[LG Nitro HD] 996gt2:
Hardware wise: 8/10. Great screen, relatively thin, nice camera. Build quality could be a bit nicer though, especially compared to phones like the One X.

Software wise: 2/10. Very late ICS update, almost zero chance of an official Jelly Bean update, unstable CM9 nightlies/RCs (random reboots, flickering, GPS not working, etc). CM10 preview still has major issues to be worked out. Bad battery life with all of the ROMs I've tried, including the latest V20C official ICS from LG. CM9 RC2 was promising initially but battery life is also not good on that ROM. UI "smoothness" is also really lacking, especially when compared side by side with a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean. The Nexus's UI just flies compared to the laggy, sometimes flickering transitions on the Nitro HD.

Overall: 5/10.
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
HW: 8/10 I wish it had NFC lime the optimus.

SW:7/10. ICS was late, but its awesome. CM10 also is very stable for me, not like you guys with random reboots and stuff.
[LG Nitro HD] jjflores87:
root

The fact that its not as easy to root is the main reason i gave it a 5, also new update ****ed up my battery life bad
[LG Nitro HD] 8mileroad:
Glad to see you guys are satisfied with your Nitros. My vote was a 5, and here's why:

Hardware - Fantastic screen, but I'm not much of a screen guy. I actually like the Galaxy Nexus's screen more which I know makes no sense at all. Decent processor/graphics. Suspect build quality. Subpar camera. Poor reception. No NFC. Overall, 7/10.

Software - Gingerbread up until very recently. Hard to root. Poor developer support, and really just poor developers other than the CM team. Easy to brick. I haven't been able to try ICS for the phone but I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt. Overall, 3/10 on Gingerbread, but I'll give it 5/10 for ICS.

That would give it a six, but I feel like five accurately expresses my feeling towards the phone more.
[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
I love my phone. I'm on CM9 stable and I love this phone. I'd have to give the phone probably an 8 only gig on it being battery life .
[LG Nitro HD] 903idcop:
9/10

I have been using my Nexus One ever since it came out and I bought it from Google online directly. A month ago I flashed CM9 on it and it still runs great!

However, accidentally found a very good deal for P936 so I've decided to give it a try since it's only USD3.00 different for upgrading to 4G plan from my current 3G plan that still have almost 2 years contract.

There are only 3 choices that support 4G on the market: LG-P936, HTC-OneXL, and Samsung GS2-LTE. Whether from the device outlook or the screen quality, P936 is far better than the others, the only disadvantage is OS version - GB... but with CM9, especially the stable release that released recently, I'm falling in love with my P936 more and more on a daily basis!

Hooray!

I gave a 9 for me its a really great phone. Wouldnt need a better one.Didnt give a 10 cause i noticed a couple of bug like download failed and thats about it.Im stock 2.3.5.Really wondering too update to 4.0.4 im just afraid that it will be buggy or the performance will be worse.Can anyone say something about official ics? Is it smooth,do videos lag,do games lag, and is benchmarking and the browser good?
[LG Nitro HD] SeriousGeorge:
Performance and stability were great with the official ICS for me. I had a bug where the phone would never go to sleep so standby time was terrible. It looks like some other people have ran into that one as well, but not everyone. I'm back on CM9 for now, but I'll try the official version again in the future.
[LG Nitro HD] frankmehta:
Gave it a 6 because hardware-wise, it's a 8/10, but software wise it's a 4/10. I had stock GB which was, well, GB. Then I took like 12 hours (at a stretch) to get it rooted. After that I installed a CM10 nightly only to face random reboots and an 8 hour battery standby time, alongwith abysmal network performance.

After that I installed HO-NO's latest Stock build. Everything is smooth, but the phone gets stuck for a few seconds and then goes into some sort of deep sleep. I need to do a battery pull every 2 hours.
[LG Nitro HD] Sparcot:
It' a 9! A good phone. Good hardware (enough for me). Good software (after LG released latest v20c for it)...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rolyatkcinmai:
For the past 24 hours my Skyrocket has started randomly shutting itself off every hour or so and then beginning to just slightly vibrate (like haptic feedback). Holding down the power button will start it back up, but obviously this is pretty terrible.

Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this? I'm using an older NexusMod (ICS) and had no issues with it for the first 6 weeks or so. People have suggested the charger might be messing it up, but it continues to happen after using both my Skyrocket charger and my Nexus 7 charger.

i cleaned my battery contacts and the problem went away for me FYI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MadnessG:
Happened to me also. Found out my phone was hot to the touch, so I removed my case, and let the battery cool down. Now I don't use a case, and it doesn't happen anymore.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rEVOLVE:
It's a combo of the white plastic bumper case you see floating around on the web and the OEM white flip cover.

I chose a pebble blue GS3 over the white because I actually don't like the way the white GS3 looks on the front when the screen is off (due to the contrast of the black screen to the white frame). But with this combo, there's very little bulk, great protection,decent grip and I got that Storm Trooper look!

I don't use the flip cover all the time as it does become annoying when you have to use the phone a lot or especially when taking pictures. I did get an extra white battery back which makes it nice to just have the white back and bumper (just imagine it without the white front).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Quite impressive! Never thought about doing something like this. Can you post a pic of the setup without the flap?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] r2hudson:
i really like this look, i saw the genuine samsung flip cover on it, could you put a link to the bumper?

Also i probably wouldnt want the flipcover on there all the time. i had an idea, to cut off the flip cover so i could reattach it when ever i put it in my pocket. how do you think that would work out?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The_Biz:
You should put two small slits on that bumper at the edge of the flip.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rEVOLVE:
The original bumpers I ordered

The aluminum bumper I'm waiting on

Pictures of the aluminum bumper as requested. I don't like it as much as the TPU and rubber bumper because it adds significantly to the overall size of the phone. REALLY feels big i my hand now. As you can see the ports and buttons are now set so deep from the bumper exterior that certain cables just don't reach and it's now difficult to press power/volume. Aluminum FEELS awesome, though. Will continue to look for a bumper that's thinner profile and metal feel like this one. Protection is exceptional due to thickness. I actually dropped my phone from about 5' in our server room today onto a tiled floor. No damage to the phone and just wiped a smudge off the bumper.

The neodymium magnets I ordered to try to see if I can make the front cover detachable

These magnets are small enough where I might be able to insert them into/under the front cover and attach to (inside?) the bumper. I'm not too worried about the cover falling off as if you put enough of these in the right place, they're pretty hard to pull apart - I'm actually more worried that the magnets would make the flip come apart in time if I insert them inside the flip. Too bad I can't find a stainless steel bumper as aluminum isn't magnetic.If anyone has seen one, please link me to it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tomaslxix:
That looks awesome.

How do you feel about the rubber bumpers? They look pretty cool. Do the side buttons lose any responsiveness?

Might have to get myself one of those
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kam51:
Please let us know how that white aluminum bumper works out for you... I think I might need one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sansaman:
You mean black bumper, right?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kam51:
Nope. A bit further down he's got a link to a white aluminum bumper he said he's waiting to receive.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rEVOLVE:
thanks. rubber bumpers are cool because they give the grip that's missing when the rest of it is glossy and smooth, so it's a nice contrast not just in terms of color but texture. Because of the side buttons being under the rubber part, they work well - maybe I accidentally trigger volume/power a lot less than i used to without. Responsive as needed w/o being hyper sensitive to touch.

on another note, another reason i wanted to do just the back and the bumper is I wanted to do the palm pre/touchstone hack for inductive charging. With this setup the little lump caused by squeezing the Palm Pre inductive coils into the back battery cover is lessened by the bumper so it lays flat on the table. Other people who just have the back and maybe a TPU case over it have this wobbly situation because it's not flat. This bumper alleviates that. Charges well through the battery back on the Touchstone while still feeling like it's protected due to the bumper.

This is awesome man! Can you make a YouTube vid? Please!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flashcity90:
i did something just like this but used a hard silicone case instead of bumper

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1790106
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rEVOLVE:
Nice - If i used a full case I'd throw a kickstand version on instead of just a regular case - might as well go all out if you're adding the extra thickness.

That's the only thing I'm missing on mine - thinking of adding an insert that stows away on the back and when you pull it out and stick it back in the top of the bumper becomes a kickstand.

There's actually a pretty cool kickstand case I got for one of my users that has a kickstand, but not sure the Palm wireless charging mod would work with it. I love the wireless charger, though and that's why i used a bumper.

