[Nexus 4 Accessories] co.ag.2005:
I think I'm going bumper and full body screen protectors to see how that works. I usually have my phones naked, but this seems like it would scratch too easy without the fully body screen protectors.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] neer2005:
I ordered full body protection. Thinking I might wait for speck or incipio to launch a case or else get a bumper
[Nexus 4 Accessories] trident167:
Good point. Also hope they make cases with cut out for the nexus logo.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kanetheninja:
I ordered something like this http://www.amazon.com/KaysCase-Shel...8&qid=1353635692&sr=8-8&keywords=nexus+4+case

We'll see how clear it is. I think i got a i-blason version though....
[Nexus 4 Accessories] KevinChaos:
I'm going the same route. I already have the bumper and I love it. The back is too slippery though so I'm going full body protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mailinhhh:
The guys at tech21 said they're going to release a case or the n4

They're impact bands are bumpers with an optional clear plastic backplate
[Nexus 4 Accessories] d_phekt:
That is exactly what I would want too. Until then I'm rockin' the bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yahoowizard:
I have the EXACT same issue and I think bumper should take care of the problem perfectly.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aranea100:
I want the bumper too but it's not available for order on play store.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Joey-UK:
I do as well but im not sure if its going to give me enough protection because your only sure to be safe if you drop it on a totally flat surface.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jok4h:
Here in Australia we can order the bumper but $19.99 + $10 shipping.

So essentially a 50% tax. And you can only order 1 :( so no split shipping
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yahoowizard:
Bumpers are the only kind of cases theoretically that show off the back, right? Other than cases that have a transparent back?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Joey-UK:
That's kind of what I want, a case with a truly transparent back, but it might not have the same glinting effect, I'm not sure.

Bumper with optional transparent back would be cool
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:

this kind of case do the same job.

But I doubt this company will make one for N4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] talhak91:
Tech21

Check out the cases from tech21! Their impact band seems like exactly what we need. Someone here said they would be making Nexus 4 cases, if I recall correctly. Source? Maybe we need to "pressure" them. But that's the case I'm waiting for.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] talhak91:
If you don't mind my asking, where did you hear that? I'd love an Impact Band for the Nexus 4 from them. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quahog_convo:
Lol, already sent messages to their twitter to ask. I'm sure more people asking will make them realize people are interested.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quahog_convo:
Interesting. I was looking at Spigen's blog and they had a post about the LTE on the N4... http://www.spigen.com/blog/the-lte-conspiracy/

And someone asked about certain cases for the Nexus 4 and a SPIGEN rep responded :o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Warrior1975:
Have the GS3. I love it. Best phone I've ever had. I'm getting the itch though. I was seriously considering N4. Reviews dont seem to be as positive as I hoped, particularly from those coming from GS3. Which made me look at the Note 2. I love that phone. But is it too big? I don't think it is but I also have the N7, so do I even need the bigger screen? I rarely use my GS3 for anything other than phone calls and texts. Am I wasting my money? I'm thinking I am...but not sure. Anyone else considering either of these phones?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
IMO it's either the s3 or note2. The nexus only has 16 gb of storage with no chance of increasing, has a fragile back that will crack if dropped, and is made by lg which hasn't made many great phones. The camera is only average and also has a halo haze and its not that much faster in real world tests. As for the note, only you can decide if its too big, other than that its actually a little better than the s3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Warrior1975:
I've pretty much ruled out the N4 at this point. I'm going to check out the Note 2 tomorrow. If I get the note would that replace my N7? Enough to give me an excuse for getting N10??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Actionx1:
I don't wanna start a flame war and I'm not trying to diss you but I'm just curious as to were you've been getting your info from. From all the people that have gotten the phone I haven't heard them say anything of what you just posted.

From all the reviews I have read, they say it's very smooth, the camera is very good, but not as good as the S3. The back is fragile but not as fragile as people seem to believe. The hardware is very good even though its by LG (it's pretty much an Optimus G) which is a very good phone by the way.

Oh yeah and the screen on that is much better than the S3. I believe the NOTE 2 has the same screen type as the S3 (correct me if I'm wrong)

The only thing that I really see as a downside is the damn storage. I just can't believe Google thinks that 16gb is enough now days. Even though there is the cloud, carriers restrict you on data.

Overall if you just use your phone for text and call I would go with the N4, since storage isn't a priority for you. I'm sure everyone prefers the pure Google experience with timely updates. Plus it's cheap without a contract.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Warrior1975:
You bring up some valid points...especially that I'm only using my phone for calls and texts...N4 would be perfect for that. Pure Google...would love that. I guess I was hoping I'd use my phone for a little more. Hence Note 2. As far as the screen, I hear the AMOLED is too saturated with "fake" color. I love that screen to be honest. Fake colors or not, i think they are beautiful. I've yet to see N4 in person...or Note 2. Tomorrow I'm going to the T-Mobile store..hopefully they have both. Note 2 and GS3 both have AMOLED screens.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sleevasteve:
I'm actually getting ready to switch to a Note 2 on Verizon as soon as it comes out. I love my S3, but I really want that huge screen, and extra battery life.

