[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noneone:
You can go to other threads, gsmarena, etc., and see the phone spec differences.

Just a couple things that might be a little subtle from just looking at the specs .....

The S2 has faster HPSA, 42 MBS theoretical VS 21 on the Gnexus. Most PHONES can't take advantage of that speed by themselves (or users don't). It makes a difference for me, as I hotspot and run a computer off of my tmobile connection. You do need to be in a tmo 42 mbs area for this to be useful, however, so, if you're not, this feature might not be "worth it" for you.

PENTABAND? What provider do you use, are you looking to do contracts? Straight Talk (att and tmobile) and tmobile itself, offer great pay per month contracts (plenty of posts on the ST $45 unlimited everything plans). The S2 is faster ON TMOBILE, but, while it can run on ATT for voice, data is very slow. The nexus is fast on both ATT and Tmobile.

Pentaband is a good feature if you are looking to switch between att and tmo (maybe one gets better reception when you're at school, the other when you're at home ?).

A THOUGHT HERE is the ATT S2 SKYROCKET, apparently, it runs ATT fast natively, AND, can be flashed to the Tmo version (Tmo S2 doesn't have the same radio, so doesn't work the other way)

As others have mentioned, more developer support for the GN, less for the S2, but, ... the S2 has lots of good roms too.

SD CARD - is "WORTH" it to me. I am in hotels a lot, have a large collection of blu ray DVDs I've converted using DVD Catalyst, and have many on micro SD cards ... and I can use my phone as a movie player if the hotel (or if I go to a friends house) TV has HDMI.

The built in memory on the GN is not so small that its a big hinderance, I can still fit a movie or two and hundreds of hours of songs, so, long as you plan you're fine ... removeable SD allows you to bring your entire song collection and dozens of movies.

That's useful for me, might not be "worth it" for you.

Both are great phones, FOR ME, the Nexus is much more versitile if you're looking to maximize pay as you go plans and carrier useage, the S2 if you are looking for pure data speed and SD is a little stronger.

Good luck with your choice, and let us know how it turns out!

Oh my what did I walk into here? JB is also being/has been ported to the SGS3. A re-up on your two year would have gotten you a SGS3 either a 16gb or 32gb.

Thoughts

So here are my thoughts as I wait for my Nexus (which I get till Thursday because of 4th of July

Camera - Camera isn't a big deal for me. For simple snap shots here and there 5MP is enough for me.

Storage - On my GS 2 I had the internal 16GB (really about 11GB) and external 16GB that I took from my HTC G2. I have all of my music on Google Play so music didn't use up a lot of space (only the pre-cached songs took up some space). If I can remember most of my storage was used up by ROMs on the internal SD and CWM backups. I won't be flashing ROMs like crazy with the Galaxy Nexus.

Data - I'll be honest, most of my data came from Facebook (which I don't like but most of my friends have one), Twitter, Instagram, and Google Plus. 21mbps is fine for me

Display - The Nexus has a 720p display. The GS 2 has a 800x480 so the difference will be noticeable. I know its pentile but I don't think it affects the images much, right?....

ROMs - There is so many Developers on the Galaxy Nexus side. I was looking for the nicest AOSP ICS ROM for the T989. Sadly most of them had bugs (All software will have bugs, there is always room for improvement and can be solved with time). I know eventually the great devs of the T989 will work them out. The Galaxy Nexus gets Android updates first and has so many ROMs. At least one of them will be good for me. And I'm really looking foward to rooting and getting some Jelly Bean action.

I guess I will really know what I think about the Nexus a week after I get it, which is on Thursday -___- (being phone less sucks, kinda wish I had my 3GS as a backup phone right now.....)

Does Nexus have wifi calling with TMobile?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rivas741:
Wi-Fi Calling

I don't think it does. I have never used Wi-Fi calling. I get good reception at home and at school.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
No not at all you and you the master of your own destiny. And may you become a great Dev.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drLouie:
The camera is my biggest concern. I'm wondering what the next 6 months with bring in a nexus refresh. I would love to see a beast of a phone come out for the next nexus line. By then I should have enough cash saved up to buy whatever is out.

I still like my S2, and after wiping it and doing a clean install I'm much happier with ICS on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
If you haven't ordered a GNex yet, looks like you'll have to wait until the lawsuit is over, or get one used. Play Store no longer allowing sales on the GNex.

