[G2 and Desire Z General] Frag1le:
I never had a Motorola or LG phone so no experience. But i rather have a less xda (rom) supported phone then one without a qwerty keyboard.

Sure this could work but the keyboard then has it's own battery and uses bluetooth to the phone. I won't even look at the slow bluetooth pairing speeds and extra batterydrain, using bluetooth on your phone for this just isn't practical.

Also i don't want an extra case that thickens my phone.

And if this will be the only available proper qwerty phone in Europe it'll get enough attention eventually i hope.

Honestly LG Replacing a HTC? Na
[G2 and Desire Z General] bcpk:
Everything looks great about the phone except the iPhone 3GS chrome styling and the horribly low resolution screen. That WVGA must be wrong, surely? I remember ages back before the release of the "Nexus Prime", that was said to be WVGA as well based on its User Agent.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Frag1le:
I don't think the resolution is to low. 800x480 like the Desire Z is fine. I don't care much about styling, i do care about buildquality, qwerty and specs.

Nice, thanks for sharing.

Let's hope the specs will be released soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] otariq:
It said 5mp camera hopefully that's incorrect cuz if the camera sucks then most likely the rest of the phone wont be much better
[G2 and Desire Z General] Frostie123:
Man I am hoping the new Samsung slider has powerful specs. I hate it when they shaft us thinking we are just texters. And yeah that 5mp better be a joke or must be the best 5mp camera phone. When the Desire Z came out it had one of the highest specs. HTC needs to go back to its root... an HTC One X slider now that is a dream phone.

Those specs weren't bad for a phone that came out last year it compares to mytouch 4g slide I should've returned my g2 for that phone but just couldn't get past those ugly hardware buttons on the bottom
[G2 and Desire Z General] GrievousMcG:
Came across this while trying to pass time: http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-working-ics-slider-sprint

Basically as the article says it looks like a Motorola slider for the Sprint network. No details of the specs yet as it seems to be a development concept at this stage but perhaps something worth keeping an eye on?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Frag1le:
This doesn't appear to be the same phone, if that is what you're trying to say.

Looking at the key lay-out it appears to be a different phone.

And also the release was in november 2011 so it's a different phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Frag1le:
Let's hope it'll get proper specs and not the stated ****ty qHD display.

What on earth is up with the 1, P, A, and Right Cursor keys on the "Galaxy S Blaze Q". Alt & Right Shift elongation is alright but those four are just.. bizarre.

A bit more technical information about the Samsung S Blaze Q

According to Engadget, the processor is going to be an Snapdragon S4.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Lum_UK:
I ended up replacing my Desire Z with a Droid 4.

I'm in the UK, so had to immediately root it and flash the ICS leak, at which point it works fine on GSM and 3G, you just get a nag screen on boot about your SIM being from an unknown source.

I've since gone over to Hashcode's port of AOKP and with some build.prop tweaks to switch it to global mode, it's still working fine on GSM and 3G, now without that nag screen or any Verizon bloatware!

It was also a lot cheaper to buy from the US and import, even after import duty, than to buy a similar phone out of contract in the UK. Worked out at £363, which I will recover in 8 months by going on the cheapest SIM contract that isn't subsidising my "free" phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrusilowicz:
Hello everyone.

First let me say that for many of my own reasons, I love this particular model of phone. Second, I was working at a cell phone/pc repair shop, and the girl I work with messed the phone up. Badly. Main flex ribbon cable snapped (has since been replaced), the volume rocker cable snapped (not replaced yet), and the screen is much darker then before and doesn't brighten. Also the digitizer works about 60% of the time until I unslide the phone or some such thing. What I need help with, is:

I have a Motoral CLIQ XT that is perfectly functional and on CM 7.1.0 that I would be more the willing to trade or trade and pay a small amount of $$ to get the MT3GS working or replaced.

I have a semi-functional Mytouch 3G Slide. I would like it to be fully functional or get a replacement MT3GS.

Can someone help me?

