Funny because I know somebody this just happened to last week. They are trying to get the phone to dry out and work correctly, reasoning it was their own toilet and not a public one. My response was, well...waste is waste, put it that way. Course I told them what I would do!

Their carrier is Cricket so the phone falling in the toilet was also symbolic, LOL.

Okay, this is about as off topic as you can get. T-Mobile announced a buy out plan at CES. You get credit for your phone and up to $350 for contract termination fees. I have a client with an HTC Rhyme on contract with Verizon paying $128 month for 750 minutes talk, .025 per text, and 1gb data. Talk about ****ty. She got this phone plan in July/ August. Her phone kept texting her every time she accessed her voicemail and was charged for it ( a known issue in 2011 for the rhyme, a simple OTA update to the phone would have taken care of that, which I did, unlike the ahole who sold her this). Anyway. as her electrician turned phone consultant, she wants me to suggest a phone. She is 60, would like to surf here and there, and stream some music from time to time. Which phone that T-Mobile offers would you think fits her needs best?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hatememarkz:

Lol I don't think they have the s2 in the stores anymore. I will say this has been a great phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
If you like the S2 size range...Moto X. ;)

It's a very smooth phone out of the box. Many don't even root it.

I would think a bigger phone would be cumbersome to her? That would leave the Moto x for a smaller screen option. Great phone.

Yes, I'm biased...But I researched and used a few flagship phones before I decided. Couldn't be happier. My average battery life is about 28 hours and 5 to 6 hours screen time. Would easily get to almost 2 days for a light user. :)

Aside from people not liking the camera, yes, it's average, you won't read too many complaints about it on xda.

A cheaper option and not far off the Moto x is the Moto g.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] acefsw:
Well, maybe I should unroot, set to stock, and sell her my s2 :)

I'm not sure if a 60 year old lady would want a Moto X. Tho a bigger screen might be good, as I've noticed she uses reading glasses a lot when using her phone. She needs something fairly easy to use. She isn't exactly tech savvy, (obviously, or she wouldn't be sporting an HTC Rhyme). But, I do think she is capable of learning to use mundane features like adding contacts, (which took her a minute to remember how to do), SMS, streaming, etc. but she has never customized say her home screen, etc.

edit

I like the idea of Moto G, because she really doesn't want to spend too much money. My only concern is that iirc the Moto G lacks lte

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Moto x is basically vanilla Android. And it has touchless control. And they work well. Doesn't get any easier for any age to use. ;)

Moto g doesn't have lte...But I've read good things about it in its xda section. I think my wife is going to upgrade her iPhone 4s for one,.cause she loves my x. But the G will suit her needs.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] acefsw:
Actually, I think I will recommend the Moto G. One of the reviewers at Ars Technica thought it was a great deal also. I'm always reading about the next best thing, looking at flagships and always forget about the mid range reviews/tests. Thanks a bunch.

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

Also, XDA is squirrelly. I try a one line edit and it is stalling, not saving, and doing weird things in general, like quoting myself at edit, and kicking me off every 10 minutes.

Anyhoo, I'm holding on to this s2 and waiting for the next Motorola flagship to come out. See how itvworks out with Google. I may cave and get the Moto X if I don't think the next iteration is going to be substantially better specced. I used to have Motorola's issued for work and the build quality was great. Sure, they were bricks, but they were quality bricks that could withstand a drop in a sump, run over by a loader, and still worked until the replacement came in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Just to be sure you know...the g doesn't have touchless control..or active notification....just the x. (Droid maxx too I believe...it's just the huge screen and battery version of the x......and price. Lol)

That's the other reason I went with Motorola...radio reputation. I used to have to go outside to make calls on my S2, even text sometimes......I live in the boonies.....But now I get usually at least 2 bars in the house. Don't have to freeze my butt off anymore. :)

Well, if you get an x, I am pretty sure you will be very happy. Almost guarantee it. Plus the price has come down a bit...if you buy it out right too. Remember...camera is average....and some seem to have battery issues, but that can be fixed....other than that....a fine piece of hardware.

Good luck to you and her!

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

Having read more reviews, the Moto g should fit her needs well, she is nowhere close to a power user and I don't want her to spend money unnecessarily on tech she will never use. She doesn't need a $600 phone, nor does she need a low end piece of crap. I just don't want to see her ripped off again. I'm an honest contractor, and I see this sort of crap all the time. First time I've had a customer ask me this, but hey why not help? Builds goodwill.

As for myself, I usually wait a year before investing in a flagship. Well, except for the g1 :) Who knows, maybe I stick with Samsung and get an S5. Hard to say, I had all HTC, now it is Samsung, (except for our boy who has the Nexus 5). Now, I am considering Motorola because they really do have superior radios, which for business is a plus. Thanks again.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
Yes and yes.

According to Samsung's website, it has 4g support.

Paranoid Android supports led notifications (the option is in settings.) Also, if you install Wild kernel on any KK ROM, there will be an option for led notifications.

Here is Samsung's website with the info. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00044154/44753/SGH-T989AABTMB

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Wait... By 4G, are we talking LTE ? I usually assume that's what people mean. Cause that's a no on the t989.

