well, if I can have the option to have 64 GB of extra space...............I'll take it.

I have about 25 MB of music lol. Stuff piles up in the long run with roms/backups, movies, games etc. I had a 16 GB sdcard for the longest time and I always ended up deleting stuff to make up space.

I think it's a nice phone but I value my extended battery life very much which I'm sure will outlast that phone's average life by a long shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
First off I didn't jab anything at you. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only person that assumed that you were using your phone to take pictures for your business. Like you said, you didn't clarify.

Anywho if that's the case than don't envy the Nexus so much. Get yourself a Note 2 man. If I'm not mistaken you can stick a 64gb card I'm that guy.

More than enough space and you get to keep the LTE goodness.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitaL BlisS:
Lol... These aren't excuses. Any pic I take can gets uploaded to Google+ in around 20 seconds max (we aren't all in photography businesses and need to transfer over 16GB of photos on a daily basis, your real world example fits a small minority, and I bet 99% of the people complaining in this thread about lack of an SD slot, don't even use their phone's storage for business matters).

I'm currently using about 2GB of space, and most of that are CM10 nightlies. For games, I use my Xbox 360. For watching TV shows/movies, I use my TV + HTPC setup at home. For music, I either use my iPod, or my Google Music account that conveniently stores over 7000 of my songs (even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to fit my library on a 64GB sdcard. Not to mention, phones don't make the best DACs. Music on this phone for example sounds like **** - no offense).

So in my case, it's not an excuse. I simply don't see the lack of an SD slot as an issue, at all.

So really... What's the point in coming inside a thread for a $350 phone and complaining? I honestly think most (American) consumers will NEVER be pleased.

Wah the phone is too expensive. Wah the phone doesn't have 500GB of space for all my useless ****. Wah I can't run my entire business from my smartphone (these were once upon a time devices used to CALL people, anything else is a bonus IMHO).

If you're not pleased with the phone... Move on or find a phone that better suits you. We as Android users have so much to choose from now, finding a phone that suits you shouldn't be a problem.

I for one think this is a kick ass little device and look forward to my Vanilla Android experience again (without killing my wallet). For the price, you can buy two of them if the battery is that bad (which I highly doubt it will be).

Lol my bad :P But I still checked yesterday with my friends, and apparently they had a ton load of apps, which makes everything laggy in fact. TBH I don't care about the S3, too overpriced, though the features are worth it, I'd have the Nexus, because the price makes it worth it. And please don't hate me :P only 14 here

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I couldn't have said it better myself Digital. I personally don't listen to music much and the music I do have (approx 1000 songs) is already uploaded to Google Play Music. Pictures and vids, like you said are automatically backed up to Google +. I rarely play games as well. Yes and SD Card Slot is a nice option to have, but if you are taking advantage of all the free cloud storage that Google provides, there is really no need for the majority of users out there. Now some people may need more than 16GB, but I am talking about the vast majority, 16GB is plenty.

Digital, are you ordering the phone from the Play Store opening day? I am very pumped for the release, I still love the GS2 though and will keep it as a backup. Actually what I am going to do is instead of buying a tablet, I will keep the GS2 for a gaming device for my daughter. She can have all her games on there and all her music and I will use the Nexus as my Daily Driver for ROMs, testing, tweaking etc. We both win and I don't have to break the bank to buy the Nexus 4 which is my biggest attraction to the device (next to it being 100% pure Google experience). Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Is anyone still considering the Note 2? I kinda want that big ass screen lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Note 2 is an amazing device, I personally can't afford it though. I still have 2 years left on my contract with Telus and would have to buy the device outright and it would be locked to Telus. Outright cost is $730.00.

Or I could buy the Nexus 4, which provides the pure Google experience, unlocked, no contract, first to get updates and cost $359.00 (here in Canada) from the Play Store.

