[myTouch 4G General] raeef:
Did you read this?

http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/06/google-nexus-s-review/

I am using an unlocked MT4G, and since I am going back to my country, after thinking about it for some time, I think NS fits me more and here's why:

1- Factory unlocked and stock Android so I don't think I will have to root / modify it to get updates in the future ( I had to use my friend's Tmobile sim card to get the 2.2.1 update)

2- It supports UMTS 900 and 2100 ( Not so important if you are in the US), 4G speeds are not offered yet in my country too :)

3-Reading the above review makes me feel that it's not as bad as people expected, still I need more "real" review with videos.

4-I usually don't use my phone to listen to music (other than using Panadora) or watch videos (other than using youtube).I agree that no SD slot is a bad point specially in this era of smartphones but I can live with the 16 GB.

Still have to make sure that GPS is working and there are no problems here ( I assume that it will work fine because Google focused a lot on the navigation so it will be very bad for their image if one of their selling points for this phone fails).

To sum things up, if I will keep living in the US I will stick with MT4G, it's really a great phone and NS doesn't have the wow factor over it.
[myTouch 4G General] Jon C:
Don't count the NS out until you use it. It's actually a pretty slick little phone. If you're on the fence, it's probably worth waiting until you can play around with one before dismissing it.

I understand that the 'need' or love for expandable memory stems largely from hating on Apple (and coming from an iPhone, believe me, I understand some of these reasons), but having a huge amount of internal storage is nice. I'm glad Google decided to do that, instead of including the standard 1-2GB (yuck), and forcing you to rely on slow-ass MicroSD storage. Expansion is always better than fixed storage sizes, but do you honestly use more than 16GB on your phone? The only time I even came close was in loading four seasons-worth of TV shows onto my Galaxy S phone.

That all said: build-quality is pretty solid, and it's extremely fast and nice to use. It feels very high-end, once you handle it. It's not the massive next-gen 'OMGDUALCOREZ!' phone that we all wished for, but it's still a really nice, highly-optimized Android experience. The curved display is really cool; your fingers glide along nicely, and it does feel a little better than a flat screen.

I still prefer the myTouch 4G, simply because of the extra features (FM radio and so forth), but the NS is still a sexy phone. :D

I might still get one, funds permitting.

If you wished that Google had created some dual-core, 4.3", battery-draining megaphone-monstrosity: just stick around for CES. Some of the stuff in the pipeline is ridiculous, even if it's not directly created by Google.
[myTouch 4G General] vdub804:
these are the true specs not impressed at all for this being the successor to the almighty nexus one which changed the android game as we know it:confused::confused::confused:

http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/tech-specs
[myTouch 4G General] snazzymasta:
I agree with many of y'all in being slightly confused and disappointed by the specs. It's really beyond me why there isn't HSPA+ on this flagship, not even to mention the lack of SD. I get that the onboard is rather large, but still. Maybe the curved screen was their excuse?

It really sucks that Samsung can charge ahead with a great screen and stuff like NFC in the phone but they fail on some of the basics.

It also sucks because tons of enthusiasts will still buy the phone because of the perceived notion of "dev support" (which will end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy) and the real notion of the most recent updates. Google ended up creating a massive hype-cycle for the only new device with Gingerbread so we're focused on the phone, not the horrors of fragmentation with all of the existing devices.

All that being said, I'm pretty thrilled with my MT4G, and I know I will be keeping it. I bought the damn thing unlocked, so I'm not about to fork over another half a G on something less than completely game changing.
[myTouch 4G General] Kienz:
Has anyone else taken note of the fact that while it purports to have 16gb onboard storage, there is no mention of how much of that will be used for the OS, and reserved for future OTA's? Remember, no computer ever actually allows you to use all the included storage. And yes, it will still be plenty left over for songs, apps, etc. But as the previous poster stated, why would you shell out another $500 for something that comes limited right out of the box?

And do we know if it's going to included that super special RFS file system?
[myTouch 4G General] angel-78:
I was considering taking my MT4G back to costco and getting the NS, but now that the full specs are out I probably won't. I was expecting maybe a better processor and maybe more ram, and with the lack of HSPA+ I probably will keep the MT4G. The only thing I don't like is the lack of developer support. I am still using my Nexus One because of the lack of roms available for the MT4G at the moment.
[myTouch 4G General] rjhay22:
Expect more developments for the Mytouch in the future, matter of fact Enomther already bought his mytouch and will be devin for us here very soon. You should know him from the N1 forum. And everyone knows how great his ROMs are :-)
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I had used his ROM's on my N1 (recently sold on eBay) from that forum - was very happy with them.
[myTouch 4G General] erebusting:
that made my day...haha..I was like oh yeah huh!...

but I could also sell my MT4G for a decent price if I keep it like new because having two high end phones would not be economically sound for me..(I wish it would be! haha...well one day it will)
[myTouch 4G General] Alankrut:
Really Enomther is starting dev on MYTOUCH 4g, :eek:

Finally about time we get some more devs in.