Well I'm trying to flash a radio and I dunno why? I try do it by command when the phones in bootloader and I get a error message like remote not allowed. But I don't get it and what to do. I've put a photo of my boot loader if it helps

If anyone could help it would be very appreciate it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:

Did you, being in the rom check usb debugging or whatever its called?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
Its because you don't have eng soff. For us "regular" soff we flash a radio via a pd98img formatted zip. If you really want eng soff use the ace hack kit to install it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reinaldo33897:
OK guy flashing radios are not an easy task. Especially trying eng s-off and command flashing them. It is not for the noobies to attempt. Please research and read up as much as you can on radio flashing before you end up with an unrepairable expensive paper weight. Flashing radios in pd98img zip formats are the easiest and safest way without eng s-off.

Also radios are based on your region. You may flash a radio and end up with worse service. There's and old saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it"
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyaldearing:
I have tried doing it as pd98img but it finds it and then says parsing pd98img and then does nothing.

and my service isn't the best and my battery life is terrible with whatever I do it didn't work and also I know your trying to help but your don't have to be all high and mighty and arrogant about knowing what I dont

12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M radio version in a flashable PD98IMG.zip. I downloaded it somewhere from ARHD 6.3.1 thread, checked MD5Sum, packed it into a template PD98IMG.zip, unzipped it, checked MD5Sum again (was the same :P).

I then calculated the MD5Sum of the new created PD98IMG.zip with the radio.img in it (the one I'm providing here).

The MD5Sum is: 599913d5041450b5c169f65b09b2f859

Download

So download it, put it onto your SD Card and check the MD5Sum before - should work like a charm then.

[I'm not responsible for any possible brick ]

Download that radio version and check md5. Put PD98IMG.zip root of sdcard. Take battery out and put it back in. Then press vol- down and press power button. Phone will ask perform update if all has gone well. If not there is something wrong in your phone software.

Since the Galaxy S3 is now officially released, now is the time to start a thread for us Irish

At the time of release only the White 16gb version is available but Pebble Blue is expected to be available in 2 to 3 weeks or longer, depending on who you ask.

I got my white 16GB Samsung Galaxy S III yesterday from Vodafone. have had not much time to play with it yet, because of studying for exams.

In the half hour or so that I used it, i am impressed.

All I have done so far is, that i have rooted it

How much did you get it for?

Will you be installing a Rom or keeping TW?
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
I had a look in 3 and Vodafone today, couldn't see it in either.
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
Available in the Carphone Warehouse in Grafton Street from midnight tonight although you wont catch me queuing up to buy a phone, i hear they'll have plenty of stock all the same.

They seem to be the cheapest anywhere ive seen actually if you wanna purchase the phone outright, €569 locked to 3 Ireland so as soon as someone posts unlocking codes on these forums ill purchase it, i won't be buying it until then i couldn't face having the phone and not being able to use it as it's SIM locked.

eMobile and Meteor coming in at €599 which is still cheaper than Amazon UK and Germany and Carphone Warehouse UK, very surprised at this actually.

:)
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
Yeah, the euro is so weak at the moment compared to the pound. Wouldn't get a deal buying anything from the UK I'd imagine.
[Galaxy S III General] Raptor124:
free on a 24 month contract and €65 per month

will keep the current rom but will install adw launcher
[Galaxy S III General] Raptor124:
they are out of stock with vodafone

my upgrade order was taken on friday may 25 and i recieved it on may 30th
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
€65 a month 24 month contract jaysus that is daylight robbery mate sorry :eek:

I notice the carphone warehouse are offering this phone from pretty much all the main players (no Tesco though) im aware that it's locked to 3 Ireland but does anyone know if the phone would come unlocked on any of the other networks on pre pay?I'm still astounded it's so cheap here as opposed to anywhere else in Europe ive seen

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

I am sorely tempted to go on a 6 month contract with O2 the device costs €409 and for €50 per month you get 400 mins, 400 texts and 1GB Internet and unlimited O2 calls and texts that is not bad at all actually, i swore id never take out another contract again but 6 months isn't that bad and i have a 6 month contract with O2 for Broadband anyway, what are O2 like thesedays as a mobile network it's been around 8 years since i was last with them and i don't even think they were called O2 then (Esat Digifone or something lol):)

As you are not in the United Kingdom this of course may not help .

[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
cheers mate, i rang O2 there and asked them but the bird i spoke to didn't know:confused: so i suppose ill just have to go into the shop and find out for myself, if it has O2 branding on the phone i wont get it.

The Galaxy S3 is available on O2 Ireland on PAYG, surprised it's not available in the UK on PAYG!

