That's a frigging riot...lmfao on that...It's a downgrade because it doesn't have a "official 2.2 release"..Bull Hockey...I wouldn't load a official release on my phone ever again...It ain't worth it..Those running stock can only dream that their phones ran as good as what most of ours do...and look 1/2 as good...

Get on the developers forum...look over

all

of the roms available..and pick one to try...and read up on it...

1...this phone does 1ghz...out of the box...I've seen folks running as high as 1.5 1.6 stable..over clocked and under volted

2...What programs are you possible running where you need more...

3..As to what will do the best for you...that will entirely be up to the chips in your phone...they all perform differently...same for battery life...same for down load speeds...

4...You can make your phone into what ever you want...and for the money..I'll take the Captivate over the Nexus any day..

If you actually want a rom that is all institutional green...go for it...(gag) but you are short changing yourself...since you have 1 of the best 4" displays in your hands..

Are the phones perfect...HA...nope...but they can be made to perform great...and look fantastic..and that's what it's all about..The means to have it this way has been posted...all you have to do is start researching for yourself..decide what you want..and start downloading..

My bad i meant gingerbread, not sure why i added froyo in that sentence. If the nexus s ran on att's 3g network i'd dump my captivate for it, no touchwiz just pure google.

[G Tablet General] muqali:
Am I understanding all I've read right in that all I'll need to do to get back to "stock" 3389 is use the update.zip and config files?

Do any of the custom roms actually change the bootloader or flash partitions? Is it possible to simply run an operating system completely off external SD cards.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
If you flash the 3389 update the tablet will be completely stock. It also erases Clockwork recovery if you have that installed.

There are 2 threads about running ubuntu at this time. One in a vnc server and one on the external sdcard.

There are 2 threads on custom kernels.

RE: Nexus S vs i9000m pointer review

this originally came from a PM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
WIND is way worth it ($40 all you can eat), at least in the GTA area

not sure how is the reception over around your area, but it should definitely considered.

I was on FIDO until just a couple of weeks ago, heck i still need to cancel my FIDO account, but the plan was simply too sweet to resist so i made the jump

..and no i definitely did not switch carrier because of the phone, it's rather the other way around.

After being "forced" to WIND :p (peer pressure), no, not really, i'm paying at least $60 less with 2 PHONES with ALL features, than 2 phones on FIDO with LESS options, and DATA only in 1 phone, it'd have been stupid not to take the WIND plan

but that was my best and worst move at the same time.

I totally forgot about the PHONEs that i can use on an AWS network, you need both 1700+2100 to properly get 3G, it wont work if you only have 1 band

So, i was screwed in that regard, I really like my SGS even with all its flaws it still beats the SNS

They are yes essentially the same phone with minor differences, yet the one that is killing me the most is the lack of microSD support, and no MKV, DivX, AVI support on hardware

yes 2.3 is nice, but it's more buggy than 2.2

yes it has flash for the camera, but it's totally useless for outdoor pictures, it might be okay if you are in a party room

yes it has NFC, but... no one in America is using it at all, this new feature it is completely wasted, until some form of Advertising Media Marketing, makes use of them, and make Movie Posters interactive, or until supermarket starts tagging their boxes and cans with NFC tags to scan the prices... which basically means, it's absolutely useless, as there will be no retailers willing to spend that kind of money on useless electronic tags, when the good old bar code is so much more efficient.

i'll trade NFC over microSD any time.

playing movies, animes, foreign films with subtitles and without Hardware decoding on the SNS really sucks, performance and video quality wise

oh by the way no hardware support for 720p on the SNS

same mic recording audio gain bug found on the SGS, in the SNS

GPS works on the SNS, but the same i'll say about the SGS, never had any problem with the GPS on the SGS

battery life on the SNS is better than the SGS, even tough it uses a crappier battery

very little accessories available for the SNS on ebay, etc

LauncherPRO has always been my main launcher, don't like stock android, and totally despise TWlauncher

what i miss the most in the SNS that was also build in in SGS is the front facing chat phone calls, yes the SNS has FFC, but it has no support to use FFC for normal phone calls

it only works via 3rd party apps like Fring, Yahoo, Tango, etc.... which totally kills the point of having a FFC for regular phone calls

that was possible in the SGS

... there are alot more i can go on for, but those are the basic main issues that annoys the most, coming from a SGS experience
[Galaxy S I9000 General] salmanslick:
thank you gamer , nice review .. thumbs up

i m cooo with my sgs :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
The SGS does support UMTS video calls (what you call normal phone call) but Bell charges an extra $5/month for it so nobody has it. Plus, who can you call with that feature? Your other friend with a SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
no one said SGS doesn't

it is the SNS that is missing the stock video dialer to use that feature

and you can call anyone with a video chat capable phone, it doesn't need to be SGS

the old "dumb" phones (nokia, samsung, LG) that are video capable works as well
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
yeah, as long as they pay $5/month

I think this technology was popular in Japan but I have never seen someone using it in Canada
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
Do you find Wind's Fair Usage Policy unfair? Isn't unlimited, unlimited, not capped?

I think when my Telus contract is up (November, 2012) I will have a lot of choices at a lot less money.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
re: wind fair usage policy

yes, it's not really unlimited data, it's 5 GB

they won't really cap you off if you go over, i think they do it on a case by case basis, as in they'll look at the ports you have been using the most, and if any of those falls into File sharing then they will most likely cap you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
@thequinox

re: speedtest.net

in the GTA i constantly get 2.8 Mbps down, and 800 Kbps up in many areas of the city

very decent if you ask me

same results using both SNS and XT720

re: video out on the SNS

yes, it is supported, and using the same cable as the SGS (Nokia something something, forgot model #)

re: manufacture issues...

is very hard to say, i got lucky i guess

if you don't want to run the risk, go to your local phone shops, usually those chinese or indian cell phone stores in the malls sells them at a bit high ($700-$800) but at least you can check out the phone in person, and not have to run the risk of buying it from Best Buy USA
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thequinox:
Wind Mobile in Edmonton

Yes, no one's unlimited plan is ever unlimited, but 5GB is pretty decent if you ask me. The cap doesn't seem like it would really hurt though, as I can't get uploads higher than 0.15Mbps anyway.

I found out what was going on with the speed test. Apparently Wind's data access comes from Ontario, and SpeedTest.net determines where you are based on IP location. If you connect with WiFi it will give you a server in your area, then you can just switch to 3G and complete the test with that server. I did this and tested with an Edmonton server... 1.75Mbps down and 0.14 up. About the same. Again, respectable download, abysmal upload.

I still need to run speed tests in more areas, but this part of the city is where I live and work, so it matters the most to me. I can't help but feel there is a cap here. I never get more or less than 0.15Mpbs up.

Another issue I've seen is my data just cutting out. I'll have full bars but just no 3G access. Sometimes a power cycle brings it back, sometimes I just have to wait. Seems to only happen when I'm at home though, so it must be something wrong with the AP i'm near.

A Google search shows I'm not alone in this upload problem. A shame :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
in the case of WIND mobile i switched more due their unlimited talk plans, and unlimited long distance, and unlimited word wide SMS, also all their HOME ZONES in different Cities that attracted me the most

the unlimited internet was just the cherry on top of the icing :D

on FIDO/ROGERS i was paying just about the same for the 6 GB data package

so i might be 1 GB down from data, but i gained a lot more on the useful stuff ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
Absolutely, I agree. I have a 500MB plan and I never go over 175Mb/month. My only problem is when a company says one thing and the fine print says another.

I would just like a little honesty in corporate policies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
my average is aprox 3 GB a month
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aaron520:
A bit unrelated but cud anyone help

I have the Motorola Xt720 that Wind provides, but now i see they have the newer Samsung Nexus S, and i'm considering swapping phones, but should I?

I have looked at the pros and cons, but the 2 phones are better and worse than each other on different fields and to me seem to balance out oddly. like the xt720 has sd card while the SNS doesn't but has a significantly bigger internal memory, which means more apps and stuff, i find that on my moto that i constantly run low in internal memory due to too many apps. SNS runs 2.3 and the xt720 runs 2.1; however, if i root my xt720 i could update it to 2.2 (which i hear is less glitcher than 2.3), but I'd void my warranty. the camera on the xt720 is much better, not sure about the video though. The SNS i see covers more video format though, and seems to have a longer battery life. I find myself having to constantly charge my Motorola if i use it moderately and it easily over-heats which leads to more battery consumption. but that SD card thing for the SNS is the real con for me, i have a few vidoes, but I am heavy on music. But at the same time i want more apps...

So essentially I have 3 choices:

-Keep my xt720 the way it is and get on with life

-Root my Xt720 and upgrade to 2.2 or

-Get the Samsung Nexus S

I'm really confused D': , and would really appreciate help on the subject, also if there is an x-factor that I'm missing (either good or bad) i want to know about it. What do you guys think? oh, and in case anyone was wondering i have the irresistable plan :D

Theft Aware is running a promotion for T-Mobile users. Keep your new shiny phone safe with it. Install it from market, I got a popup immediately saying that it was free for a license. Promotion expires on the 19th

May have to try this, not really happy with Mobile Defense, yes it still works and does what it says it will do but they haven't updated anything for like 8 months

EDIT: I do believe that the wording is wrong where did you see where it says its free to tmo customers
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
there are lots of freebies apps in android market that can do the same, tracking, alerting, locking, data wipe, etc...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] annndrewww:
Got it! Thanks for the info.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DKYang:
You do know that there are 2 T-Mobile's right?