The radio was not reflashed after USC_19 full sbf. So the radio must have been there before. How have you got it there? I would like to know too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
If someone can fix bootstrap to flash the KDDI radio I do not think there are any security measures that are stopping us(just buggy bootstrap). Alternatively if someone can get a hold of a Japanese SBF we could also use that to unlock people stuck on 2.3.5(latest KDDI rom should be sv2).
[Motorola Photon 4G] solidus636:
it was stuck on sprint and still has a locked bootloader. after flashing usc 19, the modem was unlocked. i have no idea. and no the radio was definitely the sprint radio prior to this flash.

What am I reading here? Does this mean that the kiddi radio is buried in our phones dormant?

Has anyone been able to duplicate what happened to the original poster?
[Motorola Photon 4G] matt51:
Yep!! Just did it, same steps the OP did, took a couple reboots afterwards for the baseband to go from "Unknown" to 'N_02.29.04P"

On a locked Photon 4G, been locked for quite a while (SOB's!!):

Flashed the full sbf: 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US.sbf

Flashed the unbrick: 2.3.5_45.4.13ota_unbrick.sbf

Rooted with Photon Torpedo

Installed the MOTODX2 bootstrap

Installed Peetr's rom: HybridGBv20locked.zip (Was bootlooping, had to do a factory reset after this part)

Took two reboots before it showed up as the Japanese radio, and if it matters, in between the first and second reboot, I tried to install the KDDI zip from bootstrap twice, both failed. After that reboot, baseband ver went from unknown to N_02.29.04P.

Just need to get home from deployment and use it, just ported my number from Sprint to Google voice, gonna give the prepaids a shot when I get home, if it works, awesome, if not, Nexus 4 here I come.
[Motorola Photon 4G] matt51:
Just to expand on this, I bootstrap installed the Slim Photon build by mof9336 because I like the power toggles a little better, but the baseband showed up as unknown again, tried 3 reboots, still unknown. Reinstalled peetr's HybridGB, did a factory reset after, and it's back to showing up as the N_02.29.04P radio, something about that rom I guess, I may try the other locked builds to see if any others work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JohnH4:
Can anyone else verify that this method to install the kidi radio works on their device? And does this method imply that kidi radio and possibly others exists and lays dormant in stock mophos? Developers, what do you think?

Hello everyone!

I tried to install cm9 rc2 on my skyrocket and have got myself into a boot loop.

I did all the steps mentioned in the official cyanogenmod skyrocket wiki. i am not able to post the link because i am new to this forum

Now, the problem is cwm only shows me ROMs that are there in the internalSD. and currently the internal SD has only the cm9-rc2 rom. And this doesnt work. How do i copy anything onto the internal sd of my skyrocket so that i can get cwm to install it?

even my backup roms are on the external sd and i am not able to open the external sd through cwm

I hope my question is clear.

I was not running stock initially. i had bought a rooted skyrocket off ebay. i guess this is why the cm9-rc2 is giving me issues.

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
First try installing RC2 again but this time wipe your caches both before AND after you install. Usually the bootloop happens when using the non-touch CWM or one of the other funky versions (5.8.4.3), which version are you using? And it can be avoided by flashing the darkside-cache-wipe zip after installing. Although I assume you don't have that on your SD card.

If that doesn't work you can transfer files to your phone from your computer either by mounting USB storage through CWM or ADB pushing the files through CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Time for excessive wiping :). Wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, format/data, format/system, format/cache x3. I do this now when when flashing as wipe instructions vary rom to rom so I just get all my bases covered :P. It doesn't take long to do a couple wipes so this can act as a do it your self super wipe

I installed cm9 without issue doing this. Yes it's excessive but it will make u happy when cm9 loads

Edit: didn't read all your questions the first time so here goes.

You can access your files by plugging your phone into PC while in cwm and then go to mounts and storage -> mount USB storage. This will allow you to transfer necessary files.

Q: Are u saying cwm isn't recognizing your external SD?

Don't use dark side cache wipe. I am 99.9% sure you aren't supposed to use dark side on cm9 / AOSP roms. Download the latest cm9 nightly along with gapps. Do the wipes I described in the post above and flash cm9 nightly followed by gapps. Reboot when complete and let the phone sit so everything can settle in

Wiping extra times has nothing to do with it and won't help the situation. The bootloop is very common and all depends on the version of CWM you're using. And v5.8.4.3 doesn't allow for flashing from external SD, so maybe that's the one he's using.

Than he should place a cwm flashable 5.8.1.3 cwm on internal and flash that so he can gain access to external SD. It should be in vincoms sticky on everything root below
