I'm hoping with all my might that the GSM-CDMA-LTE radio rumors are true about the Nexus. That means that the Verizon version is actually plausible. From the fact that nobody's said anything contrary to that rumor, I still have hope.

My battery can't hold a charge. It discharges to 50% after 7 hours of nothing(besides standard processes which leave it awake for about 1/10 the time). at all. Reviews say it has 9.5 hours while looping a video but that isn't close to what I'm getting. Should I switch it out at AT&T or is this normal?

if you're rooted, try recalibrating your battery. There are apps in the market that make this simple. Otherwise it might be the ROM you're using.

If not, take it back.

Nope, running the touchwiz that came with it. Would rooting and recalibrating help? Will AT&T instantly replace the battery or would I have to have it wait for a replacement? Does it have to be at the same.store I bought the phone at?

Edit: still not used to he keyboard on here.

Maybe I'm just used to the 30% drain in 2 hours of my Thunderbolt, but isn't 50% in 7 pretty damn good?

My iPhone had about 5x that and.ended the day at 90% if it wasn't used. This wouldn't make it 24 hours. Would a constant H+ connection be the cause?

I assume you have a new SGS2. I had the very same problem when I bought mine. I was considering returning it, but then someone on XDA told me the battery would get better after 1-2 weeks and I waited. Now it's at 80% after 10 hours of minor usage.

Guys, I'm currently using cyanogen Mod7, and it's actually the first custom mod I tried. Should I give MIUI a shot? Motorola Defy here.

Minecraft Pocket Edition has just been released for non-Xperia Play devices, still $6.99 but there is a trial

[Flaming Spaz]

I'll buy it once someone has tried Wii/PS3 controllers

[tempotempo]

Some asshole stole my Galaxy SII.

Still saying "not compatible" to my ZTE Blade.

Probably requires ARMv7

[mankind_me]

Minecraft works on my phone, too bad I have to buy it even if I have it bought on PC.

[Flaming Spaz]

Does anyone know a good SGS II ROM? Now all apps are incompatible with VillianDroid

[Arachnidus]

I'm incredibly surprised by the quality of Minecraft Mobile.

spergin' on the go

[QUOTE=FlamingSpaz;32672700]Does anyone know a good SGS II ROM? Now all apps are incompatible with VillianDroid[/QUOTE]

I used Cognition until a few days ago, then I switched to LeoMar's Revolution ROM, mostly because it was KI3 and it's essentially a kitchen right on your phone (has its own app to download add-ons and stuff). I like it really, but battery life isn't that good.

I just read from a Norwegian news article that Google and Samsung are going to delay the announcement of the new Nexus Prime phone that was supposed to be unveiled next week in respect of the passing of Steve Jobs.

Anyone can confirm this?

It's true.

[quote]Samsung has just announced, rather sensationally, that the product launch it had planned in conjunction with Google for next week’s CTIA will not in fact be happening. Here’s the statement in full:

“Samsung and Google decide to postpone the new product announcement at CTIA Fall. We agree that it is just not the right time to announce a new product. New date and venue will be shortly announced.”

Alternately known as the Galaxy Nexus or the Nexus Prime, this device was widely expected to give us a first look at Google’s next major iteration of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, but for whatever reason, the two companies have decided to push its official debut back. It was only this morning that we got a glimpse of a smartphone looking very much like this next Nexus — a leak that may or may not have anything to do with this sudden change of plans. Either way, Eric Schmidt promised us we’d see Ice Cream Sandwich by the end of November, so we may be facing a delay, but it should be a relatively small one.

Via: Stuff.tv

Update: We’ve just received an email from Samsung Mobile’s director of PR in the US, Kim Titus, confirming the situation:

Samsung and Google have decided to postpone the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event during the CTIA in San Diego, previously scheduled for Oct. 11.

Under the current circumstances, both parties have agreed that this is not the appropriate time for the announcement of a new product. We would ask for the understanding of our clients and media for any inconvenience caused. We will announce a new date and venue in due course.

Update 2: In a statement to both All Things D and CNET, a Samsung spokesperson has confirmed the widespread supposition that Steve Jobs’ death is the cause for the delay. There’s no information yet on when the rescheduled launch event will be taking place.[/quote]

Yeah, that's the reason.

Ops, got ninja'd.

With 2.3.3 the Evo4G boots in like 5 seconds!

[ItWasNiceToKnow]

Just got my Optimus 2x.
It came with 2.2.2, and there are no updates.. anyone know when 2.3 is coming?

Been using Revolution ROM too since the last version, but have been getting fairly good battery life (For me it's good) from the CF-Root 4.2 kernel on the KI3 ROM. Tried Ninph 2.0.5 and 2.1.3 as well as RageMod and SiyahKernel but CF-Root 4.2 seems to really shine when the phone is sleeping, only used 1% in 7 hours last night while I was sleeping. Only thing I miss using CF-Root is the lack of BLN.
Been running my GS2 with Skype, Viber, WidgetLocker, number of widgets on the home screen, Tasker with like 15 profiles, Wifi, GPS and having about 4-5 hours of screen time it'll last about 25-30 hours.

[mankind_me]

Yeah, I'm using ninph 2.1.3 so that might be it, thanks for the tip.

If you love pretty interface then yes
I switched to MIUI from CM7 because of pretty interface, and easy theme customization
