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

Let's hope Google will throw away MotoBlur and unlock the locked bootloaders.

[hakusaro]

Well that's some news to wake up to. I guess we'll be seeing a lot more developer phones and a lot less blur.

Why wouldn't they ditch Motoblur, its awful.

[Arachnidus]

Guys, I trust I'm not alone in hoping that Google starts pumping out a shitton more Nexus phones.

[editline]15th August 2011[/editline]

And doesn't this mean Motorola is now, in a sense, out of the phone business?

[Jacko2007]

Next Nexus by Motorola?

[QUOTE=nicatronTg;31736658][url=http://www.cyanogenmod.com/]CyanogenMod[/url] is really good.[/QUOTE]

Got this now, looks great! :D

Gah what the hell, all my contacts got wiped from my SIM card!

[Jacko2007]

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;31742974]It was pretty much expected, Each Nexus has been made by a different manufacturer to show off the best they can produce[/QUOTE]

I would like to see what Google would produce without any other manufactures, like a home grown Google product. For example the Nexus One was a recased HTC Desire and the Nexus S is a Galaxy S with a new case. It would be nice to have a completely unique device.

Oh sons of whores, the rumors were true, they've released the SAME phone again, the only difference is that it has ginger, the hardware is the same and you can even flash the Defy+ firmware on the Defy[/QUOTE]

Apple has done that with 4 iPhones now..

[editline]15th August 2011[/editline]

[editline]15th August 2011[/editline]

The iPhone 4 added a much higher resolution screen, much faster hardware, a complete redesign of the exterior and a front facing camera...

[punkrjp]

Pretty much the only good update Apple has ever done.

fuck i hate how broken samsung made android 3.1 on my galaxy tab

fucker locks up when it's at 100% battery life and the wifi driver or whatever its called likes to freeze so i get no wifi and it takes like 10 minutes for the tablet to reset the "driver" so i can use my internet.

and then samsung pulled the touchwiz update for god knows why so i'm stuck with this broken shit.

i installed some touchwiz pre-release rom to fix the wifi and freezing but now everything occasionally force closes and the browser likes to kill itself.
the damn widgets like to lock up to. (FUCK YOU CLOCK WIDGET ITS NOT 5:47 PM ITS 10 AM)

i should have got an HP touchpad since i plan on getting the Pre 3, if it ever exists

[Natrox]

Netherlands just got fucked over in mobile phone rates. No more unlimited internet.

Good thing I ordered my phone last week.

Sense 3.0 is a bit bloated by virtue of the 3D launcher, but everything else is okay.

[QUOTE=Robber;31747853]The iPhone 4 added a much higher resolution screen, much faster hardware, a complete redesign of the exterior and a front facing camera...[/QUOTE]

so it took 4 versions to upgrade hardware that should have been upgraded throughout the versions

[nikomo]

The fuck is going on with my Blade, it claims I have 0% charge on my battery, yet it still works.
For some reason charging it doesn't charge it.

[editline]16th August 2011[/editline]

This shit is getting really fucking old, obviously the cable fucking works since it says "USB connected" but it doesn't charge nnnnnnghhhhhh
And I just took out the battery and it booted into Clockword Recovery with the USB providing power.

Battery stats or your battery's sensor could be messed up. Let it go until it shuts off, then plug it in and wait until the voltage maxes out (assuming it's charging and it just doesn't say it is), then wipe battery stats, unplug and see how the meter acts when you do another full drain/recharge.

I was having the exact same issues and I think it's related to their power management settings in the options, I did a factory reset but afterwards I thought of that and am feeling a bit silly for losing all my data because I didn't think to check that

[MisterM]

Galaxy S II seemed so fast on Stock or maybe Litening/Cognition but by jeebus insanity-ii-cm is ridiculously fast. Now, hoping the battery life is good and I just need a nice lock screen. Sorted.

[nikomo]

Battery magically started charging after I rolled Cyanogenmod back a couple bazillion versions.

We already knew Samsung loved the guys at CyanogenMod, but we didn't think they'd start absorbing parts of its development team. According to Steve Kondik's Facebook page, the Android facade's head sculptor is setting up shop at Samsung Mobile. Sammy's new software engineer told his fans that although his 'side project,' CyanogenMod, is not affiliated with his employer in any way, he will be "working on making Android more awesome." Makes sense, we heard Samsung's phones were looking for a fresh coat of awesome.[/quote]

Oooooo, first they send modders a free Galaxy S II, then they employ one? Lucky duck and good PR.

I am sure in the future you will be able to link it to your account and be able to play it for free if you own Minecraft.

People will use that loophole if they have an alpha account. Sadly I bought Minecraft 2 days after it went into beta :smith:

A bit of news:
[img]http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/image_thumb400.png[/img]
[url=http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/08/16/the-first-miui-phone-mi-onemillet-officially-revealed-in-china-1-5ghz-dual-core-scorpion-and-313-price-tag-blow-us-away/]
The first MIUI Phone has been announced with some beastly specs for a low price[/url]
First and foremost, the MI-ONE, or Millet, sports a whopping 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8260 Scorpion CPU (from the 3rd generation Snapdragon family).
Dissecting the beefy specs further, we find the Adreno220 GPU, 4GB of ROM and 1GB of RAM, a 4" Sharp screen (854x480 - not qHD), 8MP rear camera, and a juicy 1930mAh battery. Did I mention an unlocked bootloader and (duh) MIUI OS, which is currently based on Android 2.3.5?

One of the reasons for Google's purchase of Motorola is that it will bring 17000 patents and 7500 more pending to Google. (Source: i Newspaper)
