I can't believe I'm going to have to do a nandroid restore just because of the CM Updater notification. This is a huge problem with Android. You should be able to force notifications to go away, but even after disabling the app, disabling notifications for the app, clearing data/cache, and hard reseting, the notification remains.

Sorry, I meant this thread. :) "[Firmware][SGH-I777][JB][4.1.1] CyanogenMod 10 preview | USER THREAD"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
User Thread just means it's not specifically for dev discussions about code, etc... It's not a thread where people can come and ask questions without doing any research or trying to solve a problem themselves, it's a thread where if a non-dev notices a problem or bug they can come and discuss solutions with other non-devs and also alert the responsible devs about the problem. Keep in mind that XDA is a development forum, not a forum to come and pimp out your phone so you can impress your friends without any effort on your part.

As a side note: I would think that someone who is a Senior Mod probably knows what this thread and this forum is for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
Sorry, guy. I meant to joke about it because of the thread name, but I guess I didn't indicate that I was joking well enough. I mentioned that I agreed with what zelendel was saying in my first reply, but I guess that wasn't good enough.

And zelendel, I read the link from your banner. Fully agree with you and you can tell by seeing the link in my signature as well.

Side note: While I don't dispute what XDA is about, I believe the majority of people in XDA are not devs and that is where I started the joke. If we expect XDA to be truly a developer forum, at least people should try to discuss problem in terms of change list. Take a look back at one nightly from this week, which effectively killed /sdcard mount point. It was a simple issue you should have been able to discuss in terms of the change list, if you even bother to check out. But no one did (not bragging, but I think I was only one discussed in terms of the change) and that is one reason I decided to joke about it (there were more, of course). So when it comes to a user thread, I don't expect to emphasize on the word "developer". But let me be clear again in case someone again tries to lecture me what people should behave here - being a non-developer doesn't mean you can be spoon-fed. :)

Thanks for reading. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:

Exynos4 devices are on life support in general, especially 4210 devices... Good news is that espen is still working on N8000 (and much of the work for 4412 can be backported to 4210) - bad news is that all of the 4210/4412 maintainers are burned out and angry with Samsung at this point.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Main reason the developers are pissed off at Samsung. Reference source for the Exynos4 platform is piss-poor, and since MHL is closely tied into the graphics subsystem - all of our various graphics issues make MHL close to impossible.

This may change if we have an unexpected breakthrough, but keep in mind, the entire exynos4 maintainer team is burned out and pissed off at Samsung. If they ever keep their promises made at BABBQ this might change, but right now... I don't think that'll happen.

I think entropy mentioned that he was leaning heavily toward experia Z assuming it was reasonably available in the US. And he has a nexus 4 enroute...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Nexus is the only guaranteed success.

Newer Sonys with unlockable bootloaders are next in line - but those are a ***** to obtain in this country (the TL on AT&T is a locked down POS, continuing in the long theme of AT&T-specific devices being ****). I'm really hoping the availability situation for the Z is different.

My Nexus 4 arrives tomorrow... It's definitely going to be my APQ8064 reference device, but... My T might still be my daily driver except when I'm doing "crazy aggressive ****" with it (like the final push on CM10.1 camera... but first I want to clean up a few things in 10.0...)

CM10 on the T is currently WAY beyond where CM10 ever was on any Exynos4 device, but... the remaining things bother me even though they were "totally broken on exynos4" vs. "minor annoyances on the T". As in, if I can convince Kali to merge one patch that has been outstanding for a few weeks (there has been resistance to it for various reasons even though it makes the user experience poor for anyone who wishes to nandroid back and forth between stock for any reason), the only thing remaining will be "anamorphic videos on HDMI are scaled improperly" - yes, I'm getting THAT nitpicky with CM10 on the T... BECAUSE I CAN!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patsmike:
That's really sad, the gs2 had such amazing hardware, its sucks to see samsung mess this one up. Seriously I would probably go back to sg2 from the nexus4 if it was supported better....

Sg2 has a way better camera, is the perfect size and isn't a made completely out of glass.... Seriously I've dropped my s2 too many times to count, but have heard way too many horror stories w/ shattered n4's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csmall:
Pardon my ignorance but what is "T"?

I'm in the market for a new device and would like to get something that should have solid CM support.

I'm on AT&T in the US and have always ignored the Sony devices... But now I'm curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stone_ship:
T = Xperia T, but ONLY the intl version. I don't think anybody is excited about AT&T's Xperia TL (no officially unlockable bootloader).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup. If the TL were unlockable, it would be awesomesauce and I would've bought it on launch day.

