[Galaxy S III General] fulcrum1971:
The first Samsung device I had was the S1 followed by the note, then the S3 and now the note 2(btw I still have all the devices) TW sucked on S1 and the note but now on the S3 and the note 2 it is awesome. It brings so much more on the table. Have tried stock jb on my s1 and the note but tw on s3 and note 2 is brilliant. Have not gone on to a different launcher on both these phones. So for me N4 is a no go. The other cons are the lack of sd card support and lg. The only pro is regular updates on nexus devices.
[Galaxy S III General] Konflict1471:
Have to admit, for 300 it is an absolute bargain for a phone with those specs.

I'm kind of astounded that it IS so cheap. Surely there is something lacking? (Other than the SD card slot.)

For games...

I actually play emulators. I prefer my old games to the new ones, like Donkey Kong :D:D

I play GBC, GBA, Game Gear and N64.

And those games are only like 20MB max, so for me 16GB is no problem.

[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
@ XDA mark :

Your post has some excellent and inspired insights, but I disagree on a few points:

- SD card:

I, for one, cannot live without it, specially because of the camera. Although I agree that not having a removable back cover is indeed an upgrade, the SD card can be inserted through lateral slots, like on a few Motorola (Razr, Xoom, etc).

Google is really trying to get users to give up having SD cards in their phones. Not only the Nexus devices don't feature one, but also the feature of moving apps to the SD card has been absent from Android since 4.0.4. Up to ICS 4.0.3 in the Galaxy S II we could move the app to sd card (natively) to free up valuable space in the device.

My S III has become my main camera, and I use both for photos and movie. I currently have 24Gb of movies stored in the SD card (waiting to be moved to the PC) and when I travel I simply take a second 32Gb uSD card with me (in case I fill up the 1st one)

I also agree that Google is making very little money with the Nexus. Perhaps their intention is to make it a popular device thus gain in the volume of sales, rather than individual margins. Since the Nexus by LG has very high-end specs, it is here to compete head-to-head with iPhone 5.

You were dead-on when you mentioned that this is the bar, the price/specs ratio which other manufacturers will have to follow. I go further: it's a new paradigm: forget about the hardware, focus in the software.

Like I just wrote in another topic (here at the XDA forums), the gap in hardware specs between manufacturers is getting narrower and narrower. What will become the real sales appeal is added value, achieved through software customizations and design.

Again, great post! Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
I also like emulators but that includes Ps1 & N64 and just for those 2 systems my favourite 23 games takes up over 7gb not including all the 8&16 bit games, and I just like to know when I've got some time to kill they always there ready to play instead of taking the iPhone & Nexus route where you can only have a tiny amount of what you want.

Great GPU and RAM, but all hampered by limited Mass Memory! If this had a 64GB variant it would be the perfect Android!

Im also looking at Nexus 10, apparently there's even a Nexus 10 64GB in the pipeline! :)
[Galaxy S III General] icebox4u:
Just don't care for LG.. Their smartphones anyway, I love their TV's. On par with Samsung on that behalf. On the other hand, I've had several LG smartphones and all but one failed me within 4 months. Not cool. It's bad when the AT&T guys is like, "We get about 15% of our LG phones returned for hardware problems or general failure." When I asked about the rate on Samsung device returns, he said he's only seen at highest 6%, caused by the original Galaxy.

S3 it is for me lol.

[Galaxy S III General] memebr:
I was losing faith over this place till i read that, congrats sir! Apparently you are the only one in here thinking out of the box and using your brain.

I share the same opinions as you do, Google would never put a project like this one in hand of a OEM that cant build a trustful device.
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
Google let the OEM's design the devices, If Google did that they would do it themselves.
[Galaxy S III General] memebr:
According to Google's last promotion video about the Nexys 4, was saying that the LG team was working in the Google complex together with the Google engineers.

LG is just putting the phone together, the project belongs to Google.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inflamess:
With the new nexus 7 32(3g) release.

can this make phone call?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohcho:
Yes and no.

The 3G+HSPA+ is probably only for data, so if you use a VOIP service, then yes, but not like a traditional cell call.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clubtech:
This might not be entirely accurate.

A change in the framework-res file can expose the phone app.

The questions remains is if the modem iteself supports voice calls or only data.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kepas:
Hello, everyone. Does this nexus 7 3g variant uses sim slot? and which one, micro sim or regular? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inflamess:
3g

Looking to replace my Galaxy Tab 7.7 if it supports voice call
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaFractor:
Let me look at mine......

OH SNAP, there's no SIM at alll!! Or is that because neither myself nor anyone outside of Google have a 7 3G yet?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer8297:
Think it's standard sim. I really hope this this can make calls, for get about Galaxy note II! My nexus 7 has a bigger screen.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
It's a micro SIM. I don't have the link handy, but if you go to the Play Store and go to "more info" for the 3G N7, there's a section showing and describing inserting a micro SIM.