Everyone knows he makes stock roms, the mytouch needs ones of those :D
[myTouch 4G General] rjhay22:
Yes sir! He should be gettin it this week. :-) lookin forward to his ROMs.
[myTouch 4G General] mingkee:
I think I missed to state "from buying NS"

No memory card support turns me off to buy NS.
[Epic 4G General] jsnryn:
I've been messing around with heimdall all day and can't get it to recognize the device.
[Epic 4G General] ragnarokx:
If you plan on flashing a lot just get bootcamp and use windows. Makes things a lot easier.
[Epic 4G General] brianbrain:
Exactly. Not worth the time (or risk) fooling around in OSX. Just grab an old XP disc and run bootcamp.
[Epic 4G General] jsnryn:
Thanks for the advice. I have a windows laptop too, but I'd really like to get it working on the mac. Maybe it's just the sadist in me, but if it can work it should. Kind of what this whole forum is about isn't it?
[Epic 4G General] tru2life:
Even in bootcamp I could not get the modem to flash on my Mac. Had to go to a true blue windows machine.
[Epic 4G General] Deleted member 2173701:
i got odin to read using 1.1 of noobnl's odin in parallels, but after that ive had nothing. ive had to bootcamp in win 7 to get it to read. using a black macbook model 4,1.
[Epic 4G General] plainbrad:
Since this isn't an option for some of us. Does anyone have another idea of how to get DK17 Modem on my Epic without Odin?
[Epic 4G General] odub303:
Unfortunately, it isn't possible at the moment. I have the same problem, so I used a very old, barely functional Windows machine.
[Epic 4G General] ragnarokx:
I use Window 7 on my Macbook Pro and out flashes fine.

Sent by a little green robot
[Epic 4G General] plainbrad:
That is unfortunate. And I assume no one here has the resources to bake the modem into their rom?
[Epic 4G General] odub303:
That's precisely why we have to flash with Odin. The current modem is not installable from anything on the phone side that we currently have available.
[Epic 4G General] jsnryn:
Heimdall

Has anybody been able to get their epic to be detected by heimdall?

Apparently there is a secondary boot loader installed with newer versions of Froyo that allows Galaxy S phones to be sen by heimdall on a mac.
[Epic 4G General] odub303:
I could not get Heimdall to recognize that my device was connected to my MBP. I was able to use adb, but not Heimdall.
[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
Here's the update on the Heimdall site:

Although Heimdall runs on OS X all Galaxy S phones tested thus far contain a bug in the secondary boot loader that prevents the phone registering itself with OS X. This may change if Samsung release an updated secondary boot loader.

Update: Samsung have released an updated secondary bootloader that corrects the issue. The correct bootloader is included in the official Froyo release. Obviously you have to get Froyo on your device somehow, but from then on it’s smooth sailing.

Note: Keep in mind if the version of Froyo you’re running is not official then the updated Sbl.bin may not have been included.

To test what we've got, I flashed the "[Stock Flash][Odin]DK17 Extended 11/18/2010 w/Camera Fix" on my Windoze 7 machine using the included Odin and files. Then I booted the Epic into downloading mode, plugged it into my macbook pro, opened a terminal window, navigated to the heimdall directory (where I had another flashable rom's files waiting) and entered

./heimdall flash --pit epicpit.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --dbdata datafs.rfs --boot boot.bin --secondary sbl.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zimage --modem modem.bin

Heimdall didn't recognize the device. I had thought that the Odin-flashed DK17 stock update would have the 'updated' bootloader so that this might work, but no joy.

1) Was my process or execution flawed (my linux shell knowledge is limited)? Or,

2) Maybe the secondary bootloader isn't the problem (but that's a whole 'nother can of worms), or

3) Perhaps this [stock]DK17 release did not have the 'new' secondary bootloader - if so, then

[REQ] Official Froyo Secondary Bootloader sbl.bin Please! ;)​

And finally

4) The OP's Q, still unanswered: Has anyone under any circumstances (excepting using another OS) been able to flash an Epic with Heimdall on a Mac?
[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
Ben the developer tells me that " Samsung initially told me that all official Froyo releases contain the fixed bootloader, although recently I've found this not to be the case." So, uh, I guess we're stuck with finding windows machines for a bit.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
So I looked into the XDA WIKI for the Samsung Vibrant. It was a little bare so I have added a few things. If there are things you think is needed to it, please go in and add it. It is a community effort. Another thing that I try to do is to give the responsible party for a fix or something their recognition.

I'm new to this whole WIKI thing so please add to it. We want it to be clean and user friendly. :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snowboarda42:
I rooted my phone a few days ago, now today I'm seeing about 4 emails copied from a secondary gmail account into my primary one. I tried deleting the emails, opening them, etc. I even deleted the secondary account that the emails came from and they still show up. I looked at the actual gmail accounts online and it's not that they're being forwarded so I know it's within the phone.