I've been with T Mobile for over 10 years, and their customer service is great, but I really want more reliable and consistent coverage. I'm actually rolling the dice on not being able to flash custom ROMs(or just having limited development) in exchange for a better network and LTE.

There's no way I would go with an N4, and that's only because of the 16 gigs of storage. I have a 16 gig S3 and had a 16 gig external SD card, and I still ended up having to upgrade to a 64 gig card. But if your not big into music, movies or games, then you probably don't have to worry about that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Warrior1975:
Why would custom ROMS be limited? Is it Verizon or the Note 2 in general?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
I heard VZW has locked bootloader and possibly hasn't been unlocked yet, could be wrong though
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khoikn:
N4 is a great device in my opinion. I love the vanilla Android and assurance of updates.

However, a lack of a removable battery and expandable storage is a big grippe to me. I like having the option to increase my storage capacities.

If you're worried about the size of the Note II, simply pick one up at the T-Mobile store or anywhere they would carry one. It's definitely a large device, it felt kind of awkward to me, but then again so did the GS3 when I first got it.

The N4 has the best price to performance ratio of any phone out there today, I believe.

That's a huge sweet spot to me.

I think that you'd be happy either way. All of these phones are great and should last you a while.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sleevasteve:
Locked bootloader and even if it gets unlocked, my understanding is that there is less development on Verizon LTE phones. Might just have to do some research on porting my own ROM's, but I really think I could get used to running TW and just using a different launcher. Once we get root, we can at least do a few mods and use root apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TJEclipse:
I like the note 2, its a very nice phone very fast, my coworker bought it and he loves it, I wish the s3 had the quad core processor like the euro did, that would make it even better. I kinda feel as if I got a gs2 with a bigger screen. If all you are going to do is calls and text then the note 2 is overdoing it. I would stick with the s3. I love the phone and can't wait to see what's next from samsung.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vi6s:
I presume you have the money to upgrade. But let be honest, the N4 and Note 2 is not that different in term of overall quality compare to S3. I think you should wait till summer or so since by then something beastly and different will come out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Alien1099:
Correct me if I'm wrong but very few apps take advantage of dual core processing at the moment (let alone quad core) and the 2 cores on the US version are pretty fast (faster IIRC 1 for 1).

Hell tons of applications still come out for Windows that aren't multithreaded and multicore/multiprocessor systems have been around for many years now.

N7105 does not have nv_data.bin

Please forgive me if I am mistaken…

I noticed that the N7105 does not have nv_data.bin (I think Samsung LTE devices don’t have this).I’m not certain that a traditional efs backup will be enough to ensure the safety of your IMEI when flashing.

To be on the safe side in addition to the traditional efs backup I also followed the steps in the following post to create an IMEI backup using QPST:

No not at the moment. I've read you will loose radio.

Thanks for your remind, this is very important information for all Note 2 LTE user!!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisaw:
This is incredibly useful information and thanks a lot for that - backed my data up just to be on the safe side!

This should, however, be on the EFS partition so if you are using TWRP you can actually create a full system backup including the EFS partition. I have been trying to get the N7100 CM build running on my N7105 by patching in various radio files and with the help of a certain developer within the N7100 community. So far the progress is slow but during this time I have been restoring back and forth between samsung stock and CM10. The facts of the process are this:

- The N7100 restores have to be patched to remove the check for N7100 (or you can use the N7100 recovery but that's not recommended.)

- The N7100 restores do *not* have support for our Qualcomm radio

- The N7100 restores *DO* work with Wi-Fi within our N7105 since this chip is the same

Essentially if you flash CM10 you end up with a tablet at this time but as I say, I am working on this when I get the time to fiddle and am hoping to get the N7105 CM build working properly.

I know this is a bit of a subjective questions but what does the majority feel as the fastest/best browser?

I've tried stock, Chrome and Dolphin. I'd have to say I prefer Dolphin but believe only stock/Chrome integrate bookmarks with my desktop/laptop Chrome browser.

So, thoughts on what is your favorite browser?

You can use Bookmarks to SD it is in Google Play as a dolphin plugin and it will allow you to export and import bookmarks to and from a bookmarks.html file so you can export your bookmarks from your laptop / desktop chrome, firefox, etc. to a bookmarks.html file and then import them into Dolphin or the default browser.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aminaked:
Be careful with Dolphin and Boat. Check out this thread for how browsers track you. It's an invasion of privacy and it wastes bandwidth, battery power, and CPU cycles. I know Dolphin and Boat are specifically mentioned in that thread and I'd stay away from them. Opera Mini does have the option to send all of your data through Opera's servers so be aware of that.

