whats even funnier is guys like you who got duped into buying a $700 phone while you still got not sex life.

obviiously since you chose this phone over rent then you need to take a hard look at your priorities.

heres some suggestions i got for you.

A) Wait until you get a better phone then sell the phone you have

B) Ask your rich parents to buy you more expensive junk that you dont need.

C) Get a job for once - although a rich boy like you wont feel comfortable working - and buy a phone with YOUR money, not your parents.

D) Move out your parents place and live your life normally, not as a 44 yr old virgin stuck living with mommy

now lets keep things in perspective.. you came to my thread (posting in my thread that you dont belong) and started throwing insults and complaints about ppl less fortunate than thou cuz you happen to have rich parents who buy you anything you scream about. this sounds strikingly familiar to a conversation i'd have with rich brats, the only difference is you think its fair to behave that way.

now i have a clue as to your current situation and honestly, i dont give a f***. all i know is that you can either afford a yacht or just a 30 footer. you seem to fall in the former category and for that i'm sorry, but continuing to complain and whine about ppl who dont have your weekly allowance wont cause them to magically afford an expensive phone... only rich parents and the lottery will do that.

now its silly to think that since you can afford this phone that obligates you to think everyone else can, although you could easily furnish multiple ppl with these and you'd still be a rich snob. but that statement of yours just furthers my speculation that you got some form of entitlement issue to think that just cuz you can afford something that others less fortunate shouldnt complain... (dont fret, most brats do).

I wish you the best of luck in your search for a higher purpose, I hope you find inner peace in your life. That would truly be remarkable.

This made my night. You are obviously , what, 13years old. Sorry son, you'll grow up to be a real boy some day... just ask the blue fairy nicely when you wish upon that star.

Don't assume because you struggle in life that everyone else does, I've worked hard to become a successful business man, something you may not be familiar with. That's why I can buy a $600 phone, just because I want to.

But keep playing the "poor old me" card. Keep throwing out your childish come backs... you will one day realize that real life is much different, and this sissy, pouty, woes me crap won't fly in the adult world.

Time to grow up kid.

It's hilarious though, I've had a stressful few weeks but this thread has single handedly made me laugh all day... it is a little sad though... I love how the op has gotten us all figured out. Apparently I have rich parents... maybe I should give them a call and see If they can hook it up with some scrilla. After all, I got my house payment coming up and I just bought this ridiculously expensive phone for a whopping $549 AT&T made me buy it to lol.

Eagerly waiting for the troll to come out from under the bridge :beer:

You clearly can't read, if you got the phone subsidized, THEN YOU ARE GETTING ****ED. I pay the same for 5gb and unlimited texting and 100 minutes of which I use none because of voip, as you do for your data alone. Over 24 months, I will spend several hundred dollars less than you, all because I paid more up front.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] murdermonkey9000:
The problem is not if you can afford to buy the phone off contract, it's can you afford the 60-100$ a month cell service price, the cost of the phone over the 24 months pales in comparison to the service charges, especially when great prepaid contracts are half of the lowest on contract price. If you can't save 700 for the phone, then you cant afford a monthly cell bill. I will lay this out again. 700$(for gs3) +33$(3$tax)x24(months) =1492$

VS.

Subsidized gs3 220$+ 77$x24=2068$ (70+tax on cheapest t mobile contact, and I'm being generous, cell taxes are higher than 10%)

Means those who subsidized paid over 500$ more over the 2 year period than someone who bought it outright and went prepaid. Oh and I get 3gb more a month than the subsidy recipient, for a total of 72gb more over the 24 months. So for all you people *****ing about prices, MAYBE IF YOU DID SOME SIMPLE ****ING MATH AND EXAMINED WHAT THINGS ACTUALLY COST, YOU WOULD HAVE MORE ****ING MONEY. Phone companies subsidize these for a reason, so they can take more of your money.

Edit : anyone who wants to know how to get by with 100 minutes very easily, pm me and ill tell you 2 simple steps that take about 1 minute without anything even slightly complicated.

HA HA.. you made my weekend. youre obviously, what, 44 yrs old. sorry old man, youll grow up to be a real man some day... just ask your rich parents nicely for some money when you tell them.

dont assume becuz you struggle trying to get girls cuz your rich that eveyuone else doesnt.. i became successful with girls without bragging about money to them, something youre familiar with doing all the time without getting laid. thats why i can get any fine girl without paying for one like yourself.

but keep playing the "i'm lucky to be rich" card. keep throwing out your money on childish toys like a samsung phone that wont get you laid. you will realize that girls dont get turned on by a phone. and this, oh jolly wowzers faggish rich crap wont fly with ANY girl.

time to move out your mom's house.

