WOOT - I am back.... Galaxy Tab / Android BBQ - Vibrant General

Just kidding... I am still MIA, no Vibrant... still trying to cope with getting the Galaxy S 4G as a replacement. Hope all is well in the Vibrant world.
I had two quick things I wanted to point out:
1 - woot.com has the Galaxy Tab 10.1 refurb for $325 shipped. You all know Cyanogen works at Samsung and he has already mentioned CM9 would drop for it soon. A great deal in my opinion.
2 - @ACSyndicate mentioned having an East Coast BBQ (like Austin). I lobbied for Raleigh NC as the ideal location, on May 12th. I hope all of you guys can come... it would be cool to meet you guys. I got the ball rolling on the plans, and now the ACS team is finalizing everything. I can say it will be an amazing time.
Feel free to follow me (@CallipH) or ACS (@ACSyndicate) for more BBQ information. In fact, I'd appreciate it (a favor if you will) if you would send ACS a tweet saying you want more BBQ details!
Alright, back to the dungeon I call the SGS4G section.... hit up woot, great deal today in my opinion.

Why not try getting a vibrant on Swappa, technically speaking the SGS 4g is worth more than the vibrant so you should be able to buy a vibrant and sell the SGS 4g and still come out ahead.

Honest answer.... waiting on the Galaxy Nexus. That phone is a beast.

I have a feeling that when Galaxy S2 gets ICS, that will be a real beast. Initial reviews of galaxy nexus are bit disappointing in terms of speed and battery life. Display is a different story though.

While the vibrant is a very nice device, I don't think it's wise to buy one at a time like this. Unless money is a problem, get the SGSII or wait for the nexus.

Ahwww... And you had me all excited...

Man, tough crowd... I alert you guys of a big discount on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the upcoming Android BBQ and someone takes the time to rate the thread 1 star. Admittedly this did not belong here, but I thought some of you would be interested since that Samsung tablet is so nice/familiar.
Back to the SGS4G/Tab forums.

I hate it when people do that. Go and rate a thread 1 star, when really the OP is being helpful. Just rated the thread five stars.

Is the Vibrant 4G pretty similar? Does the GPS work and did it come with a 16gb card? Have you tried an of the ROM's?
I've been thinking about turning mine in because the charging port is flaky and the phone randomly shuts off but I'm not sure about the phone. I'd really prefer a sensation but that's more of an upgrade.

Nexus S Pictures

Also coming out for T-Mobile, made by Samsung. The newest Nexus?
http://an.droid-life.com/2010/11/11/first-real-photos-of-samsung-nexus-s-appear/
what do you guys think?
I'm not a fan of Samsung, but their hardware in the Galaxy S is awesome, and with Google's vanilla.... it could be gold, pending GPS fixes and whatnot.
let me see... everything the samsung vibrant should of had but failed to include... so that 6 mos later repackage and call it nexus s? typical samsung
Anyone know the off contract price? I wonder if its going to have dev support like the nexus 1.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
hmm still within my remorse period... Theres a whole lot plastic going on right there but the internals and 2.3 gingerbread is hard to pass up. That and it should be the new developer phone makes this a pretty good buy but is it worth return the G2 for?
yeah I'm wondering about that too... Nexus S or G2?
I like the internals of the Nexus S but the externals of the G2... not sure I wanna pay ~$500+ for a plastic phone
No thanks. Samsung will not receive not one penny from me.

^ yea me either,
Looks like if it fell it would burst into a ton of pieces...
And those of us that bought the Vibrant/Galaxy S hoping it would/could have been this phone...
I gave my vibrant to the wife and personally went to G2. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to get another phone, the "Nexus3" will be out and HTC will be the manufacturer.