[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
Just got mine today the white one which is the one i wanted anyway.

€419 upfront with o2, 6 month contract €50 per month - 400 mins, 400 texts , 1GB Data and 200 International minutes per month so not a bad deal overall given the price of everything here, swore id never take out another contract but 6 months is nothing and i wouldn't take out anything longer than that.

HOWEVER and im piss*d off at this, the charger that came with it is one of the European chargers with 2 pins instead of the standard 3 pin charger we use here, i just rang o2 there and the bird didn't seem to know so i rang the shop and got the voicemail, im gonna have to go back in during the week and get them to give me the correct charger, i can use my Galaxy S2 charger until then but im gonna be selling that soon.

Gonna root the phone tonight,etc just from spending 30 minutes playing around with i first impressions are wow pretty amazing :)
[Galaxy S III General] Raptor124:
but after 6 months i can drop down to a lower tarriff which is the plan

as for the charger, this is the type I got, on the charger there is a black prong that is folded down, unfold this and slide in the bit with the two prongs.
[Galaxy S III General] Raptor124:
+1
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
:o:o:o FU*K me i feel embarrassed now :D ive never seen a charger like that before so i assumed it was the wrong one thanks for letting me know mate feel a bit silly but im sure im not the only one who has made a mistake like this, i just rooted the phone which was a piece of cake but something as simple as this charger and here i was thinking i got the wrong one:D

The white one is where it's at for me already have many people comment on how beautiful it is :D

Just ordered this case on eBay, had a Nilkin case for my SGSII and it done the job nicely, this will do until there are a bigger selection of cases available, personally i wouldn't buy anything like cases,etc in the likes of carphone warehouse and the likes in Ireland it'll only be a rip off.

Got the black one

Agreed ...I bought a clear flexible shield one till the selection gets better. The Samsung slim case looks ok in my opinion...

Waiting for car dock and more accessories too but they're not released yet.hoping the Samsung one will have a built in USB connector to charge. At £29.95 it would want to have. If it doesn't, then I'll prob buy the Brodit one
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:

****in disaster folks :( was hammered drunk last night and my phone was robbed some Romanian gypsys vermin they are, they asked for directions as i was outside the pub , a few mins later i put my hand in my pocket and it was gone, if i ever see them again ill hammer the bastards, the owner of the pub might have CCTV outside the pub so they might be on camera, nightmare was so busy during the week i didn't get around to getting it insured after shelling out €419 on a 6 month contract with o2 €50 a month, went in this morning and offered to go on a longer contract and fork out some money but they weren't having it :mad: so spent the whole morning going around the various shops, eventually the only option for me was to take out a 2 year contract with 3 Ireland and i got the phone for free so i was delighted with that,spent bloody ages trying to go through the approval process and my number still hasn;t ported over.

I get home and am setting the phone up all of a sudden the screen goes black, i try and pull the battery and charge it but nothing so i had to bring it back to the shop and get them to exchange it, talk about bloody bad luck or what, so be careful folks, avoid any contact with these Romanian gypsy scum and don't flash your phone about and get it insured, ive learned a valuable lesson.

Have to pay off the o2 contract €50 for next 6 months and my new contract €40.66 with 3 for 2 years:( but at least i have my phone back, i felt like i was missing a limb or something.
[Galaxy S III General] gavin-phelan:
thats fukin awful were was this
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
In Phibsboro mate,i swear if i ever see these Romanian gypsy ****s again ill hammer them, im not racist in the slightest but i cannot stand these bastards begging and robbing all the time, last 24 hours has been a disaster, i also lost all my photos and videos usually i back them all up but hadn't done so in a while,loads of videos of my son as well :confused: as i said i learned a valueable lesson here.

ANYWAY is anyone else on 3 Ireand and how do i get rid of the 3 Logo when the phone boots and when i shut down?

Have to say Internet speeds with 3 are very good indeed ive heard many people say this and they are right, they are helpful in the shop too, long queues there today your woman says everyone wants the Galaxy S3 there was loads of people playing with the display models today, i just couldn't wait to get a replacement phone, if i come into any money ill buy out the contract as i hate being tied into long contracts but this was the only way i could get a replacement.

Just downloading my apps again from Google play and setting my phone up again, unlimited data is deadly too:)