its funny though. i had a good month but this thread has single handedly made me laugh at you all nite.. its a bit sad though.. i love how this poster thinks he can buy anything except love. apparently, he thinks he can buy it. maybe i should give him some dating tips and see if he can finally hook with a girl who wont reject him. after all, i got girls texting me and a columbian girl called me today without me having to brag about money or a $549 phone to get laid.. HA HA HA HA

eagerly waiting for this 44 yr old virgin troll to finally get laid.

yeah i had to let him have it where it hurts him the most.. his wallet.. ha ha..

and nah i dont think hes 12.. i still feel hes 44 yrs old.. hands down.

whats even cuter is youre thinking about an xbox when you should be thinking about a girl.. go back to the bathroom and play with yourself again.. you need to release your frustrations.

so lonely.

you clearly dont think. if you got the phone thru a contract like you said THEN YOURE GETTING F***ED. i pay $30 a month prepaid with unlimited text. and i still got minutes left over at the end of the month. over 3 yrs i will save hundreds of dollars more than you becuz you dont know how to count or think.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevyhacker:
I see that many of you are complaining that ICS ROMs aren't good enough and you mention some camera issues. I got my Desire Z two days ago from an android app competition and now have to root it and find a good ROM to flash. Rooting is much more complicated than on my previous device but there are a lot of guides.

My Question is should I choose a stable gingerbread (like Cynogen 7.1 ) or ICS (Andromadus Mimicry) could be used as a daily driver ?

I am concerned about camera, will it work good enough cause I use it pretty much.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirko935:
Rooting isn't that complicated, it only took me an hour or so and the Desire Z is my first Android device. Just follow the guide in Wiki here and you'll be fine.

What's stopping you from trying both GB and ICS once you root the phone?

Anyway, Sense 4 ROMs have problems with non-working camera, on AOSP ROMs it works fine except for 720p video, though I think someone mentioned an ICS ROM which has 720p recording fixed, but I don't know which one was it. I don't use camera much so I can't really tell you much more about it.

I've been using Mimicry as a daily driver for a couple of weeks now and it works great for me. Before that, I spent a month or so on unofficial CM9 betas. You will probably get corrupted text every couple of days or so, but it's not a big deal, a simple app restart fixes it.

That said, I didn't even try any AOSP GB ROM, I wanted to see how ICS works and it turned out to be so good that I don't even have a need to try GB.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevyhacker:
Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me result of Antutu benchmark app and how much free RAM do you usually have ?

On stock 2.3.3 Desire Z has a score of 2410 and just 100 MB of free RAM which I think isn't enough cause my older android phone has around 200 and is much cheaper than HTC even they have same amount of RAM.

Also on which cpu frequency works your phone ? I mean up to how much is stable to overclock without draining battery to fast.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rc_enzo:
Most ROMs for the Desire Z have them clocked on 1GHz or sometimes 1.2GHz. They are usually combined with a clever OC daemon, which underclocks it (to 350MHz or so) as soon as the screen's off.

And with a ROM like Mimicry by the way, you get around 180 MB of free RAM on average. Short after boot that can be 200MB, but that fills up quite quickly.

Having stock Sense on the phone is a serious drain; it's big, not really efficient anymore and simply old. ICS consumes less then any older Android.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
try a few roms for yourself, this is the only way to know what you find best. for me I've tried six or seven sense roms and have been mostly disappointed with all of them, but others find them ok and even good. there are loads of great gingerbread builds for these phones, mostly cm7 based. of these I prefere elitemod and ilwt. the ics roms were not daily drivers up until a few months ago. the best of these I found have been elitemod and mimicry. of course I haven't used any of the others in some time but mimicry is a tweeked version of audacity so I'm sure that one is usable as well. the sense 4 roms I can't use yet, maybe someday ill try again, there are a few good miui builds but again for me these are only fun for a short time even though they are highly customizable they're just not for me

in the developer threads you will find a sticky a few threads down containing a list of most roms gingerbread and up for these phones, try a few and have fun!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirko935:
Here are Antutu results at 1.4 and 1.8 GHz. Normally, I have it clocked at 1.4 GHz max / 384 MHz min with SmartassV2 governor. I wouldn't go to over 1.4 for day to day use, it heats up quite fast at higher clocks. But you will have to experiment yourself and see what works for you, I don't think there's much to be afraid of regarding overclock. If you set the clock too high, your phone will probably just freeze and nothing else bad will happen. Just MAKE SURE you don't set it to apply settings at boot before you're absolutely sure it's stable, otherwise you could end up in a bootloop and you'll have to restore from a backup in Recovery. And of course, as safe as overclock is, don't do it if you're unsure about anything, and don't blame me if something goes wrong, you do it at your own risk. One more thing, for me Mimicry freezes at over 1.6 while it works normally at those clocks with other ROMs I tried, it probably has voltages set lower than the others, but I don't really have a need to check into it, so be careful if you decide to try setting the clock that high.