What I want to know is whether I can use the same SIM (T-Mobile) in both the N4 and the N7, and swap between them at will.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MakeW00t:
I thought that I just borrow this thread instead of making a new one. So does the HSPA+ N7 use Dual Carrier 4G (42mbits) or just regural 3G (21mbits)?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
Does it really matter?

If you have a Standard sized SIM, just make a few cuts with scissors.

If you have a "Micro SIM" but the "SIM Adapter" which you place the Micro SIM inside to make it larger.

And Since Neither T-Mobile or AT&T (The largest GSM providers [in the US]) use Micro SIM (Other than for Iphones) I'm pretty sure the Nexus 7 will have a standard SIM slot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
See my above post. N7 100% is micro SIM, not standard.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GinoAMelone:
According to this, it will be HSPA+ 21.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovalman:
I'm also curious as to whether the 3G version can make calls?

What are the problems to using this as a regular phone?

I'd really like to make and receive calls with a bluetooth headset and use the tablet as a PDA. The 7" screen would be perfect for a business solution I can think of while being able to integrate phone calls would solve the need for 2 devices. 7" is just the right size being a lot bigger than a phone but small enough to use as a mobile device.

I know no-one has got their hands on a 3G version but any input would be of help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZanshin:
I wanted to know this as well, if not couldn't we take the config to make phone option available and place it on a PA Rom. If not calls I hope google allow it to make text messages.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMJets:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyomagi:
should i just get a nexus 7 instead?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
If you want a full fledged android device, I wouldn't bank on the KFHD anytime soon. The bootloader is locked up tight.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyomagi:
Thank you, is there a way to get a similar interface like the KFHD? I kinda like it
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
None of the roms I've seen for the N7 have that carousel feature. Most people that want to throw a rom on a Kindle tend to dislike that interface. You can try searching but I find it unlikely.

Root it KFHD

I have my KFHD rooted and have ADW EX launcher installed and set as my default desktop. I hit the home button and I have a "stock" Android tablet (complete with Play Store and any app from there I want - although a very few won't work). I run the Amazon "launcher" (I have it as a shortcut in the ADW dock) and I have the KFHD desktop carousel.

So, with my setup, I have the best of both in one - a stock Android 4.x tablet (well, 98%) and the KFHD tablet. :victory: You won't get that with the Nexus.

You don't get the Amazon Prime Video (and maybe any Amazon video?) with the Nexus. I had both and kept the KFHD over the Nexus for the Amazon goodies!

Hope that helps your decision.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyomagi:
can you post more information on how you did that? I have the root guide, but i have no info on the ADW launcher.

Also, is there a way to expand the kindle fire memory via usb cable or any other means?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
I had a rooted KFHD and it felt like nothing more than a gimped android device. You won't have Google now, no voice commands (unless Amazon implements it), talk isn't fully functional, and so forth. These will all be dependant on a custom ROM.

I am not a big media consumer so the Amazon ecosystem is not what I want. I enjoy the openness of the nexus and all the new jellybean and beyond updates from Google. Amazon will just be Amazon.

Don't get me wrong, the KFHD is not a bad device at all, you just need to like their ecosystem. It's even better if you have Amazon prime to help you consume media for "free".

It comes down to your needs and wants but again, if you're just looking for KFHD hardware and pure android software, it's not the best choice right now until the bootloader gets unlocked. That was the position I was in and I did not regret returning the KFHD for the N7. I felt nothing but trapped when using the KFHD. I'm very happy with the N7.

The 16 GB N7 is now $199 on par with the KFHD and you can get a 32 GB for $249.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no99sqrd:
ADW

ADW EX is a paid app available on Google Play, but other free launchers work as well (there is a thread here somewhere). You just have to put the apk in system/app folder (again you have to be rooted to do this) using a file manager with root access (I use Root Browser Lite - it's free). But don't install it, just move it there. Reboot and when you hit the home key, the dialog should pop up to ask you which launcher you want to use. Click the launcher you want (ADW in this case) and select if you want to use it always (I did) or just once (in which case you'll be asked every time you click the home button).

Then like I said, I put the original launcher (called Launcher oddly enough :p) in the dock so I could access the Amazon stuff. Alternatively, you could put it on the desktop, or just launch it from the app drawer.

As far as memory, I'm not sure what you mean...:confused:

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

I'm kind of the opposite as I don't use any of the voice commands, etc you mention, but do use the Amazon features - especially the Prime Video (can't beat it for $80/year along with the free shipping deal!).

