got my gnex two days ago and i can say its awesome. oh to the guy asking, no it does not come with wifi calling. I dont regret my decision at all. Loving it all. I missed LED notification so much. PLus JB comes soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] osugsxr:
Back to the galaxy s2, white one for now! brand new traded an iphone 4 unlocked with gevey. I was having audio issues with the speaker going in and out during calls.

For the brief while I had the galaxy nexus I liked it, had a black galaxy s2 which I dropped and shattered the screen sold for $180. Galaxy nexus traded it for $200 plus a htc sensation.

Battery life wasnt the greatest for me with galaxy nexus though, I like the basic android and jellybean was pretty nice. Few new features thats about it but they are good. Have offer of $360 to sell my white gs2, having thoughts about selling and buying a galaxy nexus. I'm happy with the gs2 though, touch choice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
really? I have had mine for almost a week and have no had speaker issues and battery life is on par or much much better than the sgs2. Although i am NOT rooting it at all, so that could be the difference there. I am waiting for official JB to hit it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rivas741:
Do it! You won't regret it. I didn't. Battery life is amazing on JB Nexus compared to ICS T989. SDCard isn't a big deal for me. Instant camera shutter is super fast. Just get the Nexus. For me it was $387 with shipping and California tax. Sold my T989 for $345 the day after Nexus was priced at $349.99. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jaimesco12:
To me its not worth getting the nexus right now since anyways we are soon or later get jb port on our phone plus I rather think that our phone is faster. I'll just be better off waiting for the new nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
well i have both phones (s2 and gnex) and my gnex with jb on it smokes the s2 it did with ics. but now it is so apparent especially with scrolling and fluidity.......buttery smooth!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
How much would you guys say a t989 is worth? I want to make the jump. I want to get back onto a nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cpnfantstk:
I thought our 1.5 snapdragon and adreno gpu were superior to the Nexus's specs. I could see the non touchwiz software making a difference in smoothness. My device always ranks above nexus in Nenamark and Quadrant..Hmmm??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] agentg1001:
Yeah s2 definieltely has better hardware, besides the screen of course . Sgx 540 is an ok gpu , just not as good as our adreno . Its also a pretty outdated gpu, I have the sgx540 in my sidekick 4g. Also , the processor isn't as fast, sure touchwiz slows down the phone , but that's why there is non touchwiz roms .. if your a a person that likes high framerates in games , and pretty much no lag, s2 is what to keep . If I were to upgrade now, which I wont be doing for a year or so, I would go for the galaxy s3 , latest a greatest .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Sorry I have to correct you bud. The power vr sgx540 in the nexus is faster than the adreno 220 in or phones. As proof I picked up my trusty epic 4g (1ghz hummingbird/power vr sgx540) running the latest cm9 nightly. Put both govs on the epic and t989 on performance and set them to their stock clocks. Ran quadrant on both.

Now before you check out the screenshots keep in mind that the galaxy nexus' sgx 540 is clocked 200mhz higher than the epics sgx 540 and also runs a screen res of 720p not 480p. Seeing as both the epic and t989 are the same screen res this is a fair test. Anywho..

Quadrant. Keep in mind were looking at the 2d and 3d scores. Not over all. The s3 chip completely demolished hummingbird. By the time the epic got to the 3rd CPU test the t989 was done lol

T989

2d: 990 3d: 1960

Epic 4g

2d:926 3d: 1879

So yea. An extra 200mhz would have boosted that score way above the adreno 220.

Point us the gnex is better :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
double post
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Some of you may feel quadrants a pile of crap. I do too. Here's antutu. Epic 4gs power vr sgx540 vs t989 adreno 220.

Epic 4g

T989

Yea the t989 wins right?

This is where you get kicked in the nuts.. the sgx540 in the epic is only running at 200mhz compared to the adreno 220s 266mhz!!

So yea the gnex gpu is much MUCH better considering its clock is set at 384mhz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Here we go. Found a galaxy nexus clocked at 1.5ghz antutu screenie.

My t989@1.5ghz

Clock for clock the gnex omap CPU stomps on the t989s s3 and the even with a much higher screen resolution of 720p the power vr sgx540 beats the adreno 220 gpu.