I made Naked Browser in response to all of the privacy shenanigans of most of the browsers out there. It's free in the Google Play Store, is tiny and quick yet with lots of features, and does not and will never spy or monitor in any way. No ads either!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gorcutt:
Boat browser. Light, very fast, support flash and has very good features.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] asdfuogh:
Firefox because Chrome is ****ty on my Ubuntu drive (still not sure why and I don't have time to fix it yet), and I like having the syncs.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
Dolphin defeats all because of easy access to bookmarks with it's slideout sidebar. Until someone else copies that no other browser competes.

The one that comes closest is Maxthon but Dolphin is still just a bit slicker.

The disadvantage to Dolphin and Maxthon is that no one seems to be able to get them to work in multiview. Ah for one browser that just does it all!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aminaked:
Naked Browser has the slideout sidebar for bookmarks and works in multiview.

Dolphin, Maxthon, Boat, and many others violate your privacy (wasting your battery power, bandwidth, and CPU cycles in the process) while Naked has no user spying or monitoring.

This is a flashable port of the Samsung Galaxy S2 Keyboard for the S3 i9300 - [Jelly Bean]

It was tested on Omega Rom v33.1

Should work for other Omega JB roms and CM10 etc..

GUIDE

1) Flash the .ZIP using CWM

2) When the phone restarts you will get a FC from the stock S3 Samsung Keyboard.

3) Go in to the keyboard settings and select 'SAMSUNG KEYPAD' as your primary keyboard, the FC from the stock keyboard will now stop.

4) Finished, you now have a working S2 keyboard on your S3

Good....

+ No FC when keys are pressed, unlike other ports

+ Key Clicks Work

+ Multiple Languages Work

+ User Dictionary works 100%

Unsure....

- Untested on other Jelly Bean roms (it should work on CM10)

Bad....

- Could give you a FC when opening contacts

- If you decide you want to go back to the stock S3 keyboard, you will keep getting a FC when you re-select it. i will try and find a flashable removal tool for those who want to remove the S2 keyboard.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Barracuda1101:
I dont mean to double post but I've been looking around the internetz.and actually using the search on here and have not found an answer.

Most the people on here have a T-Mobile G2x (p-999). And I have a Wind mobile optimus 2x (p-999DW)

Are the RIL's and basebands the same for both these devices? If I falsh an improper ril or baseband will my phone still be compatible with winds network, or will I have to flash a new ril and baseband?

Could you recommended the best ril and basebands for winds network for gingerbread and ics/jb

Sorry for my noobness its just I'm.rather new to flashing roms and I'm looking at paranoid android hackfest jelly bean build 8. And this is the first time I've seen a baseband to flash with the rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
The RIL and Baseband must match. I've used all the T-Mobile G2X updates on my "WIND" Optimus 2X/G2X and they operate on WIND without any problems other than the problems they have anyway regardless of network. I don't use ICS or JB, just GB. Stock V21E and V21Y or their direct derivatives work well
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Barracuda1101:
Thanks for actually replying. This thread has had a lot of views and 1 reply. Everyone starts somewhere. Also have you used getril ? And if so what's been your experience with it ?

And BTW I'm on the fixed June 5th bb for use with PA build 8
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
GetRil works fine to determine if the BB and Ril match. Don't use anything for the P990 as that will seriously brick the P999.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Barracuda1101:
Oh it doesn't dectect if you have p-990 or a p-999/p-999DW ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Yes, it does. When updating/upgrading, don't use anything for the P990.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Barracuda1101:
OK noted will prob just use the ril it reccomends and obvi stick the p-999 ones thanks or the help

Hi!

I just had the weirdest experience with my sgsii

I have been using the unofficial vsync patched cm10 rom for this modelfor the last month or so.

I have been updating at least one per week but this week I decided to give my phone a break and not flash it... i am actually really busy at job.

Suddenly tonight, the phone looked like when you have a SOD... so i just pulled the battery.

Now, it does not pass from the first logo stage, just prior to start booting.

I cannot access cwm recovery either, but download mode seems to work-

Now the odd thng is that i am attempting to flash somethng to get the phone working but it gets stuck in the step "NAND Write start!".... it goes no furter than that...

I have chosen the options auto reboot and f.reset time.

a pda file, phone and csc file from the eaked jb rom.....

The system I am attempting to flash from is a windows 7 pro 64 bit.... and odin is Odin3 v1.85...

Please, tell me i didnt get a brick and there is a way tofix it... :crying:

EDIT: Desperated, i tried to flash latest jb leak again, and chose the pit file that comes with it, which re-partitions the phone...

After 20 minutes not responding, i pulld the battery out... now i cannot even enter download mode....nothing....nada....

and for other people instead of flashing samsung's bricksquadroms you can flash CM9 resurrection edition. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419102

Make a pit file with heimdall of your own device. Don't trust pitfile that comes with a rom.

I re-partitioned my device and i got like 3GB intern memory back.

There's probably a way to get your device alive. it isn't the mmc cap bug so. search some threads on xda about brickbugs etc of galaxy phones and you'll find people who hardbricked and unbricked their device.

Probably usb jig could get you into download mode i'm not sure though. Or else jtag. Ask some people over there they will know it
