most current version of android.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android_Guy:
I got $440 on ebay for a refurb GSII (and ebay pimped me $40) but like previously posted, ditch it and make back some $$$ before the value goes down. Right now it is T-Mo's flagship...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] acelim23:
Can I flash from DXLA2 based CustomRom to a XXLM6 Stock Rom using Odin?

Will there be no conflicts flashing from Asian to Europe based firmware?

I just want to update my baseband from I8150XXKL3 to I8150XXLM6 before I change to Black Notes Hybrid 2nd Gen,
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yes. It is safe. It will wipe out ur old ROM before installing XXLM6.

Just a comment. I don't know about DXLA2 but DXLC1 is working well with Black Notes Hybrid2. XXLM6 or XXLM8 is Europe baseband. I would recommend u stick to ur own region baseband.
[HTC One S] ajftl:
Not sure if this its old news and.if it is oh well.
[HTC One S] x1tyme:
Haven't got my update yet. What your software ver. before this?
[HTC One S] LikeaG2root:
What is the update for and if rooted and running nonstock rom will it matter?
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
Probably the wifi calling fix update..
[HTC One S] shinkinrui:
My phone that I ordered on launch day(and just received earlier today) has software number "1.53.531.16 710RD" ... I have not received any update.

Is your software number any different after the update?
[HTC One S] ocswing:
Hmm, when did you get your phone and do you happen to remember what your version was before the update? I just looked at my software version and it's 1.53.531.16 710RD and my phone has not been updated as far as I know. I just got it on Sunday.
[HTC One S] shinkinrui:
I realised that I phrased my post wrong. Updated, I haven't received any update. Sorry for confusion.
[HTC One S] ajftl:
Can't recall what software I had. I think I have same as yours now. Must had a old software then
[HTC One S] shinkinrui:
Heh, I thought it seemed very out-of-character for a T-Mobile US phone to have a software update out already. Oh well, hope we aren't waiting too long for the wifi calling battery drain fix.
[HTC One S] justin11141:
No update yet :/
[HTC One S] jonathan3579:

this software update is actually the one that has the effected wifi calling battery drain..

not all the phones Tmo initially released has the software with the issues on it.. i was thinking last saturday when i got the notification of the software update it was the fix but after looking over the software version i had a different one and the one they were trying to send me was the bad one so i just ignored the update and didnt run it..
[HTC One S] supa2001:
Can you still receive update after rooting or even putting a custom rom on it?
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Lucky you.

Mine came with 1.53 EU version out of the box in Switzerland and I must wait for the fixed version to be sent.

Can we point on a RUU version which is network errors free?
[HTC One S] FunkyELF:
What state does your phone need to be in to get an update?

It seems most people progress in the following order. At what point do you stop getting updates?

A, Completely Stock

B, + Unlocked bootloader

C, + CWM recovery

D, + Rooted

E, + Custom rom

I know that you'll get it with (A) obviously... and that you won't get it with (E). What about (B), (C), and (D)... what affects whether you get an update or not?
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Depends on how customized your ROM is; I still get updates on my kindle Fire with MoDaCo ROMs.
[HTC One S] strker45:
you will still receive ota updates on any rom until you remove the ota service. however, if you have a different recovery or have removed certain system apps the update will fail to apply.
[HTC One S] f10a:
Slightly confused here...

I rooted my S via the HTCDev site, installed CW recovery etc but did not install any ROM yet. Will I be able to get this update from TMO or do I have to unroot and go back to stock to receive it?
[HTC One S] M9x3mos:
I think most likely that that the OP just got a phone with the older pre releae verision of software.

That is the same software mine had out of the box.
[Networking] BigBigboy:
Official latest Turkey Turkcell T11 SD card upgrading software package is released on May 2, as many people are using T11, I do believe this tool will help many people to solve the software issues of T11,the way to get the tool:log in ZTE official website(zte.com.cn), choose Global---Support---Handset service---Turkey, then you can see the tool. As the instruction said"Be sure to back up the personal data before upgrade".
[HTC One S] cuoreesitante:
I just got a One S last week, and everything worked great with my 2009 A3 until yesterday, when bluetooth started getting disconnected by itself literally every minute. After it cuts off it immediately reconnects, which would have been fine but the A3 makes a "ding" sound every time the phone is connected. I have tried to unpair and pair again and again, and to no avail.

Despite this issue, the connection is actually fine when in a call. It's only when it's idle. Also my Nexus S working fine with the car, and the phone works fine with my BT speakers....

Does anyone else have this problem? I'm going to call my local dealership and ask if they have any sort of update for the A3 since the One S is BT 4.0....

[SOLUTION/WORK AROUND]

Just unpair the phone, then when you pair it again, do not allow the car to access your contacts, and make sure to choose the "do not ask again" option. This is the only consistent solution I've seen so far.
[HTC One S] ajftl:
Try to update software... Maybe there is the fix. Settings about phone system update
[HTC One S] cgogos:
I have the same issue with my One S, it will connect and disconnect from my Cadillac SRX, my Galaxy S2 had no issues. What is up with this phone.
[HTC One S] kolyan:
Yeah tell me about it....my Lamborghini Aventador is doing the same thing :)
[HTC One S] ocswing:
That's weird, my 2012 A3 doesn't have this issue. Do you have the nav system or the base console?
[HTC One S] wayne850:
i had the same problem with my arc s and my '11 rs5 last year.the audi guy couldn't find any problem at the multimedia console. he offered me to change the whole console but the problem was still there. same problem on my girlfriends tts...don't know what audi was doing back there.

now on my new facelift rs5 bluetooth works like a charm
[HTC One S] ionutzu:
Maybe if you didn't have such a badass car your phone wouldn't hyperventilate and drop your bt con every 60 seconds.
[HTC One S] pierre.grand:
I had this issue with SEAT Altea. It was in fact due to contacts syncronization.

