Android Thread V4 - Got money? Samsung Galaxy S II. No money? ZTE Blade. - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=faze;32745474]Will the Galaxy S II CM7.1 nightlies work on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch?[/QUOTE] No.

[QUOTE=Robber;32746140]No.[/QUOTE]Are there plans to release a version for the Epic 4G Touch?

What's a good cheap android phone that isn't the ZTE Blade?

Here's another question... In my Gallery, I have two "Wallpapers" folders. One is located at /sdcard/external_sd/Pics/Wallapers, and the other is located at /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Pics/Wallpapers. How is this two seperate folders if the pics are in the same folder? I don't understand why one is in the /mnt directory and one isn't? All of the pics are in the same folder, I checked, but the Gallery says they're not.

Pic 1 is in a different "Wallpapers" Gallery folder than pic 2, but they're both in the Pics/Wallpapers folder on the SD card.

Hm. My phone doesn't recharge when it's connected to my computer but it does when I take the same cable and stick it into the socket on the wall. The hell?

[QUOTE=Ldesu;32747559]Hm. My phone doesn't recharge when it's connected to my computer but it does when I take the same cable and stick it into the socket on the wall. The hell?[/QUOTE]What phone? My SGSII charges [I]slowly[/I] when plugged into my PC.

It's an LG Optimus 2X. And no I haven't tried another USB-port yet (I just immediately tried the socket). I [I]always[/I] recharge my phone with the computer and it's been going reasonably fast until suddenly today it completely stopped recharging at all. It's 95% charged atm so I could try another port right now [editline]12th October 2011[/editline] Oh, I use a mini 4-port USB hub in the front since I got loads of USB stuff and I think it was just overloaded or something since now it's working fine again. Sometimes I've noticed memory sticks also failing to work with this hub when it's full. Might've just been that.

Android is getting Duke 3d

[QUOTE=SSBMX;32748322]Android is getting Duke 3d[/QUOTE] i wonder how the controls are going to be like, and it better not suck

[QUOTE=Robber;32745130]I thought everything was cheaper in Russia? A SGSII costs <700$ and a Nexus S <350$ off contract here and they're both free on contract.[/QUOTE]The only thing actually cheaper in Russia is video games.

Just wondering, how are HTC Evo's (US only) so cheap? And if I buy one that is on Spirit will I be able to unlock it so it works in the UK on any network?

[QUOTE=hoot37;32749854]Just wondering, how are HTC Evo's (US only) so cheap? And if I buy one that is on Spirit will I be able to unlock it so it works in the UK on any network?[/QUOTE] They aren't cheap at all. You'll have to pay for a (by European standards) extremely expensive contract. Also it's a CMDA phone so you can't use it anywhere but in the US. Someone please correct me (if I'm wrong) since I'm not American.

Nevermind, it doesnt have a sim card slot. Thanks mate.

is the xperia play possable to root/mod?

Well, my Bionic is gonna be going back to Verizon. I had it with this piece of crap. I'll use my good old OG Droid till the new Nexus comes out.

Well looks like Apple was [URL="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-10-13/samsung-tablets-ruling/3569738"]successful[/URL] in my little corner of the world, fuck, time to import.

Have to admit I've always avoided Mobicity since everything they had in the past I wanted was massively overpriced, but that 3G version price is rather nice.

[QUOTE=godlike;32752761]is the xperia play possable to root/mod?[/QUOTE] Yes, but you'll have to unlock the bootloader thus voiding your warrenty.
