Telus

Well call me stupid ( should use Google search more), Telus is indeed a separate company not associated with Bell or Rogers.

Though I do remember an article 5-6 years back about Rogers buying a portion of Telus. That may have just been an investment by the financial arm of Rogers( diversity is a good thing).

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djmatt604:
They're all bullcrap. They all need to push updates sooner. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jmitr:
Well, someone got it correct!

Bell and Telus used to be cdma carriers, when they wanted to launch their hspa network a few years ago they agreed to share the cost by building a network together, hence the "Bellus" term! But.....they are two very separate companies and are going their separate ways with lte.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] newdad:
Rogers announced an update schedule. On there it says that the tab 10.1 and tab 8.9 would be updated in september.

I would love some help with assigning pictures to contacts on stock sammy ROM XWLP7 4.03

I assign every contact an image and all is fine until I reset or turn my phone off and on again, then I lose all my pictures and have to re-assign them.

Surely my phone should save them?

I do have my contacts on my SIM and not on my phone, is this the issue?

I would rather not have my contacts on my phone so if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
I would say yes. SIM card have very limited possibilities. Copy them to phone a try again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
SIMs are pathetic little data storage devices that are designed to basically store a very small (in computer terms) amount of number directly relating to your phone and carrier. They are not designed to carry dozens of images. Move contact to phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I guess that solves it then :)

I moved contacts to my phone instead of SIM and it is now working fine.

Thank you for helping me resolve this little issue.

Save your contacts/contact pics to Google so they are easily transferable to your next android or (heaven forbid) iphone

So I want to buy an unlocked Android GSM phone to use on Straight Talk with an AT&T compatible SIM I will purchase from Straight Talk.

I am confused with phone pricing. How can the Galaxy Nexus be only $350 direct from Google, but older phones, even some that are a couple of years old, are going for quite a bit more than that on eBay USED? I would like to spend under $200 if possible for a Samsung Galaxy S or newer but everything is expensive on ebay.

Is there a better place to get used phones than ebay/Craigslist?

Although the Play Store Nexus is a fantastic deal for a new in box Nexus.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlen22:
Did anyone play 3d games like frontline commando? I need to know if it is just me, I have slow performance issues on this game sometimes. YES it depends on the amount of enemies, but even so it baffles me to see it go visibly sluggish as I play. I dislike playing it less than 60 fps, and though I can believe it won't reach that all the time, I want to know if it is true that it can't play in a consistent 60 fps.

Are you on the stock ROM? Lots of apps running in the background?

So far every game I've run as been very smooth :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vlen22:
Thanks for your finds guys, I'm glad to find out that it does play very smooth. I am at stock rom on the verizon sgs3, I was going to jump the bandwagon of the international sgs3 owners, since its gpu is better. But I was wondering if adreno 225 gpu can hold itself for games like frontlinecommando, it has to be 60 fps all the time. SO you guys aren't running stock? Or have a lot of apps running in the background? I had it with many apps running, took all off except that game and it did improve the performance, but it still did go a bit laggy sometimes.

[General Topics] Milanno:
Hi everyone, I am new here. In free time I like to make various car & motorcycle renders. Recently I decided to start with gadget renders.

This is my vision how next HTC model should look, presented as One L. According to rumors this phone should feature Full HD 5" screen with following specs similar to One series.

In terms of design, my goal was to make elegant shape that is recognizable as part of HTC One family, but in same time that can handle large screen, surrounding it from all sides.

Here is my concept presented as HTC teaser ad:

Front view

Rear view

Comments and constructive critiques are more than welcome :)
[General Topics] mikef:
A 5 inch screen is too large to be comfortable to me. I won't be buying one. The 4.3 inch screen seemed slightly too large until I had it in my hand for a few minutes then it felt fine.
[General Topics] Milanno:
I agree with you, 4.3" is perfect size for me too. But, seems that there is a lot of people that need phones like this. IMO future HTC with 5" screen could be very successful.
[General Topics] mikef:
Hopefully HTC will be successful as I would like to see more handset manufacturers, but I think they have made a big mistake with the One series by making the battery non-removable and not including an SD slot. Unless they reverse that decision and soon I will probably be looking elsewhere. It is really a shame since they did a great job with the Sensation. I really love it, well built, feels solid with the aluminum case.
[General Topics] amus1c:
This looks slick...

I don't think size of the screen matters as long as overall size of device doesn't increases.

If they can cram 5" into existing size then it would be perfect...:) just a thought..
[General Topics] The Janitor Mop:
This. I've been saying this for so long. The argument shouldn't be about display size. It should be about overall phone size. I find my 4.3" Sensation to be the perfect form factor, but if they could fit a 4.7" display in the overall body of a Sensation-sized phone I would buy it in a heartbeat.