I really love the Note 2, but it's not worth and extra $371 to me. I might as well buy 2 Nexus 4's or a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7 for that price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Very true, sir.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitaL BlisS:
Yup! Most likely. I was surprised to see a Canadian version of the store. Looks like we'll be able to order it on launch day as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Ya I was surprised as well. First time a Nexus phone has been offered through Google Play for Canadian customers. Another reason why I am extra excited.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xdaGoon:
I would do it in a heart beat. I never liked the shell of the t989, too round. The nexus 4 is so much more aesthetically pleasing.

Not too mention you get the builds from google and not layered with all the crap from Samsung.

You guys are lucky, being able to sell this crappy phone. I have 2 listings in different county in Cali on Craigslist and no one. I have to try eBay but can't right now, somehow its not letting me add one of my debit card on PayPal. I saw 2 NEW ones sell for 300 on eBay. Do I expect 250 only for my used one but perfect condition, no scratches anywhere, not even on the screen. always kept in D30 case since bought last November?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitaL BlisS:
I'm trying to sell it for $225 now. Will probably just get rid of it for $200 if it goes a few more days. $150+ taxes (and shipping) sounds like a good upgrade price to me. I want to put it on eBay but I'm not a fan of shipping things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] badaphooko01:
Anybody gonna buy on contract? I'm stuck on what to do. I wanted to sell this in cl for 250 but don't know if I would get that much for it. I could also give it to my wife and just pay the upgrade and be stuck for another two years. I'm sitting on two upgrades right now , I passed up on the s3, bestbuy had a one day sale for 100. Don't know which way to go. Please advise...

Also do you guys know how much shipping from the play store is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitaL BlisS:
I wouldn't go on contract for a $300-350 phone. That used to be a (3 year) contract price alone for some phones in the past. At least in Canada.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
I'm going on contract, with 2 upgrades. My girl wants the note2 and me nexus. Because at the end of it all, I'm sticking to T-Mobile anyways. I'm not changing carriers, so why not? :) I get great reception and speeds everywhere I go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] subzerold:
Only a retard on T-Mobile would buy this on contract.

$20/month x 24 months = $480

+ $200 phone = $680

Just go prepaid
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
I'm on the classic plan so I'll be paying about the same as googles price. It ain't gonna be monthly payments..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] subzerold:
You're still paying more monthly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
how am i gonna pay monthly if its only gonna be a fee of $299 for an upgrade on a classic plan? Value plan has the monthly payments of 20 and 199 down payment..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mth785:
I'll be ordering a Nexus 4 as soon as possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] subzerold:
Prepaid is cheaper then post paid value or classic. Much cheaper.

I want to thank all the devs and peeps on these forums for an awesome experience with this phone.

Nexus 4 here I come! :D

I was lucky enough to secure a 16GB model of the Nexus 4. Was anyone else lucky enough to purchase one as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Slimgym20:
Got mine secured as well. It's been a good run w/the GS2 though - It's come along way since I got it.

Got my order thru. Ordered 2 - 16gb Nexus 4's. Actually ordered twice by accident and had to cancel one of the orders.. 4 is too many :P

Can't wait to get it and be out of here.. AOSP goodness and 4.2 /drools
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
The N4 is a great phone and should be good for at least a year or 2.

But I just wanted to say that ASOP 4.2 source is out now. This could mean new roms soon for those (like me) who's sticking with this phone for a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:

Yup. I am going back to the SGS2. The display on the Nexus 4 is washed out and awful blacks. Same junk on all the AMOLED (non-plus) screens. The viewing angles are terrible on the Nexus 4. I love the hardware of the Nexus 4, the awesome camera, fast GPS. Hate the glass back and awful display.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vmartinez39:
Using the Nexus 4 for about a week. Its a beast of a phone. I will say the screen is washed up, colors and intensity are not that great. The resolution is huge, makes the GS2 look like the display is using a magnifying glass resolution (very low resolution compared to N4).

I'm still uneasy using it because my case hasn't arrived. Also heard stories that the phone back glass will shatter like a iPhone...

Also battery isn't spectacular. It drains rather quickly. When I didn't put so many apps or email accounts, battery was better. It just drains when you have lots of email accounts, apps, and other stuff running in the background. The GS2 is better at battery life with all the apps I had loaded.