To know if it is the case: unpair your phone and pair it again without accepting to share your contacts. then if the connexion is stable you will know that it's linked to sync.

I solved the issue by deactivating some phonebooks sources. I had 140 google contacts and 160 Exchange ones. Probably too many. By activating only the google ones the issue was solved.

hope it helps...
[HTC One S] cuoreesitante:
I have a base console.

Yep I saw this on another forum and it worked like a charm. I dont really need to use the phone book anyway, as long as it can let me pick up phone calls im golden.
[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
So, what was the actual change that solved the issues for you? We might want to take this into the FAQ. Did you disable the phonebook sync completely or did you just limit it to Google Contacts?
[HTC One S] cuoreesitante:
It was the phonebook sync. When you pair the phone to your car you should get a prompt on the phone that the car is asking for permission to access your contacts, just check the "don't ask again" button and decline it.
[HTC One S] cabello80:
I also have a problem downloading contacts. I drive 2011 Subaru Outback with OEM Nav/Bluetooth. How do you select which contacts to sync? Where is the option for selecting/deselecting Google, phone...etc?

Thank you
[HTC One S] alexbrickwedde:
Hi,

when not syncing your contacts is not an option: If you keep your android running with the navigation app (preventing standby) do you still experience disconnects? If this helps you can try my app "BluetoothKeepalive" from the market, it automatically prevents android standby when being connected via bluetooth.

Regards

...Alex

I just upgraded to the AOKP ICS rom and I've lost my favorite text message notification sound (the bottle opener). I've looked all over the place for a pack of the old notification sounds, but they all seem to have only a few of the ones I used to have, and none of them have the one I used to use. Can anyone who has that bottle opener sound dump their notifications and ringtones for me?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Just rip the sound file out of the rom u were on before....kinda a simple fix my friend. :rolleyes: if u were on stock and don't have a nandroid, just find the firmware on here and download it and there it is.

Phone was initially locked to BELL so i inserted Rogers SIM to attempt unlock (after installing custom ROM) and nothing happens. Go into APN and there is nothing.

Something about the phone was that there was only like 1gig available out of 10.89gig. So I formatted internal storage. Not sure if maybe I shouldn't have done that or not.

Im on the latest 0.6.0 I just put the previous version on a buddies Atrix and it works fine. Also from Bell. I should at least have signal for phone right? Also it is strange to me that the phone does not prompt me for an unlock code?? Is it because I flashed a custom ROM before unlocking? And it yes, how do I get around it?

Need some guidance here. :confused::confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giqbal:
Well if you installed the previous version, you shouldn't get signals as joker forgot to add some stuff. Make sure your on 0.6 and not the previous version.

If that doesn't work out you can try flashing a radio or flash another rom.

Hi,

Thinking of buying the HOX. I'm still on the good old HTC Desire running ICS :D

Not sure if I should just walk into AllPhones and get an Optus branded for $649 or get it online from

- expansys.com.au $576.29

- uniquemobiles.com.au ($648)

- mobicity.com.au ($649)

- mobilecity.com.au ($648)

** I'm avoiding techrific...bad experience...

Expansys seems to be the cheapest at the moment but I've never bought from them before. All the above prices don't include delivery.

Anyone got a HOX from those online retailers? Should I stay away from any of them? Never bought anything from expansys. Got some accessories once from mobicity.

Any feedback is much appreciated.
[HTC One X] YoungAceAtlanta:
I don't live in Australia but I know expansys USA customer service sucks .. its like they only have one rep working there.
[HTC One X] ambrosis:
Zakdeals.com

I spent hours this week scouring the web for a HOX at < $600 including postage. I finally found one that seemed free of dodginess, and have bought mine from them: zakdeals.com

Dumb name / domain if you ask me, but they have the HOX at $599 including delivery. They're based in Sydney and when I emailed to enquire about how they handle warranty requests they responded to me within 20 minutes:

"We give you local standard 1 year warranty. For warranty issues you need to send mobile to us and we will take it to HTC service centre in Sydney. In this situation we will pay both sides postage."

They even contacted me by SMS at 8pm to double check my colour choice (black of course).

That all said, I haven't received my phone yet, but it's only been 48 hours. If it all ends happily, I'll let you know.
[HTC One X] buddovit:

Be careful.
[HTC One X] laylawguw:
That would be a good idea!
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
Firstly I wouldn't buy online because it's a major pain in the ass if you have a faulty unit you have to send it away to where you bought it from and that could take days or weeks. I originally bought my first One X from Expansys Australia but the unit was imported from HK. I had a yellow spot on the top right corner of the screen. I was gonna return it but I had to jump through all these hoops and just totally discouraged me to send it back.

I bought my 2nd One X through Telechoice around where I live for $669 and I asked the guy about their return policy and it's 28 days. So if I have any problems with the phone I can drive down the road he will give me a new replacement within 28 days. And the 2nd One X is faultless. Now I just have to sell the other handset.