Rooted with unrEVOked, stock ROM & Kernel, and have only installed SetCPU, Wireless Tether, and SystemPanel.

Help?
[HD7 General] Paul Nur:
The rep told me that is is 4G capable, if it is now or will be, I have not heard anything about it or seen a 4G signal icon, only 3G. I have t-mobile in Florida FYI.
[HD7 General] f1restarter:
It's not 4G capable. I believe it can go up to 7.2Mbps, still plenty for most users.
[HD7 General] louisville:
is he/she a amazon rep , cause they said me that hd7 supports 4G and also they are hooking up all customers with 4G 200 mb plan with tmobile , even though i didn't believe that , but i asked couple of times to amazon woreless and their reps repeatedly insisted that hd7 has $G , thats strange. They are doing pathetic false advertising ; This is what they are saying exactly.......

T-Mobile's New, Expanding Super-Fast HSPA+ Network

As of June, 2010, T-Mobile has upgraded its traditional 3G network to HSPA+ in 25 major metropolitan areas across the U.S., and it plans to continue rolling out this network upgrade to over 100 metropolitan cities and up to 185 million people by the end of 2010. HSPA+ provides our fastest data speeds, up to 3 times faster than AT&T and Verizon's standard 3G networks, while allowing simultaneous voice and data capabilities for the ultimate wireless voice and data experience.

HSPA+ enabled areas will enjoy 4G-like speeds, with a theoretical capability of up to 21 Mbps peak download speeds (and typical download speeds averaging between 5 and 8 Mbps).

While this 3G-enabled mobile phone doesn't offer HSPA+ compatibility, it can benefit from enhanced speeds when connecting to the HSPA+ network today.

can anyone explain what does that mean?
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
It means up to 14Mb/s as compared to the normal 3G speed of around 3.5Mb/s. HSDPA+ goes up to 21.1Mb/s and HSDPA, which is what the HD2 and now the HD7 use, is basically considered to be 3.5G and rated up to 14Mb/s.

Source
[HD7 General] louisville:
now i got it , didn't understand why amazon folk were stressing that it supports 4G , this explains why tmobile tv is running like a trash on present 3G so once hspa+ is on 3g speeds too increase. thank you.
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
Actually, T-Mobile's 3.5G (HSDPA) is faster than Sprint's official 4G. TV should run perfectly fine on T-Mobile's super fast 3.5G.
[HD7 General] f1restarter:
T-Mobile TV's bad performance is only on the WP7 and hopefully Microsoft will fix that just like they need to fix youtube quality. I have the Vibrant as well and T-Mobile TV works fine on the 3G. At least on my HD7, Netflix has much better quality than Youtube and T-Mobile TV.
[HD7 General] z31k:
This article I found will clear the air on most of the misunderstanding of 4g capability. Google (CNET WILL THE REAL 4G PLEASE STAND UP) BTW I run Netflix on my HD7 flawlessly, and that is on numerous trips around Houston.. I <3 my HD7... :D

Sorry about not being able to post the actual link.. I'm a new user and can't post links..
[HD7 General] Paul Nur:
I agree, netflix looks really good, especially when im on 3g. When im off 3g its acceptable. I do to love my HD7 :D

So, why call it 4g then? I guess they just put it out there because it is a good marketing technique? Saying your first and the only one with something has a pretty big affect, especially on the people who want the first and best of ANYTHING and EVERYTHING no matter the cost.
[HD7 General] Paul Nur:
Great article, but it does not elaborate on the HD7 or any WP7 specifically, just carriers.
[Desire HD General] Limerick_fr:
Hello All,

I don't know if it is the right place to ask, but people here might know everything about Desire HD.

If you want to secure a bit your phone, you can use the schema feature to unlock your phone.

But before this, you must have drift down the little arc at the bottom to unlock the screen.

And before that, you must have pushed the button to see the screen.

So my question is: how can we shorten this and keep some security? In other words, is it possible to bypass the drift down in order to just have to push the button before drawing the schema?

Lim.
[Desire HD General] Limerick_fr:

There is a dark area on the whole top end section of my screen. Its about the size of my tool bar. Whenever my screen is fully white you can really notice it its noticeably darker its grey with a white screen.

So its only the size of my toolbar and I only notice it sometimes. If I send it in will they replace it with slcd? I don't know what tithe hell to do.

From what i know you cannot replace a nexus one amoled screen with a s-lcd so most likely if you send it in they will send you a s-lcd replacement or replace your amoled screen. They are like 60 bucks on ebay if you dont want to send it in.

I have paired my Motorola Stereo Bluetooth headset to my HTC Surround. Music plays fine but when I play a video the sound comes from the phones speakers. I have not found a way to fix this and get video sound to come through my Bluetooth headset.

Actually, this proves nothing. All it shows is that the Nexus S had it's antenna swapped. Has anyone even checked if the antenna on the Nexus S was the same as the SGS one? Furthermore, we don't even know how the old antenna performed.