The render is beautiful. Thin bezels+large displays are the way for the future of smartphones. People always say this BS about how bezels can't be thinner because you'd accidentally tap the display, but I say BS because when I hold my Sensation I'm never holding any part of the front of the phone. My hand only touches the sides/back. I will jump on small bezel phones the moment they come out.

The render is also noticeably more rectangular than the One X. I wonder if you could do a render of the back? It would be cool to see your own personal touch on that.
[General Topics] Pedestrian Man:
I would buy that ! Almost like I would buy a nexus 7 can you make a render of what you think a HTC one line 7" tab would look like ?

[General Topics] jianC:
I don't think 5 inch would be a problem, since screen size is measured diagonally, the screen needs only to be longer, and fill up the entire front face of the phone (like this one)

Nice rendering btw :)
[General Topics] Milanno:
First of all thanks guys for comments!

I agree with you from word to word! I will try to catch free time during day to post render with rear look of the phone.

That is interesting idea. If I catch enough free time I will try to give my vision how next HTC tablet should look.
[General Topics] Milanno:
Update: Rear view of my concept render for HTC One L.
[General Topics] plasmadan:
Nice! What software u render these on? I've done a lot of work with AutoCAD, might have a go at something like this myself.

5" screen tho... I'm not so sure about, I struggle with the One X in my hand, seems phones are getting bigger & bigger all the time, 3 years ago they were going smaller & smaller lol. :silly:
[General Topics] Milanno:
Thanx! I like to combine programs, but in this case I`ve used Photoshop.
[General Topics] iKoolkid:
Personally, I love the design. Its good looking and I like bigger phones.
[General Topics] Milanno:
Thanx. I hope we will see something like this from HTC very soon!
[General Topics] system.img:
According to me, camera should be atleast 12 mp for a phone like this! ;)
[General Topics] plasmadan:
Here's a design I did yesterday in AutoCAD, not quite the same look as the One series, but it's just a concept. :)

[General Topics] Vmukund:
Nice!
[General Topics] plasmadan:
Thanks! I'm working an another design now :p
[General Topics] chaki-:
Nothing personal m8. You did make an effort to design that but i will never buy such piece with the camera in the middle.......
[General Topics] H2O Rip:
I really like the render on the front. I wonder if it's feasible though unless they axed a front facing camera.

The rear looks like a render to me, a little bit flat, especially around the camera area. It looks like there's a power button on the top, but I don't see any volume rocker - it probably would appear on at least one of the sides no?

I really like the design though. It'll be impressive to see if they manage to get a screen to look like that yet fit in all the stuff they want. Without any real bezel it'll be tricky to get in the prox sensor + cameras + notification LED. But that's what they pay engineers for right? :p
[General Topics] kancherlapraneeth:

Wow milanno, another very talented artist. If you continue your work and contribute to themes you would be the most deserving person of a recognized themer title. My opinion anyway.
[General Topics] CreepyDroid:
The specs are good except for the resolution, it's too high (the battery wouldn't last for more than 2 hours and most of the games will be laggy as he'll - have a look at the Asus infinity 300T for a real life example).

true...there is always the chance your hand is on the camera..when take pics with 2 hands it might work..but nto with making pics with just 1 hand..the discussion about bigger screen is interesting..for me the screen itself could get bigger when the size of the phone itself wont "grow" the same..my sensation felt too big when i hold it in my hand first time..but meanwhile it feels ok..but i dont think i dont want a bigger phone..but there is room for a bigger screen when they make the "frame" smaller..
[General Topics] jetsetwilly:
Woooah! Looks nice, there'll always be a market for a 6 foot phone. ;)

Seriously though, good work on the first two renders. I'd buy one if it looks like this.

Great concept and nice render, I would really look forward to it.

I like HTC alot, even though the ONE X had that huge blunder with non-removable battery and no SD slot.

I hope for a nice HTC come back, or I will have to wait for the next big android release next year and get that.

[General Topics] Anon_:
The phone looks very nice, but the screen size is pushing it. It looks like someone's holding a brick (a very thin one lol) next to their head when I see people with the Note.
[General Topics] Tom-Los:
If this had been available at the time my contract ended, I'd concider buying this. It looks really nice.

One small thing: I think that if the bezel on the top of the phone was a bit taller, the phone would have a more realistic look. ;)

Other than that, Perfect!
[General Topics] cdimarc1:
Nice render, OP. I'm a big fan of the HTC One series, and if anything similar to this ever comes out, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. Large displays are great for folks like me with big hands and big stupid fingers :p

Awesome job on the rendering! Great presentation
[General Topics] jilou_86:
Wow !

5" it's perfect. :D
[General Topics] Z80-Man:
About the size :

A way to get a larger screen without ending with a frying pan is to minimize the border as much as possible, ending with the screen covering the entire surface or so.

The HD2 acheives that by cheating a bit, as the sides are slightly bent inwards from rear to front, hiding the few mm larger the rear cover is. It also keeps the main board clipped in place, as I discovered while changing my wife's screen. :p

Of course, it changes nothing to the actual size, but the phone does look narrower than it really is.