There's increasing evidence that Sony will be selling the unlocked waterproof Z directly in the USA in addition to AT&T selling the non-waterproof locked-down ZL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stone_ship:
That would be great! Anything that helps break the carrier stranglehold. Probably going to be a little too expensive for me personally, but if they decided to sell the V for, say, $200 less than the Z....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
My experience with phones in the several years I've been using a smart phone is as follows: if you want a great phone for a cheap price, get a contract. If you want a great phone with great dev support and no contract, buy a non carrier specific phone, but it's gonna cost you a lot more. It's unfortunate, but true. I mean this is a very boiled down analysis of the situation, but really, more international and non carrier specific versions of the phones are supported. I'm assuming this is simply because you don't have to deal with the crap the carrier drops into that phone model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Except with the advent of decent non-contract plans like the Straight Talk $45/month plan - if you combine that with a non-contract phone, you pay significantly less in the long run.

AT&T - 3GB data, 450 minutes, total $70/month plus taxes, 2 year contract. That's for 0 text messages of any sort.

Straight Talk - 2GB data, unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, total $45/month plus taxes.

$25/month delta. Comes to $300/year extra, or $600 per 2 years. I think AT&T does allow you to do an upgrade around 6 months early (or is it only 3 now?), so let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say you're paying $450 extra.

The maximum discount you get for a contract subsidy that I can see is $300. So, you're paying a minimum $150 penalty for going with a contract-subsidized device.

Another way of looking at it - switching to a Nexus 4 on Straight Talk will pay for itself in 12 months or less for 8GB, 14 months or less for 16GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csmall:
It looks like a Nexus 4 for me then. As much as I'd like a Z I don't think it is worth the difference in price. Hard to argue with the Nexus 4 specs and openness for 350
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I was in the at&t store yesterday and a girl who's contract was up wanted to renew it with a new two year contract...for an iPhone 4. Not even the 4s! Cause apparently it's only 99 cents now. I had to fight the urge to shake her.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:

Bout time ;) lol you gonna be working on a kernel for the N4?

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

Honestly, I've had my N4 since launch and I've been admittedly more careful with it than my S2. The "horror" stories about shattered N4's is frankly overblown. I've had a case on mine since day one and dropped it twice with any issue(not major drops but one was off the counter). If you're one who uses your phone w/out a case than the N4 may not be for you. The glass back is more susceptible to breaking, but with a decent case you should be ok. When one gets a new device there is usually a measure of carefulness that goes along with it.

@Entropy Nice to see you grab the N4, the community is much better for it :) btw, if you are planning on an N4 kernel, I'm a pretty good guinea pig ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lekerstein:
This analysis breaks down when you are on a family plan when every slot ($10/line + data) is used (I think a max family is 5 lines). It further breaks down when said plan is paid for by your father in law, as in my case. :) Good for the one-line plan tho.

You guys are depressing me

Sorry guys, but these last posts are depressing me. :( I hate that the development on this phone is dying (dead?).

I switched from a nexus one to the AT&T GS2 because it was close enough to the international version that I thought it would be fine, and for the most part it has been thanks to the Devs here. I just never really thought about what would be next. I am kind of stuck with my next phone choice. I want a nexus, but I don't like that it doesn't have an SD and the size seems small. I would go full price for an international phone, but I want a warranty. I don't know where that leaves me.

The whole reason I even put CM 7 > CM 9 >CM 10>CM 10.1 on this was because I hated the Apple wanna be touch-wiz that it came with, and I wanted to get real updates, not the Samsung delayed, then AT&T delayed crap.

Other than the Sony T (and possibly Z), is there any other manufacturers that are actually open sourcing their stuff? Is the T almost fully open source? From what I read, there is a lot of companies that say they do, but don't. Is there a Cyanogenmod list of devices that are preferred?

Thanks much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desitexan:
Except for the developers, I do not see why any one of you need to think of going for a N4. S2 is still a great phone and has the latest Android on it via CM10.1.

No the next nexus won't be until the end of the year at the least, it has a yearly refresh cycle just like most other phones. The reason most people want the n4 is because they won't have to worry about stuff not being open sourced like they do for this device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I agree. The sgs2 is really slightly too big for my taste. I want a phone I can easily reach the whole screen with my right thumb without adjusting my grip. 4" screen is really the sweet spot for me. However, I'm willing to go larger if the rest of the device hits all my targets. At least on paper, I'm willing to deal with the 5" screen on the xperia z given its basically perfect other specs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dcunited08:
My last phone was 3.2" now this is 4.3" I guess 5.5" should be next... I come to CM so I can get the aosp experience on the phone I have. Now that the Nexus is available directly from Google for the same price of a Note 2, that has never happened before. I think it would be simpler to just buy it.

Basically, any device on contract with AT&T will be an inferior device.

Google Wallet

Miracast AND SlimPort (S2 has MHL, but only if you go back to Touchjizz)

Android 4.2 (CM10.1 doesn't count since it's a crippled derpbeast due to Samsung's reference source being an out of date ****pile)

Whatever comes after 4.2 (The Exynos4 maintainer team is at the end of the line - we're done with Samsung's bull**** past 4.2... It's just too goddamn time consuming compared to a device that isn't a massive minefield of derps.)

You must have some rogue app(s) that is eating away your battery while your phone is in "suspend" mode withe screen off which is keeping it awake and draining your battery.