So for anyone asking if the gnex hardware is faster than the t989 I say yes. By a fairly large margin. Case closed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Screen is mint. Plastic aluminum band has the usual case scuffs and I'm replacing a battery door I've never had lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cpnfantstk:
First of all. The versions of antutu are different which can affect scores. Second. Probably less than 1 percent of users go around with their phones overclocked. The T989 can be clocked at 1.8ghz. Comparing stock to stock the t989 is superior. Considering the unfair comparison we still had higher 2d and 3d scores.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] theUsualSuspexx:
Geez all i wanna know besides the 10k score since best my t989 ever did is 7800 and mt d710 6400 is what kind of flippin sd card is in there? I got one of them 32gb samsung military grade run it over with a tank class 10s from frys and im lucky if i get a 10 to 13 but a 20something? Lol tell that nex to lay off the roids

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Hence why I said CLOCK FOR CLOCK. I take it you didn't read my posts. I have been over locking and benching cpus for over 10 years now. If you can't see that the galaxy nexus has more horsepower per MHz with all the comparisons I made then you're not qualified to comment. Further more you forget that the galaxy nexus is pushing a 1280x720 screen versus the 640x480 on this phone. Both scores are extremely close.. now what does that tell you? Its common sense noob.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
LAWLZ
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Also I doubt different versions will make a difference. I'll go find it and install it and rerun the test. Put your technological inferiority aside. The gnex kicks the t989 in the nuts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Here. Same antutu versions. Same clock speed. AGAIN. keep in mind the gnex res is 720p versus the t989 480p.

Gnex

T989

The omap CPU clock for clock stomps the s3. If the gnex and t989 had the same screen res the gnex sgx 540 gpu would beat the adreno 220.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
So again yes the gnex has superior hardware. The proof is all there. Numbers don't lie. And unlike quadrant I believe antutu is a much more qualified benchmark.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cpnfantstk:
Noob or not. Use the same version and then post the scores. Common sense.. My device beats the nexus on antutu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Your technical inferiority is off the charts man. You just proved to me that you're no reading the posts. The last comparison posts ARE the same versions. And the gnex outscores the t989 by over 3000 points. I'd like to see your scores. Post a screenshot or you're flat out lying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Here. Same versions. I actually don't even need to see your score. The s3 SoC doesn't even have half the bandwidth the omap has. (2.7gb/s vs 6.4gb/s) the omap is much faster clock for clock as seen above and even though the 2d and 3d scores are on par the galaxy nexus is pushing 614400 MORE pixels than the t989. Do I need to explain this to you further? Like I said I don't need the screen shot. I know you're lying. Anyone who knows how to bench and compare hardware would agree.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cpnfantstk:
Funny in a way..you were posting your screenshots while I was attempting to post mine. I can't post yet having less than 10 posts. I was referring to the bar graph showing my device ahead of the nexus. I don't intend to lie or mislead. It's not worth it to do that. I am not trying to discount what you are saying either. I am just referring to the bar graph. You may have educated me on this but you can be nice about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Hence why I said you shouldn't comment about it lol your first post was very misinformed. I apologize for the asshole elitist attitude. Its just me. I bench and talk hardware with my friends 24/7 and when I know I'm right about something I make it a mission to correct the other person. Once again sorry bud but yea the gnex is the faster device. Mind you I'm only trying to prove the hardware capabilities. As far as everything else the t989 has the upper hand. Camera, SD expansion and a few other things are better on the t989. Some people may care about the latter much more. All preference in the end.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cpnfantstk:
Thanks for that.. Appreciate the info on the two models. I guess that graph is just BS... The one that shows the hierarchy of devices. Let's blame Antutu graphs.. Lol.. Peace.. Edit. Does the Nexus suffer from the lines and blob screen issue as well.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
As far as I'm concerned no. When I flash the next nightly on my buddies I'll report back. Also the graph isn't BS completely. Hardware is nothing without software. For example tw roms outscore aosp roms on just about every benchmark. Found this out first hand when I dropped my epic 4g for the nexus s. Both identical hardware wise but the nexus while under performing benchmark wise felt snappier and much less bogged down. I'll report back about he blotchy screen issue. Completely forgot about that aspect thanks man lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cpnfantstk:
Ya those blotches and lines can be annoying in a dark setting. Some in another thread says the newer Chinese made models don't have that issue.. However the Op of that thread provided a blob.jpg and instructions. Not sure if they followed them correctly to actually see anything or not. T989 I am referring to.. Thanks Rush..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I have the blotches on my screen. But I only ever see them on boot. And that's only if I look for them. I guess they're a lot worse on other t989s :-/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Well guys I've had my gnex since 7/3 and for $350 this was a really good deal. The phone has already received an ota for jellybean and is awesome to use. Bought an otter box commuter for it and have pretty much retired my t989.. still use it as a media player.