On the other hand, the bent sides also greatly help to improve the grip, so your concept should definitely adopt the same idea, considering holding an even wider phone one-handedly without dropping it will be even more difficult. :)

Anyway, shifty edges do make the item slimmer whatver the actual size or shape. The HD2 back is also curved, this time making it looking slimmer. It's actually slim (I think it's still thinner than the contemporary iPhones 3 and 4), but it looks even slimmer because of this optical illusion.

The shown concept has a Flyer-like back, which is just fine (the HD2 back is really round and it only sits flat because of the camera surround, which wasn't the best idea in the world), but add bent edges so the flange around the screen is reduced to almost nothing, and it will be just perfect. ;)

About other exterior details :

- There should be room for a pair of good speakers, rather than a single poor buzzer (the HD2 speaker is crap, but given the tiny room, nothing else could have fitted).

- Add a front camera for video conferencing !

- Add a kickstand !

About internal characteristics (in the description) :

- Maybe dual SIM ?

- Additional Micro-SD slot.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey shoulder:
I am new here so please bear with me.

I have a "rooted" Nexus S i9020. When I bought it it had Android 4.0.4 installed. Recently I have been receiving a message telling me that a system update to Android 4.1 is ready to be installed. I have tried accepting the update, but halfway through it stalls and all I see is a triangle with an exclamation mark in it. The phone will then not respond and requires removal and refitting of the battery to restart it. Luckily, it has returned to working order with 4.0.4 still installed.

Is the phone not accepting the update because it is rooted?

Can I get the OTA update without erasing all data and settings?

I have an app. called Superuser v.3.1.3 on the phone. It has a box to tick marked "temp unroot" and another "OTA survival".

Would either of these tools be any use?

I have tried to understand all the information given on the forum posts but there is just too much to take in.

Can someone explain what I have to do to get the phone updated without "bricking" it?

When I enter Bootloader mode it says:

FIRST BOOT MODE

PRODUCTNAME HERRING

HW VERSION REV 11

BOOTLOADER VERSION I9020 XXKL1

BASEBAND VERSION I9020 XXKI1

SER.NO etc.

LOCK STATE LOCKED

Is this information helpful? I have read about "clockwork mods" and "Roms", but I don't know what you mean.

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwibis:
Clockworkmod replaces your stock recovery and then giving you options to flash ROMs etc. If you want to learn more... start with the sticky threads in development.

Your phone is rooted so if you want to get the update you need to temp. Unroot using the superuser app like you mentioned. Try to get the update. Please report back if it helped :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey shoulder:
so far no brick...

I ticked the "temp unroot" box and tried installing the update again. Same result. Install stops with exclamation mark triangle and grinning android. Restart by taking out the battery. Ok, I still have a phone. Running Android 4.0.4, but now there is no upgrade available and I will have to wait until they get around to offering it again before I can experiment further. If I check for updates, it tells me that I am up to date.

I wish that there was more information. I mean, what's the point of a triangle with an exclamation mark? Why can't it tell me what the problem is? Then I might be able to fix it.

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply.

PS. This device cost me £150, I really don't want to break it, and I would like to be in control of it. If I brick it, then I suppose I will sigh, then go down to Carphone Warehouse and sign a contract for a locked, dumbed down, boring, toe-the-line Samsung SIII. But I would much rather be the master of a rogue, rooted, rough and ready-for-anything Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .NetRolller 3D:
The triangle with an exclamation mark is most likely your stock recovery, that somehow got restored. Re-flash CWM or TWRP, then try to apply the OTA again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwibis:
Can't you be rooted and not have cwm?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducux:
Install rom manager... the cwm 6.0.1.0 applies the ota.

Make sure you tick ota survival in superuser and after the ota cwm will ask you is you want to keep the stock recovery for next boot or keep the cwm.

Then it asks you to fix root rightz..select fix . And now you got the 4.1.1 rooted by ota ;)

thank you all, i am working on it, but i still don't understand.

Jayjay: I downloaded the SDK and followed the instructions in the guide you suggested, but my PC does not recognize the Android device.

When I try to browse for the driver software I get a Hardware Update Wizard, and then I'm up to my ass in alligators. "Choose Hardware Type" it says but none of them are accepted. There is no choice called "Android Bootloader Interface". There are 2 folders, one for i386 and one for amd64, my PC is athlon64X2 so I look in there, and there are 3 "dll"s but nothing with that name.

Anyway I thought my phone was already rooted, why do I have to root it again? Must it be done in a certain way so that you can be sure that it was done properly?

I will keep trying, but this is bloody hard work.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey shoulder:

I have read this on another forum:

Please note that you cannot flash clockwork on Samsung Phones using ADB, or ROM Manager (you'll hard brick the device). If there is a version of clockwork (specific to that particular Samsung device) it must be flashed using Odin.
