[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kesmar88:
I would say that's your biggest conundrum right there. Can't wait till my contract's up in Feb and I can go to Koodo or Virgin. Or perhaps not wait that long even and jump ship when I see a better deal :p

On-topic, as a noob to Android customization and a customer of Rogers, I would say go for the G2. It seems you wish to stay on-contract and you'd be getting the better deal hardware-wise.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SillyBearito:
I appreciate your input. It's not that I want I stay under contract, it's just more logical that way right now. And yes I fully agree on the hardware aspect. The only thing nexus has that's better is the software support. I'm eager to learn about rooting and using custom mods, buts it's hard to justify the nexus purchase just for that.

I did read somewhere that G2 will get KitKat eventually, maybe it'll get better?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kesmar88:
LG is planning to release KitKat eventually, but there's no set date. Also, from prior experience, if you're going to rely on official OTA updates, Rogers is the worst on releasing them in a timely manner. My prior phone was an S2 LTE (Skyrocket) and it was the last one out of the S2 family to upgrade to ICS, not to mention it was not optimized at all and actually ran worse than Gingerbread. Thankfully, it was all good when the JB update showed up but that took a while as well. Since I'm not getting KitKat on it, I bought the N5 off the play store since carriers are only carrying 16 GB.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SillyBearito:
I can see the issue there. I'm hoping to not rely on Rogers and their OTA and just root it and update it myself. That reminds me, I should prob expect even more bloat with Rogers.

Or I could just go with the nexus and never have to worry about that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemiGamer:
As noted before if you want the quickest updates (official and unofficial) than the n5 is a must, if you want to take a lot of pictures than the camera on the G2 and storage space is better at that. :P
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammester:
Have you thought about getting a Iphone 5s on contract, selling it, then buying the nexus 5? I would do that instead of getting the nexus 5 directly from the carrier. That way you end up with extra money in your pockets since you can sell the Iphone for more then the nexus 5 costs from the play store.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoliosis:
This is a great idea. Take a look at the resale value of the phones available without a contract. Pick the one that gives you the best profit and do that. Use the money to buy a Nexus 5 if you like the phone. I did that recently and actually have another $100 extra to spend on accessories.

So for those of you that didn't know, Samsung is giving $50 Free for buying Note 3.

----------------------------

BUT that is not the main purpose of this thread. This thread is for seeing what other people will do with a Free $50 Google Play Store Credit.

I've been debating the following:

1. Buying a couple games that previously were too much for me

A. The Walking Dead Game

B. Drastic (Nintendo DS Emulator)

2. I considered a movie or music but I already have all access and movies seem like a waste

3. I don't know if it's possible but can this credit go toward Nexus devices

So the question is, what will you do with those $50 extra dollars? Anything good out there that is worth using some or all of this credit for. I'm interested to learn about apps, games, etc that I may not otherwise have heard of before having free money.

Usually too much, but since it's free List (ongoing)

.The Walking dead Game

.GTA Vice City

.Modern Combat 4

.Drastic

.PPSSPP Gold

.Shady sms and shady picture safe.

.Power Amp

.Modern combat 4

.Xda premium

.Ninja sms pro

.Tasker

.Nova Launcher pro

.Fast burst camera

.titanium back-up(root users)

.Gran theft auto 3

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nickles96:
Are you rooted?

If so, consider purchasing the full or pro version of things.

Like titanium backup, root explorer, region away etc...

That's what I've done.

I am considering a couple of games. The Gameloft titles are pretty awesome in this device. But I haven't pulled the trigger on any.

The credit is only good for apps books movies etc... NOT valid for any hardware or devices in the store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] h3ck:
I got mine within five minutes but had to search inbox because it was under updates or promotions forget which one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] h3ck:

I recently switched to CREDO mobile (which uses Sprint towers) after using AT&T for a while. I called them about activating a Nexus 5 on their network and they said that they can't do it. I've never had to deal with a CDMA network before, so does this mean I can't use Nexus 5 on their network? Or is there any other recourse?

I feel like it should be possible. A couple other Sprint MVNOs now can activate Nexus 5s on their networks (example: Ting and another one that I cannot think of atm). Perhaps mention this to a supervisor at Credo. Good luck.

You need to root unlock boot loader and gain s-Off. Flash a De-odexed Rom like SkyDragon.

Then you have to replace the HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk with a nodded version.

AFAIK the kernel panic mode happens when incompatible kernel modules are there inside the kernel. Changing to a custom kernel might fix the issues. The Software Update saying device modified is because flash counter is raised in Download mode(for more info search triangle away thread)

Its Going to be LEGEND--wait for it--DARY!-Barney Stinson(How I Met Your Mother)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SevenFactors:
d

Of course you are right. I've wondered what the constant "triangle" references that I've run to were all about. I had come to assumed it was some kind of terminology. I turns out that there really is a triangle :p

With that said. Frak!, this phone has indeed been flashed before. Putting the phone on download mode volume-key down+Home button+Power does show a yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside. As far as a count of how many times it has been flashed, that is not shown.

Now this has me not fully trusting the current ROM

. Is there a possibility that the Triangle is a result of the upgrade from Gingerbread to Jelly Beam? The Samsung Galaxy Beam GT-I8530 was originally shipped with Gingerbread 2.3.6 and later Samsung released and update which brought it to Jelly Beam 4.1.2

With the above question in mind, if I were to re-flash the original Samsung release of Jelly beam 4.1.2 for GT-I8530 would I still have the triangle issue?

I was not able to find any official downloads at the Samsung website. The best I've found is on this website

http://www.mobiada.com/06881/update...-4-1-2-xxamf1-firmware/?ModPagespeed=noscript

What I don't like about the article is that the download link clearly says Jellybeam 4.1.1. Firmware Update Package. Whatever happened to 4.1.2?

OK, now all I need is to be sure of what to do next

- Can I just reflash the official Samsung release of Jellybeam 4.1.2 for GT-I8530 [if I can find it somewhere] back to to the phone? Would automatically remove the Triangle or would I still have to make use of Triangle Away?

I prefer the above for it just might fix the Kernel issue I'm experiencing.

Btw, just to be sure I need confirmation that I found the right Triangle Away thread [Triangle Away being an app].

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironman38102:
Newer samsung phones dont show the flash counter but they do show that the phone is Custom(CURRENT BIN: CUSTOM ,SYSTEM MODIFIED etc) in download mode and even if u flash the original firmware ur phone will still have the flash count. Although Im not sure if ur device is supported by Triangle Away and if isnt install the Triangle Away app and launch it(it will obviously say not support) and choose the option create triangle away dump file and request for support in the triangle away thread.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SevenFactors:
Official

Thanks for following up.

Under ODIN mode, my phone did indeed say "CUSTOM"

Because of this I decided to go ahead and cross the unknown waters of the Flash Rom ocean. I found several other post about Jelly Beam for GT-I8530. All of them point to the same download link [isn't that something. I wonder who copy who]

Anyways, Flashing the ROM went very smoothly and my phone is now more responsive than before. :D

The Built number no longer includes "test-keys"

The Software Update message now has changed to "The latest Updates Have already been insalled"

Under ODIN mode now it does clearly says that the device has been flashed once "Yes (1 counts)" Furthermore, it says Current Binary: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

Triangle Away

I'm not yet able to post on the development forums. I will have to stay active for a while before being able to ask a questions on the thread. Furthermore, I need to buy a USB jig [already on its way from amazon]

Now what i need to find is a way to gain root [SU] this phone. The one I previously found is meant for android Gingerbread, not Jelly Beam =(