I wouldn't be surprised if Motorola was the next Nexus's manufacturer lol
It is likely I will buy this instead of a Galaxy Tab. Anyway, I have a Vibrator, G2, and MyTouch 4G. Actually selling the G2 and keeping the other two. Why you might ask? I wanted the extra RAM in the MyTouch, G2 was a bit bulky for my tastes, although the keyboard was pretty sweet.
The truth was I needed to sell one either the Vibrator or the G2 and the G2 brought more cash so that was the one I chose to sell. Even though I much rather would have kept it instead of the Vibrant.
It's cool CM will be on MyTouch 4G soon enough!
after samsung moment, i realized never again with samsung. such beautiful phones with potentials they make, yet they fail to give a damn about their phones, also that phone does look like 1 drop results to epic destruction

We appreciate efforts to answer our complaints with Samsung, but adding teasers about a "Huge Announcement " after 6 months of corporate neglect....... does not instill a "Warm and Fuzzy"..........I am pretty sure you understand our unhappiness with the Treatment we have Received from Samsung... et al......
It's like a Joke...... even Boost mobile and Metro pay as you go phones get 2.2 updates long before we do...........
But we are open to the MAGNANIMOUS OFFERING that is about to be bestowed on us and wait patiently for its arrival

True, Krylon did say he is legit, but still I have my doubts. I'm all for good news, not broken promises, or neglect.
All XDA Users Rock!!
If Kry says he's legit, he's legit. I wanna throw my guess to the big announcement-I think that they will not only release source but will have Vanilla android builds for those not wanting to wait for Touchwiz customizations (w/bloat obviously).
Gingerbread?
Now THAT would be an announcement.
One can dream.
Cant wait for the announcement, dont wanna get my hopes up but I hope it has to do with our favorite 's' word.
Again its funny and embarassing to see xda members direct thier complaints at you like you're some magic man that will end the nights they cry themselves to sleep over Samsung's mobile strategy. We appologize for them.
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA app, Bionix-v 1.21
I am a bit skeptical about this announcement since user complaints seem to have fallen on deaf ears for a number of months. However, I hope this will really be something substantial that will sway myself and many other users towards purchasing samsung phones again instead of holding up #neveragain signs. If samsung would be willing to fix my GPS on my vibrant that would be amazing.

An announcement as to if and when T-Mobile gets a galaxy 2 is what I would like to know. The vibrant 4g is the phone the vibrant should have been out of the gate 6 months ago but I think that was probably tmobiles decision. We probably could have had the international version if tmobile had asked for it. My concern is that if they are getting the 4g version vibrant at the end of this month then its going to be a fairly long time if ever that we get the full featured galaxy 2.

No, I still like my epic. But, I'm bringing my wife over to sprint and I need to find her a phone to make her get rid of her iphone.
If I had a full upgrade I'd consider it, otherwise I'll be rocking my Epic until next summer.
I don't know about you guys, but that phone looks pretty sexy.
At least sexier than my Epic..
I'm thinking about it but my Epic + physical keyboard + Syndicate Frozen 1.2 with keyboard fix is sooo difficult to walk away from. And if a GB 2.3 were to get tossed into Mystery's ACS freezer it will be even harder to ditch the Epic
I'm already starting to miss my epic...

Id switch if I could do it cheaply. I am a year in almost of the 2 year with my Epic. If I could upgrade for like a hundred dollars I would in a heartbeat. Not paying 600 or more for this phone though out of pocket.
Hm there might be two variants of the gs2 one with sammys processor and the other with the tegra 2, any chance they hit the drawing board again with the "epic 2" in mind as one of those variants? Considering someone did a device search and came back with "D710" ?
Just a theory, seem valid? Lol

well, you might be in luck then...
check out my recent post from an old thread
I'm not quite at my 12 month point yet and got an early upgrade 'scheduled' for when i hit that mark..
now the new phone might be "WiThin" reach (pun intended)
WiThin will not have Tegra! It has Mali GPU and Tegra phones have GeForce GPU. I guess that means SPH-D710 is WiThin. Amazing that on Nenamark, the top 8 phones are GSII. BTW here's the link
http://nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2&device_id=593
It's SPH so it's definitely sprint and it's got Mali so its probably the GSII and performs like the other ones do on the test. Also, it got WIFI certified in May if that means anything.