I had the Nexus 7, but felt that it didn't really offer anything more than my Galaxy Note except for a bigger screen of course! I'm rooted with an AoKP ROM, so it's stock with extra goodies. As I mentioned Prime Video made the decision easy for me (and I travel so it's nice to have that option when the hotel's entertainment choices suk!)

That's the beauty of Android though - we have a choice!:victory:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
I hear ya on that. The nexus 7 is my first JB device, as my Evo 3D is still stock and stuck on ICS so this is an improved experience.

Sounds like devs are getting somewhere with hijacking the KFHD. There is hope out there, but everything is still in early development. Something good to see though.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manhatton:
This morning I flashed twisted's ICS after full wipe coming from Liquid (JMOD) and having .3 radios with no problems.

My LTE worked fine on Liquid, but when I booted into twisted's I could only get 1x. I then flashed .19, and subsequently .9 radios to no avail.

I lastly restored back to Liquid (Still with .9 radios) and can only get 1x. I called vzw to see if they had any 4g outages due to the storm they said no.

Any one else have this issue? Know of a fix?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manhatton:
Also....It does not appear that it IS 3G/4G and only showing 1x as has been discussed in the ROM threads. Speedteset was at .12Mbps.....

I wiped cache and Dalvik again for good measure....Still at 1x
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manhatton:
Dropped back to .19, wiped cache and Dalvik, fixed permissions...rebooted..still 1x. Checked all mobile network settings......airplane mode toggle...

STILL only 1x...

Just popped sim and reseated it. Guess what....4G works. Dumb.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrollette:
I replaced my back cover for 3$ which contains the antenna and that helped me. You might want to clean your contacts. Perhaps you fixed the connection by removing the back cover. Or maybe it was the sim. Just know what worked for me!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Pulling sim sometimes helps because it resets your connection to the network. I do this sometimes between ROM flashes.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigligg:
You might be having the same problem I did. I had 1x for weeks. Verizon tech support couldn't even fix it. I even went back to stock to see and still 1x. I ended up having them send me a replacement. They said my antenna was shot. Went completely out. I could text and send and recieve calls but my data wouldn't work

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 613BulletProof:
My boss gave me his galaxy s2 skyrocket to flash

i was originally running JB 4.1 on a custom rom, but i tried like 2 roms and they were to buggy for him and not stable

so since i couldnt find a really stable JB 4.1

hes asked to see if i can find the 4.0 Firmware of this phone but for the INTERNATIONAL version

I wasn't even aware the Skyrocket had a international version

What do you guys think

?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE comes in:

ATT: SGH-i727

T-Mobile: SGH-T898

Rogers: SGH-i727R

International: GT-I9210/T

ATT & Rogers are easily interchangable, the Hercules (SGH-T898) may need a little tweaking to get it working right but not too sure on the international version, I've heard people flashing the international version with CM9 for the SR but haven't heard of anyone flashing the International version of ICS to the SR.

The hardware is identical with only difference being the CPU Model# which is the same CPU they used on the T-Mobile version (APQ8060) vs (MSM8260).

Really its best to flash only the ROMs that are made for your phone but if the hardware is similar you can probably do it but I don't see why you want to.

If he wants he can use AT&T stock, CM9 or a custom ROM.

Does he want something from the international version of ICS?

Remember using a different ROM for a different phone you will need to have a different Modem and may have a chance to brick so only do at your own risk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
maybe you are doing something wrong, the later cm10 roms are very stable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 613BulletProof:
He wants international so he can get be able to Text in Chinese etc etc

When I upgraded him to 4.1 the Chinese stuff was all good to goo

Had issues getting it to work on 4.0, the text would come out in Chinese, but the receiver would get a bunch of symbols, like i said upgrading to 4.1 fixed this, i think 4.1 and more languages or something

Thats why he wants international, he travels a lot as well so its convenient.

I've flashed several phones with several roms, I have my own Galaxy S3 running perfect on a AOKP rom

When i flashed my bosses phone I did the usual, wipe data/ dalvik / factory reset / flash rom

First ROM i used was Superlite, phone would go black and would require force shut off, this would happen randomly during idle or something or overnight

So i switched to SKYJB 5.0

no more screen hanging up black but got screen flickering issues, so i went into dev options and checked the H/W option..

as of now he took the phone back since he said that was the real issue.

Which rom would you recommend that runs very stable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
things have changed, like i said all new cm10 are stable, well mine is which is superlite v7.0, but that one has no chinese support, but superheavy does, cm10 is 4.1

as for international, he just has to worry about the radio and apns
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 613BulletProof:
So which CM10 would you suggest? specifically
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
not a good question to ask on this forum, "which is best", read the individual rom threads and see which ones would suit your/his needs, but since i only use my rom, then superheavy should fulfill his needs, its posted on my sig for superlite
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 613BulletProof:
