While I was at BB yesterday, I saw at least 4 people buy iPhone 4s and every single one of them had to have their hand held on using their phone. Even down to making a call. It's surprising how many people are completely phone-illiterate. 2 people were upgrading from a RAZR! LOL
[Nexus S General] hicube:
Thanks again for the valuable info. Sounds like a deal. I forgot to ask you if they needed the phone back if the plan was canceled and if not returned will you be charged for the full price of the phone?

It's good to know that it won't hurt credit. Didn't know the difference between 'fees' and 'penalties'.

Haha, I guess that's what the public likes.. something easy. but really they are missing out on the good stuff of Android.
[Nexus S General] hicube:
**Update**

Spoke with a rep at best buy mobile over the phone (1-877-702-2211). Found some new info. He told me that since Nexus S is a smart phone that the early termination fee will be $325 instead and phone is required to be returned and if not they will charge the phone for full price. :(

sounds like a bad deal now.. don't know if anyone could confirm that.
[Nexus S General] jowabi:
Now I'm glad I didn't buy the phone on contract with a $325 ETF. It turns out the BB employee was legit and I now have a mint condition SNS for only $200. I guess I was just in the right place at the right time.

Now once the kids are in bed, it time to root!
[Nexus S General] mac227:
I bought my NS outright no contract--straight up paid the 530$ about 25 days ago. If I bring them my recipt will they refund me the $100 or does it only work for purchase with a contract?
[Nexus S General] hicube:
It only works with 2 yr contract.

Anybody used this as part of their upgrade from t-mobile?
[Nexus S General] Five0nIt:
I did. Worked with no problem.
[Nexus S General] xyrcncp:
I upgraded a line as well. However, the order number won't come up in the system at all, even had Customer Service check and they can't find it :confused:

Seems like another round of fighting with Best Buy for me. Third time an order they had to ship to me has either been delayed or incorrect....ugh.
[Nexus S General] vrupp:
thanks a lot
[Nexus S General] ashirian:
YES!!! I just got one tonight!!!

I was just at the T-mobile store today playing with Galaxy S 4G. I find the Samsung's UI to be quite annoying and I didn't like it at all. The lady there was trying to get me to buy GS4G but I just couldn't. I walked out a little later with bs excuse then, just walked over to Best Buy mobile and got myself a Nexus S, with the coupon. I loved seeing price go fron $669.99 to $520 then with upgrade it went down to $245, then with the coupon total came down to $145.($99.99 + best buy buy back program one time fee + insurance/warrenty)

I was thinking of waiting until G2x or Galaxy S II but honestly, I hate their UI so much. I think the dual core and 4G will kill the battery so quick. And where I live, I don't get 4G services anyway.

I can't stop stare at the beautiful SAMOLED screen and the body is just snugly fitting into my palm compare to my old ginormous HD2. I'm so happy right now.:D
[Nexus S General] :
So I went into best buy mobile today to take advantage of this.

I ended up with a free mytouch4g as well thanks to a buy one get one free promo.

Hot dog!
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Has anyone used this recently? I am trying to get my dad a NS but I can't find the coupon online? I never used it for my phone but it seems like the offer might have disappeared...

Since "Go dialer" yields no results, I'll assume we mean Go Contacts?

I have a question i have a g2 in usa but software is 174....but thats for desire z. Now how do i go from here to 1.22....which is g2 usa....or its the same? Please help
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I don't quite understand. So you're saying you have a G2 and its running a software version of 1.74? You're not rooted or anything? or...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montalvo:
No rooted it has s on I'm not able to put any Rom from xda I have a modaco sense Rom
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montalvo:
No rooted not able to put roms except a modaco sense
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Wait, so how did you get a custom ROM on your phone without rooting... I'm still losing the level here. I'm not exactly familiar with Modaco Sense.

Regardless, the Sense based ROMs for the G2/DZ are all Desire Z ROMs, because the G2 has stock Android, not Sense. This meaning that the Sense-based ROMs are going to have 1.72 etc. because its going to follow the DZ numbering for software releases. Changing your ROM changes your software version, so that is why yours shows 1.72, not 1.22.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montalvo:
It's there any way I can go back I try to revert but it says wrong Omaha or image to old and I think is because since its a desire z Rom I can only revert to stock z instead of stock g2.... does a make any sense.?

I have been looking for a good case for my G2, but no luck. I found one that I really liked, but its sold out everywhere!

Can someone recommend me a good case please?

Thanks :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] elliott2705:
Otterbox. Do it!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Mftek1:
How is that case?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] elliott2705:
IMO its really good, looks nice, feels solid.

Add a little bulk but only really to be expected. The back is a little slippery but i like it. It doesn't have the grip that the hard rubber ones do, but i think its a little more hard wearing.