I get around 200 MB free on boot. If your question was regarding free memory in normal use, read this and just don't worry about it: http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care

Sorry if you already know these things, I have no way of telling how much you know, so I wanted to try and cover as much as I could regarding your questions.

edit: Btw, I agree with demkantor, just take some time and try a couple of ROMs, that's the only way you'll find what you like best.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
@mirko935, just a quick tip, if you ever did overclock to high and forget and check the set on boot finding yourself stuck in a boot loop you can just flash the kernel on top of your current rom and it will reset the defaults, just an fyi
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
I say, have fun on Cyanogenmod 7.2 for a little bit. It's fast, stable, and super customizable. Then, in a couple months if you start to get bored, flash over to an ICS (or Jelly Bean!) ROM.

ICS is acceptable right now, but there are still issues. A little bit longer and the devs should have things running perfect.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevyhacker:
Thanks all of you for info and tips, now I am going to root this thing ;)

EDIT:Rooted succesfully :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevyhacker:
HELP ?

I just flashed Andromadus Mimicry and after choosing options in Aroma installer and flashing gapps i rebooted but after showing HTC logo there is the animation which repeats and phone doesn't boot into OS. Help please, I have deleted cache before flashing ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
If your Radio is .19 and you want to try ICS give the Rom in my sig a try (if your radio is not *.19 like in my sig then that could be the problem with the Andromadus rom as well... )

Edit:

Based on the To-Do list of the Andromadus thread : "Add EdKeys' RIL/lib matcher for .19 radio" which was struck out as done, I'm going to assume that you perhaps do not have the 'new' .19 radio flashed and as a result are unable to start that Rom, much like how EliteMod was giving me the same issue until I upgraded my radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevyhacker:
How to know which my radio is ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Would show on the HBoot screen (i.e.: the screen with the 3 androids on the skateboard at the bottom).

If you've never updated yours, you're probably still on the old .26_M radio.

(Power + Down Volume should get you into the bootloader screen to get that info)

EDIT: If you do need to upgrade the radio, click on the radio link in my sig for the thread involving the update. If you've got an unlocked boot loader (i.e.: True S-OFF) you can actually upgrade the radio via the recovery using the zip file from that thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevyhacker:
You are right my radio is .26_M

EDIT: How to get into recovery directly without HBOOT ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirko935:
I have that same radio and I never had those problems. Did you do a full wipe and are your partitions ext4? It could have something to do with those things.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
You using an ICS rom as well? Both the ones he mentioned and one I mentioned are made for the "new" radio. If you're not using the exact same rom (ICS specifically) then it's not really a relevant statement.

I can't speak for the Adromadus ROM, but The EliteMod one worked just fine with either EXT3 or EXT4 partitions (I later converted system/data/etc over to ext4)

(It's one of the many reasons why having your current phone/rom/etc in the signature is useful).

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Without HBoot? I actually never tried it via the buttons, but via HBoot you would just volume down to 'recovery' then hit the power button, but I've always either 'rebooted into recovery' from the power menu, or I waited til my device was showing in ADB and typed adb reboot recovery in the console.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevyhacker:
I've solved the problem :) First time I just deleted cache partition but didn't wipe data and that's where the problem was. If it was an AOSP ROM that wouldn't cause this mess but I had downgraded stock froyo before flashing andromadus.

Thank you once more for helping me to get the ICS godness to my phone ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirko935:
I wrote in my first post in this topic that I'm using Mimicry, but you're right, I will make a signature asap. Other than that, I used CM9 betas by jerl92 and Ice Cream Sensewich of ICS ROMs, and they all worked fine with that radio. I see that he only mentioned that he wiped cache, that's why I think it could be related to wiping.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
I was using CM9 Beta13 before moving to EliteMod, and I was on the old Radio with CM9b13, I didn't need to upgrade to .19 until it came to EliteMod which seemed to be configured for the new radio, hence why I thought of that.

(If nothing else the process for upgrading the radio will certainly wipe most of that other stuff, but yes generally with a brand new rom you want to wipe everything including the system, data, sd-ext, cache, dalvik, etc).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
So you have a bootloop? (The boot animation keeps repeating?)

I assume you are on Clockwork Mod Recovery or 4EXT Recovery? First you want to make sure you didn't get a bad ROM download, check the MD5 checksum of the file if you can. Then you want to wipe using the "superwipe+EXT4" zip that is floating around here. (Someone please link it!) Then try flashing it again.

Don't worry about the radio right now, you can update it after you get the rom to boot. Let me know if it works.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevyhacker:
I flashed Andromadus Mimicry succesfully. See my previous post in the thread.

Root Explorer does see the card, you just need to go to the /mnt folder.