Nexus may not be a good choice due to the reported issues, bad signal, bad standby time, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rivas741:
I'm glad I made the switch. I got my phone on Thursday. I was excited and slapped a screen protector and case right away. In total the phone was 387 with tax and shipping to California. Jellybean is amazing. The battery life is a lot better than ICS on my old T989 (it was running AOKP). I'm just disappointed about the speaker. Music playback is great with DSP manager. No complaint there. YouTube however volume is really low. Hopefully cyanogen mod X (10) and a kernel will fix the low volume. I am really impressed on how stable the ICS Roms are (it was released with ICS anyways) and I have no regret on jumping to the Nexus boat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defconoi:
same here, best choice ever, I get 2-3 hours screen on time and battery lasts 16 hrs with poor coverage at work with wifi on all day, performance rocks, im keeping my t989 for my gf in hopes it gets jb since aosp dropped today
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rivas741:
I just can't get over how fast we get updates. I was on 4.1 and just today I updated to 4.1.1. Its truly amazing. And the nexus is going to be updated to 4.2 or 5.0 without a doubt in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
About to purchase a used GNex. Anything in particular I should look out for when examining it? I mean of course, besides the signs of wear, scratches.

Can the IMEI be blacklisted by TMo?

Edit: NVM, it was the Nexus S, not the GNex. That's what i get for not paying attention. Looked at the ad again later and it clearly stated "Nexus S". I thought 185 sounded too good to be true when i first glanced and thought it was the GNex. But still, not bad price if you just don't want to or can't justify spending 350+ tax and you just want a pure Google experience or want a test phone for app development.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marksatterfield:
So I just bought a T989 for $300 (Tmo bloatware and all, but it does have 4.0.4). Are you running your new Nexus on Tmo or another carrier? I'd like to switch to an ATT MVNO like Straight Talk for better coverage.

I've read the Tmo T989 doesn't work on ATT, but I just can't figure out how that can be. Is the Galaxy Nexus radio stack different?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] h.nocturna:
Works fine, but data speeds suffered when I was using a Skyrocket on T-Mobile. I'm guessing the reverse would be true. Try flashing an AT&T modem on it, you'll receive their HSPA+, but no LTE. Sometimes I got data speeds that were 12Mbps, other times, I was stuck at 0.8Mbps, so I guess the area also has an effect on the data speeds.

I'd trade my mint sgs2 for a nexus anytime.. Just for the development options and fast updates..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
DO IT. I for one can't wait to get back on the Nexus line. Some may say I'm crazy but at times I'd rather have my old Nexus s 4g than this t989. It was a bit of a let down in the development area. Actually a huge let down. But that's to be expected I guess.

So i installed minicm6 and i installed the oc moudle.

But after every boot the phone "dont know" what is it overclock!

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] loerkus:
I have an A511. Yesterday I used it outside. Thereby I have recognized strange color effects. When I tilt it (by >50°) the reflected light look like a rainbow. The pattern changes by tilting and rotating my tablet. Is that normal or a defect? Acer support claims that it it normal and caused form some kind of organic glue. Can that be?

Kind regards

Loerkus
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] vBoedefeld:
same on A700

i took a picture, seems to be the same effect on my A700...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] vBoedefeld:
Just got an answer from Acer to this effect: this is normal if you touch the panel with force, you see the layer between the panel and the touchscreen.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] loerkus:
Very interesting. Can you repost your picture please (dead link). I have attached a picture of the interefence pattern of my tablet for crosscheck reason. See here http://db.tt/9yMC5p0V
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] loerkus:
I do not touch it for seeing the color pattern. If this is true than my display shows strong tensions.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] vBoedefeld:
polarization

I see what you mean, i think this is caused for the same reason. As i think about it, i got the idea that this is only caused by the refraction of the light. The emitted light of your monitor is polarized, and refracts in addition on your panel of the acer. it is in fact a simple physical effect. If you use polarized glasses or a polarizationing filter from a digital camera, you may see an similar effect, if you spin the glass by 90 degrees. Preesing on the panel leads to a minimal bend and mirrored light refracts into its basic colors. Lools like oil on the panel. What i see in your picture is the polarized filtering of the monitors light. It leads in the refraction to lighrs basic colors...

Same cause, similar effect but quiet normal, i think.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] loerkus:
I agree with your explanation but it is also visible when I look at the reflected sky. Ok, in that case it is not so strong but I want to be sure that the display is OK. I have only 2 days left sending it back (and lock + unroot it:cool:)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] vBoedefeld:
don't worry

from my point of view ;) the effect only occurs by reflected light and not from the display by itself. If your display is ok, you won't see this color disturbances by normal looking (without any mirrored light) - so you may keep it. I can't verify it on my A700 under clear sky conditions in this intensity, i think it depends on the panel resolution and the attached filters within the panels.