According to the Theft Aware site, this promotion is only for T-Mobile Europe, not USA. Look under the news column on the right: http://www.theftaware.com/?l=en&step=section_invis

It links to this facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/TopApps?v=app_118827704853728

EDIT: Did a simple google search and it's T-Mobile Germany only.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
tis quite a shame,
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] timfresh:
im in usa, got my free license. this is a bad ass program.:)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Arcarsenal:
While you are correct in that this particular promotion is targeted at German T-Mobile customers, it does indeed work with US phones. I have a license and my sister has one on her G2. And even more technically, T-Mobile USA is owned by T-Mobile Germany... so in a roundabout way all T-Mobile customers are eligible :D.

I doubt they would voice the license; you obviously have to have a T-Mobile SIM to get the promotion so it's not like the entire country is getting a free ride. Furthermore, when setting up an emergency contact it tells you that your selected number isn't an international one - so not all of the security functionality may work properly in the US. In any case, at the moment, T-Mobile USA customers can get a free license by downloading the app through the market today.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] LordPhong:
can you please point me to where the promo is? I don't see it anywhere. Is it over?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] insanemachine:
I'm on pay as you go with t-mobile in the usa. As soon as I installed the trial from the market. I got notified that I got the full license for free.

I guess it's not just for germany.

As for the number is not an international one, I got the same thing. You must enter it in the following format: +15555555555

With the 1 being the usa county code.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] timfresh:
Its in the market
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] timfresh:
Actually, area code & number works well. U can test it by texting youself a command.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] knytphal:
I just installed this from the market as well, I didn't get the notification about getting the full license for free...though honestly I don't think I'll have much of an issue with paying the little bit of next to nothing to protect my $500+ phone. ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dimatx:
Installed on my Nexus S with TMo, but free license notification did not come up. Any idea on what may be preventing it from triggering?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Arcarsenal:
You need to set the whole app up, then launch it. On first launch it will tell you about the license.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dimatx:
I did all that, even set up the app itself and enabled it, but no free license notification. What does it use to detect if you're on TMo or not?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
Pretty sure that the promo only applies to Tmo in EU
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dimatx:
The posts above suggest that it works just fine for TMo US.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
It seems really hit or miss
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] timfresh:
Just activated second line in usa. Found my daughters location within 6 meters. This is the best app ever.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DKYang:
I'm assuming it looks at the IMEI number because once you are done with the setup and want to enter/buy license, it asks for the IMEI number, not carrier. I say that because they supposedly partnered up with T-Mobile Germany. The app could also just take a look at the SIM card or whatever information that indicates it's using T-Mobile.

For $13 I wish it had a web UI.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
Hmmm i guess so
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dimatx:
I also figured it'd be an IMEI because you can have multiple 'allowed' SIMs on the same device. If it is IMEI, is it that they simply don't have all of the IMEI's in their database?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Loggerhead87:
Install it from the market, then run it through the setup. At the end of the setup process it'll prompt you to uninstall the "setup" app. Then, once you run the fully setup version of the app for the first time, the window below will pop up. Also, I'm a TMO user in the US.

Also, activation email (some links are borked):

free Theft Aware

Hi all!

I work at ITAgents - we develop Theft Aware. Actually the free versions for some US customers are available because we included a mobile carrier sign that isnt a german one.

We know about that but - have fun with the free app (those whom get it :-)

> For $13 I wish it had a web UI.

We are currently developing a web UI. It will be available by in march - probably sooner.

I'm glad so many of you like our product.

Only thing is .... I get a pop-up saying.... my notification number isn't an international number.... would it still work in the US?

Had to install it three separate times on my NS (due to issues flashing new ROM's & having to do a full wipe more than once); free license came through fine each time.

Also installed it on my previous Nexus One, worked like a charm.

Just a note, Lookout identifies the app as spyware, but I believe that's only due to the apps permissions & capabilities.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
No free license for me. I guess I'll stick with Lookout Mobile.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] WernerW:
international number

you need to enter the international prefix.

that would be for USA to start with "+01" followed by your number without the first 0

like +01650210901

if your number is 0650210901

Lookout marks Theft Aware as spyware because Lookout is our competitor...and because Theft Aware could be used to spy on someone. due to the invisibility you could install it on your girls phone and stalk her. of course we dont want you to do this. anyway - it's like buying a knife. you can use it to cook or to commit a crime.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Nexus MC:
Thanks for that link. Just to add: if you are not rooted and also gave the trial (like I did), just access Manage Apps and look for the name you set up the Theft Aware app. It confused me at first since I was looking for Theft Aware app.

I had a MyTouch Slide that was no longer working and called to receive a replacement as it was still under warranty. When I called in the T-Mobile rep told me they did not have any Slide's he could exchange for and offered me a Vibrant. Asked him if there were any G2's available as I greatly prefer having a keyboard and he said there were not. I needed a phone as soon possible so I went ahead and took the Vibrant which he said would be a brand new phone and have a new 1 year warranty.

My question is, once the Vibrant comes in will I be able to use their 14 day return policy they usually offer when you buy a new phone, and be able to get a G2, if I let them know I need a keyboard? Or am I stuck with the Vibrant?

Thanks for the help guys.
