[QUOTE=Cree8ive;32257633]I am feeling more and more restless about getting my SGS II around Christmas time...[/QUOTE] Buddy by XMAS we'll have the next nexus phones, and Samsung is confirmed to be making it. You won't want to bother with the SGS II.

What's the average battery life of a Nexus S is supposed to be? I am just about getting a day of use with Wi-Fi on and using the odd app now and again throughout the day?

Samsung confirmed the Nexus Prime when they sent a Cease and Desist order to someone who had gotten their hands on the Nexus Prime ROM.

[editline]12th September 2011[/editline] Take the geek.com article for what you will, there's no real way to confirm it properly.

I dunno, here HSPA+ only gets around 6-8 Mbps.

[QUOTE=Inplabth;32261161]And what the fuck do you expect us to do about it?[/QUOTE] Nothing. I was simply saying that LTE isn't as much of a leap from HSPA+ as it was claimed to be. Looks like somebody is getting defensive about absolutely nothing.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;32261711]Unfortunately that white UI is butt ugly.[/QUOTE] I'm inclined to agree. Especially with the black top bars. It's fucking horribly inconsistent. Stock black 2.3 is still my favourite when it comes to android phones.

The UI isn't all white. You can change the colors too

Is there a working SGS MIUI? [editline]13th September 2011[/editline] Oh well, found one on XDA in 5 minutes Now the real question: What is the best way to test a ROM without deleting your old one?

Just got myself a Sprint Nexus S. I love it so far.

[QUOTE=djjkxbox360;32263097]There's not really a way to test a rom, but if you have clockwork mod recovery and backup your old rom, you can't really go wrong[/QUOTE] Oh well, going to do a Nandroid now

[QUOTE=garrynohome;32261439]Nothing. I was simply saying that LTE isn't as much of a leap from HSPA+ as it was claimed to be. Looks like somebody is getting defensive about absolutely nothing.[/QUOTE] I dunno, seeing as how you guys get LTE speeds from HSPA+, I wouldn't be surprised to see about a 4-5 Mbps leap from HSPA+ to LTE for you guys, it's up to you to say whether that's important or not. AT&T's currently relatively unloaded network is yielding LTE speeds of something like 29 Mbps consistently on the downstream, so I think this is a fact of just having overloaded towers, like you said. The "revolution" will be from LTE Advanced, if HSPA+ doesn't jump to over 100 Mbps. Either way if HSPA+ can evolve to meet the speeds of LTE Advanced without the battery consumption, I'm all for it. Anything that can build on what we already have deployed for more seamless rollout and better performance is good. [editline]12th September 2011[/editline] Also all LTE will be 700 MHz for Verizon and AT&T, WCDMA for AT&T is on the 850 MHz band, so in theory the building penetration and general signal range of a single tower should be fine. T-Mobile is hit with having to use 1700 Mhz and some other freq, and Sprint's LTE will be either 1500+ MHz or around 2500 MHz, which will suck but oh well I don't use Sprint. Don't get what's bad about AT&T and Verizon though, the former has good tech but doesn't have as good cell reception in general, Verizon apparently does best in signal reception for many areas. T-Mobile is okay, just the higher frequencies will hurt, and Sprint just has to bend over and take it when the signal has a greater freq. than common WiFi and wireless phones. [editline]12th September 2011[/editline] For LTE if they go with the 2.5 GHz idea.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;32252244]Are you planning to use the keyboard dock? If you're not, I'd suggest taking a look at Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.[/QUOTE] Yes. So I guess I will probably stick with that. Thanks anyway.

Got a LG pheonix, yay. Made a tic tac toe app, yay. Going to put ads on it and see how many dipshits download it from the market. [editline]13th September 2011[/editline] Looking at chart in op, I forgot the palm even fucking existed.

Not anymore it doesn't.

MIUI/CM7 use a different filesystem than Samsung roms and going back to Samsung roms requires a repartition with ODIN.

My ZTE blade just hit 20h on battery and its at 61% woop.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;32266618]My ZTE blade just hit 20h on battery and its at 61% woop.[/QUOTE]Did you connect it to a car battery?

Is that normal battery rates? I just watched a movie on my phone and the battery went from 100% to 88%

My battery has good and bad days, some days it does really well by the end of the day I' e got about 50% others I can be on critical battery at about 8pm.

Why it is VERY important to clear battery stat after ROM installation (my own personal mess up) Before wipe: [img]http://i.imgur.com/unwNn.png[/img] After: [img]http://i.imgur.com/dx9Lb.png[/img]

[QUOTE=PyroCF;32266618]My ZTE blade just hit 20h on battery and its at 61% woop.[/QUOTE] How much have you been using it? I get a little over 2 days if I don't touch the thing, but a 40 minute show on netflix can drain it ~20%

[QUOTE=Splarg!;32269681]How much have you been using it? I get a little over 2 days if I don't touch the thing, but a 40 show on netflix can drain it ~20%[/QUOTE] Magic, I don't know how. CM 7.1.0 RC1, hardly anything installed might explain it. Now if only BusyBox would hurry up and install on my Tab. My favourite ROM dev from the Galaxy Tab 7 has just come over.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;32268041]Is that normal battery rates?