By the way, i'm not sure, if there is a (hidden) flag in the Acer Android system to check if the device had been unlocked before. Motorola (for example) added a constant/variable to the system. After relocking and unrooting the device still sends after "fastboot getvar INFOiswarrantyvoid" = yes. There was no known way to change this constant. Neither by reflashing stock firmware nor by setting this explicit value...
[LG Nitro HD] Q48VW:
So my dad just got an LG Nitro HD for work, and I'm not totally sure, but I'm suspecting he updated it to V10j without knowing it would keep us from rooting it. I've tried every root method under the sun for this phone, and yet no root. So do you guys know if there is any hope to root this phone after being updated?

[LG Nitro HD] dillonr:
I have V11a...is this rootable also?

edit: Yes, it is...superoneclick
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Can't you follow the unbricking guide and flash the phone to an older firmware? That way you can root, get CWM, and flash whatever version of android you want to try out!
[LG Nitro HD] Q48VW:
I've heard of that, but I was must wondering if there was an easier way, like a oneclick. I could even settle for a manual root method. It's just that downgrading seems to be my worst enemy.
[LG Nitro HD] dillonr:
i am running V11a, using my maths skill i think it's a newer version, try to update...V11a is rootable by superoneclick :D
[LG Nitro HD] compumasta:
You could try to get V11a that dillonr suggested and try to root that. You would have nothing to lose really, since you cant root V10j. If it doesnt work then you're stuck on having to use the unbrick method, its a bit of a pain and time consumer, but its what i had to do. If you are thinking about going to CM9, the unbrick method is totally worth it.
[LG Nitro HD] Q48VW:
I've tried updating the phone, and it says there's no update. Should I wait for an update or just go for the unbrick?
[LG Nitro HD] dillonr:
I would unbrick..would be quicker
[LG Nitro HD] Q48VW:
Do you know if the next version up is rootable with one click? And if so, how would I force the update?
[LG Nitro HD] dillonr:
i have V11a, it IS rootable (my phone as proof)

i am not sure how to force the updates, but if you can wait until tomorrow i will have the .img files uploaded for V11a...

i have no idea how to get them running on your device though, i'm just learning, myself
[LG Nitro HD] immascorpio1114:
How do I go about updating my lg nitro? I downloaded the v11a files
[LG Nitro HD] dillonr:
you can follow the unbricking method, that should work...
[LG Nitro HD] bennet46:
Unbrick the phone

I would go through the unbricking process if you plan to flash any custom ROMs. The unbricking method seems to do something to the phone that's require to flash HO!NO!'s CWM ROM for the LG ICS leak.

It would make the phone a little more future proof for any ROMs released that may have the same requirement
[LG Nitro HD] dillonr:
i called bell canada today, and they said they will be releasing ICS for our phones June 16 :D

you have to wait a few more days, but you should be able to update then :D
[Galaxy S III General] zziggy:
I always looked for an odexed rom on my old SGS1 when I was on a Samsung rom. Like Stock+ or Tornado.

Anyone willing to have a go because it's something that's missing from the SGS3 so far.

My own phone here has Stock LF2 odexed, franco kernel, LEA modem, Circle % battery mod, 4 way reboot, some bloatware removed, cell standby fixed, call recording, all just from mods posted here. If I knew how to I'd make and call it a rom I would ! :-)
[Galaxy S III General] norpan111:
There is a way, there is a program here on xda that makes a flashable rom zip directly from your phone... Can someone remember the name of it? Rom factory? :s
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
why? You have not said why you need an odexed Rom.
[Galaxy S III General] norpan111:
Some say it's faster, I thought it was only slightly faster boot time.. :s
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
It won't make any noticeable difference on this phone, and if it did it would only be during boot, when the phone is up and running there is no difference.

The reason that most custom roms are deodexed is because it makes it easier to customise and tweak app/UI etc etc
[Galaxy S III General] zziggy:
I've odexed my current rom using Paul O'Briens odex-me app ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514576) just to see if it causes any problems. 24 hours have passed and there's no problems. It's as smooth as. I didn't do any benchmarks so any improvement might be my imagination. You need a kernel with init.d support for the scripts to work.

Might be an insignificant speed boost but at least there's a way to do it.

Hey guys I don't want to offend anyone but these days I see a lot of ROMs which are basically stock ROMs with a theme and/or a few extra apps added. Please bring more variety to the type of ROMs that you release. Just releasing a ROM with 1 or 2 addons is like spamming. Do something new rather than doing the same things again and again..