Theres a youtube video review of it linked on here somewhere.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Mftek1:
Cool, thanks bro. Ill check it out
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
Otterbox is a nice case, but there's 2 warnings for it.

first of all, if you put it on, do not plan to take it off. doing so repeatedly can and will break a teeth or two on the case.

2ndly. be extremely careful when you open the case, it can scratch the actual phone. I got 1 scratch on a corner already

so i would suggest that if you get the otterbox, do not make any plans to take it out except for a rare occasion.

I am currently using the case, i love it, but i learned not to take it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Mftek1:
Oh ok, would you recommend another case to me?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
currently I have no idea. I'm still using the otterbox because i don't have time to buy a new one, but I do not have any plans on get a new one until the end of this month. i have too much to do and moving to a new apartment, so the adress is unstable atm.

I'll try and update later though.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tjmarchand:
I've been using the black gel case from T-Mobile ever since I got the phone, and it's been great. Hasn't gotten dirty/cracked and is easy to take on and off. Hasn't damaged the phone, and it's protected it pretty well. Yesterday my G2 fell from my sweatshirt pocket onto the concrete in my backyard, and there's only a small mark where it hit under the case. I've never tried the Otterbox that may be better.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] starfcker69:
I've been using the T-Mobile G2 Body Glove Matrix since Oct and am VERY happy with it. When it was new one of the tabs was catching on something but it was fine after a week. I never take the case off -- use an external battery pack instead of a spare battery.

It's $20 on Ebay (US) and I'm not the seller. I think you can get it for less if you shop around.

Otterbox Commuter case it's the way to go. Tried others, but love this one. It's $30 on Ebay.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] senser1080:
DO NOT get the cheaper black gel skin case from Tmo because its teeth scratch the crap out of your phone when removing it. Same with that otter box I guess, but OB is a hardcase that feels better and doesn't stink. The case I got smells like booty!

The gel skin case has poorly placed/too thick of teeth so the phone never shuts completely and is slightly wedged open.

I def want to find another case that's more streamlined because I am so scared of dropping my G2.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Jive Turkey:
Anybody know if it's possible to add billing countries that aren't listed on the phone?

I recently purchased a pre from the UK, but I live in Australia. The pre was officially available in Australia, so I didn't think I would have any problems with it, but I can't purchase apps because Australia isn't listed as a billing coutry!

The countries in my list are: Austria, Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Netherlands.

Alternatively, are there any unofficial app stores for WebOS?

Or would flashing an Australian ROM work?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] rwhitby:
It is not possible to add billing countries.

No webOS phone has ever been officially available in Australia. In fact, no webOS phone has ever been officially available in the Southern Hemisphere.

You have a device with UK app catalog access set in the device record on Palm's servers, and that can never be changed.

Preware is the alternative app catalog for webOS.

There is no such thing as an Australian ROM (there is no such thing as a ROM for webOS devices, it's flash memory not Read-Only Memory), and even if there was such a thing it wouldn't help you since the setting for which app catalog you are able to access is stored in the device record on Palm's servers.

The only way to purchase apps on a webOS phone in Australia is to have it first activated in another country (as you have done) and then use a credit card from a country in that area. For example, I live in Australia, buy webOS devices from the UK, ship them to the US for first activation, then ship them to Australia, and use a US debit card from www.simon.com to buy apps.

Yes, it is that hard, and yes that is the only way to do it.

-- Rod
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Jive Turkey:
Thanks for the info rwhitby.

You're right, I was mistaken about the pre being available in Australia. It's advertised on http://www.palm.com/au/ but can't actually be purchased.

One more question, why don't I have the US in my billing country list? I would much rather pay in USD than EUR or GBP, it's almost 25% cheaper (with current currency rates).
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] rwhitby:
Your device record on the Palm servers is set to the UK App Catalog.

That device (or more precisely, that comms board in that device) can never purchase from the US App Catalog.

The set of billing countries cannot be changed once the device has been activated once.

-- Rod
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Jive Turkey:
Thanks again Rod.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] LazPL:
Rod, first, great to see you and WebOS on XDA, which I've been part of for years. Question - do you know of anybody successfully claiming a new Pre2 through warranty (since HP never said that if you activate in the wrong country or wrong operator, you're f'ed where apps are concerned) in order to re-activate it with another SIM? I bought my Pre2 from the HP UK site via mail order to Sweden as soon as it appeared a couple of months ago, but of course, I never figured out that I should have activated it using a UK SIM card... I know you're getting these questions a lot so maybe you've heard of some success stories in that respect? It would perhaps also be a signal to HP if people started claiming returns based on the (un)availability of apps when not in an official country...