And the only "led" you can get is the capacitive buttons, yes... They can flicker for notifications. I believe everything that's usually pretty buggy tho. Can try it and see. ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChandanRoy:
Have you installed a custom recovery?

Hey friend,

Have you rooted your device and installed a custom recovery like ClockworkMod 5.x or Revolutionary 4.x????

If not and the problem is persisting with your stock ROM, you should contact HTC support team. Its a problem with your handset, get it replaced.

If you have ROOTed you device and installed a custom recovery, then the recovery build is not supported by your device. Find the correct update.zip file and as your phone is not responding, you can get it installed via ADB tool or any USb installer.

Hiho,

i installed my Nexus 7 in my car and have now a little "Problem".

I would use a Y-Cable for OTG use (Rear Camera) and Charging the Nexus.

My problem is, i would start my webcam automaticly by switching to the rear gear.

the plan is, to integrate a bridge to activate the car-dock mode when setting power to the mosfet.

the car-dock mode is managed by tasker and would start the rear cam automaticly.

but now the problem, how can i enable the car-dock or desktop dock mode?

what i need?

is there a way to manage it?

i see a other post, with the wireless charging mod, and the tab enterd dock-mode.

what will happend when i connect the Y cable with power and otg (webcam) and than i set power and gnd to the poggo pins?

ps. mod? could you move please to Q/A Thread.... sry my mistake.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] randy6675:
Complete noob here. Just received my Note2, and am concerned about the vulnerability issue. I know I can do the quick "1 click" method, but am thinking I might want to just unlock and flash Beans new ROM. I have searched, but haven't found a definitive answer as to whether this ROM patches the vulnerability. If it doesn't, what are my options for fixing it while still using this ROM?

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
The fix is kernel based, not ROM related, so it should manifest itself on any ROM using an afflicted kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] randy6675:
Okay, that is what I thought the answer might be. Which leads to two other questions:

1) After switching to "Beans" ROM, can i then proceed with the "1 click" fix?

2) Looks like Perseus is being used with this ROM, but are there any others that I should consider?

Thanks again!

I upgraded to this phone about a month ago, and my spouse got the GSIII. I love the phone and wouldn't trade it for anything. However, often my spouse asks me to do stuff for her on her phone, so I get to play with the GSIII pretty often. When I use her phone it seems so much smoother in its scrolling.

Is it just because it has a smaller screen? Has anyone else noticed that? Not a big deal for me, I still don't want a GSIII, but it is just something I noticed. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mecampo:
the sIII have 306 PPI vs noteII's 267 PPI

Is her gs3 stock. I have a gs3 and it's not as fast as my note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitchellvii:
How can you get smoother than perfectly smooth? I recommend another launcher like Nova.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aypanthony:
Launcher, screen transition effects, widgets, and use of live wallpapers will affect smoothness. Compare similar setups, then decide. My Note 2 is smoother than my wifes GS3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wlpywd:
same situation here. the gs3 is way "smoother" than my note 2. not faster... smoother. hard to explain...

it's almost like the frame rate is higher? but when I use the lady's gs3, it's quite noticeable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
I have Nova Launcher prime. One home screen. No live wallpaper....or live widgets. The GSIII is just smoother when scrolling in menus...no other way to dice it. Perhaps its a Qualcomm vs. Exynos issue?

Yes, I do have power saving mode on....I will try taking it off
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
You're the only person who actually brought up the processor difference! Even tho the GS3 is a dualcore you guys have to remember it has a newer chip Snapdragon S4 Krait then the one on our Quadcore Note 2. Which is the same Exynos 4412 chip on my previous Epic Touch but with two more extra cores. In other words it's old! Still no big difference tho to be so worked up about. Unless you're going to use both phones back to back you won't notice a difference..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wlpywd:
I know that... the gs3 can also do net/camera send while on a call and the note 2 cannot. the gs3 is a better phone hardware wise, screen not withstanding
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
That's due to the Qualcomm chip too. No 3g data over phone calls is the only thing I hate about my Note.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ac16313:
The note 2 can do all of that..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wlpywd:
not on Sprint. the chip can't handle it on cdma. I know it does on att. txt msg comes through though, regular mms. so I appreciate the pleasures where they come
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ac16313:
If you're on LTE it can send and receive mms, and browse the Web while you're on a call. It's not that the chip can't handle it. It's just that 3g and voice use the same hardware so you can't do both, but you can while on LTE.

And sprint just disabled the camera when on a call. The note is more than capable of doing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
You can do 3G data on calls on the GS3, HTC EVO LTE, VIPER, and other Qualcomm based phones. I had the Sprint GS3 and had no issues using data and calls at the same time. Everybody knows that! Where you been?

Our Note can't do it because it has the Exynos chip.

Seems as though the power saving was the root. Seems much smoother....even though I haven't compared them, but it does seem much smoother than before
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordLugard:
Unless you set power saving to throttle the CPU, power saving just dims the screen and uses low power levels and turns off haptic feedback.

So did you have power saving mode set to limit CPU power/performance before?