Nexus X would be awesome. Here's what I want if they could make it: The power of the N4, Super Amol screen GS3/GNote 2, the battery of the RAZR MAXX.

Should have waited for Motorola's version of Nexus.

What about trying to sell your phone on http://swappa.com/ The last few of our phones that sold on there went for $185-$215. I've sold phones on there before and it went really smooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
The N4 is awesome. I wouldn't dare consider any other phone at the moment. AOSP wins far over TouchWiz. Anyone that says the display is washed out needs to have their eyes checked. The HD-IPS+ LCD screen of 768 x 1280 on the N4 is far superior to the SGS2 AMOLED 480 x 800 not to mention the ppi.

The IPS is just different than the AMOLED. Amo is bolder color but bolder isn't always better.

Also the Dev section is insane for the N4.. I'm loving it more every day..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phobixm1:
+1 I bought a nexus 4 the day it came out and sold it after 2 weeks and went back to my trusty t989

The main reasons were the screen, touch screen sensitivity, and the expandability. One thing I miss on the nexus 4 is the superior battery life
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] apicia:
Plus, when I use the SGS2, I do not use crapwiz (touchwiz). I am running CM10 with my DPI set to 210 and absolutely love it. I really tried to like the N4.

This discussion makes me nervous. I ordered the Dell 27" monitor that uses an IPS panel. People rave over its viewing angles, but if it looks like the N4 screen, I will me disappointed. I prefer Plasma TVs over LED/LCD TVs. I love the viewing angles (or lack of bad angles) and super rich colors. The SGS2 screen reminds me of this. A full rich colored screen that has premium viewing angles. Just set the DPI to 210.

Hey folks Ive tried everything with this phone but just can't get it to vibrate and I really can't recall it ever vibrating. I've seen in other forums that others are having the same problems but there didn't seem to be a solid fix. The phone will not vibrate during calls or notifications of any kind when I have it set to always vibrate or vibrate during silence mode. I've gone to all of my messaging applications as well to select the vibrate function and it still doesn't work. Need help if possible.

Thanks,

Doesn't work, I have the intesity all the way actually. Also when I move the sensitivity levels the phone doesn't give any feedback. I think the vibrate engine may be blown.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waldonh:
I've been messing around with freeing up space in my system partition (using the gingersense 3.0 Rom).

It appears that no matter how many system apps I delete, the available space (39072k) doesn't change when I check it via a terminal emulator using the df command.

What am I doing wrong?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
First there is no need to delete system apps as you have plenty of free space. Second you have nothing to gain by removing them. Third the ROM may have system apps in data but symlinked to system meaning you likely are just freeing space from data.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Are you s-off? If not, thats probably your issue. As tiny said there is no benefit to removing system apps unless you concider it bloatware, or plan on replacing them with other apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waldonh:
Yes,I am s-off. The apps are gone, the size of system just didn't change.

I think tiny was on to something when he talked about system apps being in data, but symlinked to system. When I checked the partition using an app called storage analyser it showed me link in system, with app directory being in data.

Thanks for the thoughts. It's fun to tinker with the Android OS
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I know for a fact a lot of sense ROMs on sense 2.1 and greater use that symlink. So I'm still wondering what there is to gain with 40 MB free in system and probably over 100 MB free in data.

Works on 4.1 AOSP/JB ROMS ONLY

SAMPLE

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.Download the Android 4.2 Launcher apk file and transfer it to a convenient location on your phone.

2.If you are using a Nexus Device or running an AOSP /AOKP based stock Android ROM, you need to be rooted. Download Titanium Backup and uninstall your default Android 4.1 launcher. If you are using an OEM customized ROM, like a Touchwiz based or HTC Sense Based ROM, you can skip Step 2 and move on directly to Step 3.

3.Now using a File explorer like ES File Explorer or Astro, navigate to the location where you had transferred the APK file for the Android 4.2 launcher, in Step 1.

4.Install the Launcher apk, and enjoy the default launcher from the upcoming Android 4.2