In my case, HP's UK store "knew" I was ordering TO Sweden, and still, no disclaimers or anything like that. It could be either a warranty case, or a consumer rights case.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] rwhitby:
Yes, we have heard of people having success with such claims.

-- Rod
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] LazPL:
Well, I am really sad to report that I failed (at least via mail) to get Palm UK to replace my phone on the grounds that I can't buy apps without activating it as above. Here's the response from Palm:

The really sad thing is the statement that they "don't plan to include Sweden". They didn't say "right now", just that they don't. I am assuming that this goes for other countries not on the list as well... I wonder if anybody has any other information to contradict?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Corduroy-21:
I just ordered my Pre2 from their UK site and they sent me an email telling me that in my country I wouldn't have access to the App Store. They asked me if I'd like to cancel my order. That was nice of them (I didn't cancel because I already knew it).

However, it really sucks that they don't plan to change something with this App store thing. It's like they don't want money from their customers.

I had to take my 0004 back because the screen was lifting and I got a 0003. After many many issues trying to root it I finally got it to work don't ask me how. So how do I know if I have a permanent recovery or not? I tried putting the pcm6img zip on my SD card and when it scans it in hboot it won't find it, I'm using armons 2.3 recovery. Everything works backups restores you name it it works I just need to know why it won't find the zip in hboot. Second., your supposed to type "dmesg" in terminal emulator and scroll down to number 7 and see what kind of screen you have either Epson or novatech, this worked on my 0004 and it was a nova tech screen. I'm not seeing any screen type on my 0003 in terminal emulator. Am I just missing it or what dude?

What are you trying to do with the PC36IMG.zip? If it's already rooted and you have Amon_RA on there, what else are you trying to accomplish? The reason it's not finding it is because it's not named properly. It HAS to be named PC36IMG.zip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevo760:
I figured it out, there's different pc36im"s the one I was trying to get it to recognize was the pc36img from the autoroot 2.3 forum that was an ruu. That was one of the problems I had rooting it never pushed that file and it never made a back up I had to flash the sroff manualy via temporary recovery then I had to ruu back to the updated software then I had to push Sprint lovers Rom and recovery through adb. It was just a huge cluster **** of problems. It sounds confusing because it was confusing

Hey there, I've been using some SenseHD roms lately like eVil's NXSenseHD v1.1 and MM's SuperHybrid v1.7... and I can't help but notice the battery life to drop like a rock. Now I read some ways to prolong it is by flashing the old desire kernel from eVil's NXSense v1.26 rom. I found that while this DRASTICALLY improve's battery life, checking the battery usage it says that the screen burns most of the power in SenseHD roms, but in NXSense, the screen barely uses anything.

And also i can confirm this when screen is off, my battery lasted me a long time, but when i turn on the screen... i can literally see my battery percentage drop by the minute. anyone else experiencing these problems and any fixes?

The problem is that my phone seems to refuse to get any service at all. The signal icon just shows a big "X" and it is stuck in "Searching for service".

Did you flash your Epic to Telcel? If so, that process might be causing you some problems. After using Odin to get back to stock, install CWM3 then SRF1.0.1, then once you're stable there, try the carrier flash again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homeroe:
Thanks but it didn't work. Still stuck with no service.

What do you mean by "Flashing my epic to telcel" and that "Carrier flash?" is on Iusacell, since Telcel dont support CDMA.

And one last thing, what is SFR1.0.1?

EDIT:

Im reverting back to DI18 Stock rom with odin to see if i can do something.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
Oh okay - the banner under your username says Telcel, so I figured they were it. I thought I'd read they support CDMA but I was mistaken.

SRF1.0.1 is SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1.

On the flash, let me rephrase - did you do anything special to get the Epic to work on Iusacell, or did it work there out of the box?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
That's the reason then. You can't change ROMs if you're on a carrier other than Sprint, it will revert your phone back to Sprint.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homeroe:
Nope, the phone was working just fine out of the box. It had signal (Roaming) and all.

I even flashed like 3 roms before Syndicate and it was working just fine. Was just yesterday that i decided to try this ROM out and got the problem.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s84471:
I have a similar problem as the OP, and I'm pretty sure it's ClockworkMod that's causing it.

Seems like every other time I do something in CWM, I get no service and an unknown Baseband and Hardware version in the phone's settings.

So far the only reliable way I've found of fixing it is to Odin all the way back to DI18 and start fresh.

For some reason Odining the modem or EB13 doesn't work (I still get no service).

And I must say, it's incredibly frustrating.

I guess I'll just have to get SRF flashed and never touch CWM again (because doing so almost always breaks my phone).

I'd like to be able to make Nandroid backups though, but unfortunately, doing so breaks the modem (which really doesn't make any sense).