The network speeds I get in NYC are identical to the t989s, eventhough its technically a 42 mpbs device. I guess I have population density to thank for that.

I do miss certain things about the Hercules, like the SD card storage and the 8mp camera.

If you are thinking of getting a new phone, and you don't want a Qualcomm s4 and anything less than the latest os, definitely get a nexus.

For the record, the fact that every us phone for 2012 will pry have an s4 is pretty lame. Virtually no difference between any of the new phones coming out.

Hello all. I'm not new to this site but just wanted to throw some input for everyone...

I know Error 16 has been an issue for all lately either by putting up a new ROM or after the rooting process. There is an easy solution instead of calling Sprint to have your device updated...

After you setup your phone, just make sure you go into SETTINGS > UPDATE PHONE > UPDATE PROFILE, and after that UPDATE PRL.

I've rooted about 10 of my friends phones and this seems to be the easy solution to it all. Hopefully this helps everyone ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] luisrod03:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
that dont fix it everytime.. i tryed that when it happen to me and it didnt work so i had to stay on the phone after the error 16 switch massage and connected me to sprint.. they had to fix it on there end
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cgoofball0422:
Yea I noticed that its all luck of the draw and people using ## codes and using there MSL# to reset. Guess just one of the lucky few that had it easy. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
Sometimes, as in my case today, error 16 when calling (no network) was due to tower damages from violent storms that passed thru the Annapolis/Baltimore region last night. A call to Sprint is all you can do due to the re-provisioning on their end that profile/prl/or reprogram with dialpad #s won't do diddly..

This is probably a question most of us have faced, I just wanted to see if there was anything different with Gorilla Glass. I received my Galaxy S3 on release date and now I have hairline scratches on the screen if I hold it at an angle. It really bothers me, and I wanted to know if any of you had a way to fill in the scratches or what?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dave2metz:
I wish I could help, I have no idea how to deal with scratches on glass. I slapped on a invisishield 2 hours after I bought mine. Ive done this with my last 3 phones, I know if I wait, it will get scratched. To make you feel better, the first night I had my GS3, I was having a smoke on my patio and I went to sit down and my phone fell out of my pocket onto the concrete. It was only about a 2-3 foot drop, but I almost had a heart attack ! I didnt see anything at first , but later I noticed a nice gouge in the chrome bezel on the left corner. Totally sucks! I still have not bought a case .

[Acer Iconia A500] Eqsux4:
Hi all,

I have an a500 that i've been using for a few months and have loved it. No problems until 2 days ago, I came home from work and it wouldn't boot past the Acer splash screen.

I have tried everything to get it to work again. I was on an un-rooted, stock OTA ICS rom.

I can get it into APX mode, and have the CUID and SBK

I have tried:

PJBupdate20 from the EUU ROM --goes into download mode and stops

The various scripts for NVFLash --give me the following:

Flashing bootloader: bootloader_v8.bin ...

Nvflash started
[resume mode]
Formatting partition 4 please wait.. Command Execution failed cmd 13, error 0x12
0002
FAILED!
command failure: format partition failed (bad command)
bootloader status: unknown operation (code: 1) message: flags: 0

Nvflash started
[resume mode]

I've tried various other methods I've found here, and have still had no luck.

Any suggestions? I'd love to get back to using my tablet!

Thanks!

[Acer Iconia A500] VelosCohagen:

I think theres something messed up with the internal sd. This will reformat all partitions and install ics v8 unlocked bootloader and cwm 1.7.3.

Then youcan flash the hc bootloader with blackthunders apx flash tool and install a new stock rom.

I'm pretty sure i'm just doing that wrong.
[Acer Iconia A500] VelosCohagen:
Thers not much you could do wrong. Get tab in APX mode, run a501a.bat, when finished, go in recovery format /system partition three times, get back in APC mode and run a501b.bat. When finished you should be able to flash hc bootloader with blackthunders apx flashtool.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guacamoly:
I Just looked at the google play store and along with the tablet and social media hub (nexus q) that has been added.. the galaxy nexus is now listed as the Galaxy Nexus HSPA+

Obviously the new thing here is the HSPA+ branding and the fact the phone will ship with JellyBean...

but other than that.. does anyone know if this phone is any different than the one I bought a month ago? :-/

I've been using my phone on t-mobile since it came in the mail.. and although the download speeds are fast enough (fastest tested so far was 8.66Mbps).. it could be just tmobile and my unfortunate location rather than the phone lacking HSPA+

Anyone know if the old one was also HSPA+?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m4ff3w:
No difference in the device. They are just distinguishing that it isn't the CDMA version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cacofonix:
Yes, the nexus you bought is hspa+ capable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Don't want to disappoint you but the phone does NOT ship with 4.1. Re-read under tech specs:

"OS

Ships with Android 4.0

Soon upgraded to Android 4.1, Jelly Bean"

Its supposed to receive OTA mid-July.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wirelessFREAK:
OP, please sell your Google device, as you have not learned to use the website that started it all

All of the GSM Galaxy Nexii are HSPA+. They surely just put it in the name now to distinguish from the CDMA model.
[Motorola Photon 4G] exitpr0gram:
I've recently flashed Jokersax's unofficial cm9 to my phone .... i only receive 1x.

I decided to flash spleef's [MIiui.us]MIUI/ICS port [unlocked] and i am receiving the same problem.

Same issue with all roms flashed from Kitchen sink.

Same issue with Paranoid Android, which is what i'm currently running.

When i flash my Stock backup, i get 3G back.

My unlocked bootloader was suppose to only disable 4G so i know for a fact i am missing something or doing something wrong.

I did some searching and found that a specific Sprint business PRL MIGHT help. I am not sure how i would get this PRL file on to my phone because i cannot enter edit mode by using the ##MSL# from the dialer. I've already added the PRL file to my SD card.

Please go easy on me if this info is out there already... i do a LOT of research (hours and hours) but sometimes i just can't find it and i know that people love making others look like idiots which is why i say this. I've searched forums that seem related to my issue/ROM and found nothing. I searched them with the keyword "1x", which is how i found the possible fix with the business PRL.

Thanks in advance for all help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
It might not be a problem. The stock roms, all except peetr's 2.3.5 rom, will incorrectly register the 3G icon on the bar. Check the your phone's network status. If it says CDMA- EVDo rev. A, then it is a problem that it says 1X. if it says 1xRTT then its fine as its just 2G
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Exactly what post above says, also to flash to PRL you can't simply put it on SD card and use dialer codes like you can some other devices, you have to use QPST to flash it. If your really interested on flashing it theres a tutorial floating around here on how to use it, I personally run the 01115 business PRL
[Motorola Photon 4G] exitpr0gram:
Thanks for your quick response, i really appreciate that...

BUT, Settings>About Phone>Status> Reads that the Mobile Network Type is "1xRTT:6"

So based off what you said i should be at least 2G speeds regardless of the indicator .... But what about 3G? I am not always around WiFi and could really benefit from the use of it since i can no longer receive 4G =)

Thanks again in advance !
[Motorola Photon 4G] photon4glover:
On joker under mobile network change system select to home only
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
Like photon4glover said, if you're and change the selection, you'll stop force roaming on Verizon's 2g network that you're PRL forces you to. If you cant get a good Sprint signal and you're roaming anyway, I suggest you flash a different PRL like w0lf215 said so that you at least roam on their 3G network. However, you may be booted from Sprint for excessive roaming
[Motorola Photon 4G] exitpr0gram:
Thanks for the responses.

I'm having a hard time understanding why I have to flash a business PRL to get this working properly on every single ROM except stock. I've flashed several phones before without having this issue.

My settings are set to "Home" as suggested. I do not want the possiblity of something happening and having to call and deal with sprint because of some roaming issue. No offense to all the Sprit lovers out there.. but hopefully flashing this business PRL will fix this issue.... I must admit, though... this phone is not as "user friendly" as the others that I've flashed and played around with.

I also have a problem with MMS so I'm thinking about using a different ROM.anyone recommend a good well rounded Rom that works out of the box?

Again, thanks for the input
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
So on the stock rom you're getting 3G Rev.A? I'm just curious since the only custom rom I know might do that is Jokers kitchen sink.
[Motorola Photon 4G] exitpr0gram:
Not sure what the "Rev.A" is ... but yea i do get 3G on stock. Sorry for the late reply don't have much time to check forums lately.
[Motorola Photon 4G] photon4glover:
Its sprints 3g like 4g wimax and lte
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
MMS works out of the gate on the MIUI builds I do (latest is 2.6.29). Saw before that you were mentioning Spleef's MIUI...he's been doing AOKP and others for a couple months now. I'm doin MIUI solo now ( :( ) It's all good. The MMS issue you're probably having is due to an error in your apn-conf.xml file. It's edited correctly in most of the ICS roms except CM9.

If you're looking to do PRL, just flash skinny rev 1 or shadow rom, update your PRL, then flash back to an ICS rom.

It's not bad to work with...just gotta get to know it better. If you have any questions, PM me, and I'll help as best I can.