Big mistake I think. If she loves her iPhone she will not like switching to an android phone. Goodluck to you sir!
I've heard early August, which would be one year after the Epic release but yeah, I'm on that phone when it's available. Will definitely pre order too

Its worth it :thumbup: i will be officially retiring my evo at the end of the month. I just upgraded my main line to the gs3 10 mins ago and getting the note2 dec 1. My dad just bought one off contract and gave me the gs3 so I can use my upgrade on a note2 in December. That is one bad phone, its fast has a bbs (big beautiful screen) and did i mention its fast like 0 lag when multitasking in dual screen mode. Definitely worth the upgrade especially coming from the evo you wont be disappointed

I'm sure I am not alone in saying that my Evo is serving its purpose as a wifi music player. I keep mine at work with the latest stock rooted ROM. I still love Sense, if it were GSM I would probably swap it with my Nexus S 4G every now and then.
Good bye, I have the Note 2 now. I loved my EVO though and although the screen is cracked I don't want to rid myself of the thing. Sprint is offering me $38 worth of credit for it though so eventually I will mail it in.

you got a point!!!! BWAHAHAHA!
I love my EVO and is sad that is going out like this and I can't upgrade yet since I got it last summer. I would love to use the GS3 but it will cost me an arm and a leg to get it now so is EVO OG till the very end! Hey, I don't feel bad about old phones, they still can perform. I have a bricked G1 that I might JTAG since no one here "knows" how to do it, but they gladly will get it out of my hands for free (really?) So I am not giving that one up and I would love to see it running Donut again. As far as this EVO, it might finish in my son or daughter's hand.
Wirefly FINALLY has the G-Note for $249.50

It's been a fun 2 years...

...but it's time for another adventure! I've used my upgrade and purchased a Samsung Galaxy S III.
What can I say, this phone is a BEAST! I didn't think I would like TouchWiz but I do now. Going to miss the Sense UI (port maybe, hmmm)
I've already rooted the phone and it was hella easy! Haven't tried any ROMs yet (being picky) but I will soon enough. I got CWM and I'm missing drob's "superwipe" I gotta get him to show me how I could implement it to the SG3.
I'll still be coming around here and check out the development plus you guys are the best, hands down. Cool people and easy going. I could already feel the tensions and egos at the SG3 forums and I've only posted once so far...
Maybe I'll see some of you sooner than later at the other forum. Hit me up then...
Good luck to everything...

They have the EVO 4G LTE at BestBuy for $99 with a new contract. But I called Sprint out of curiosity. They said they would match that, plus waive activation if I did it through their site. With Free Two Day Shipping. Just throwing it out there .

It would be great to have you come on board with the SG3. Coming Black Friday, the SG3 is sold for only $50!!!
I could see it already... SUPREME GALAXY!!!
Hey Thronnos, CRYSTAL2 looks hella good on the SG3. Imagine flashing a whole bunch of AOSP or AOKP with Crystal2 themed. Ridiculous...

Tempting me to jump on board the Samsung bandwagon. And I've looked at the new crystal and I love it. He completely brought it in line with Holo. It's soo sexy
Shifted from the Twilight Zone

GN2 is Quad core. Evo LTE is not. Droid DNA is quad core but Verizon.
Don't know how I feel about HTC anymore. GN2 was really nice to play with at the store.
I am leaning toward the GN2 as well or even the GS3, but the quad core is the bigest selling point.

The EVO 4G LTE has had some major issues locking onto and maintaining LTE signals. Sprint and HTC are being lazy about fixing it properly. The Galaxy S3 is better.

Is that a Sprint or HTC issue though?

Probably an HTC issue, but we aren't 100% sure. And quite a few people have exchanged their EVO LTE's out for GS III's as a result.

This is so true bec. I hear it all the time from my wife (who owns a Evo lte) on how her signal goes from 4g-3g-1x constantly. Also she is having problems connecting to Wi-Fi.

It's a shame, because the EVO LTE is a nice phone. Played with a couple in a few different Sprint stores.
Is anyone staying with the HTC Evo Shift? Or is this phone too obsolete?

Definitely not obsolete yet, but some of the new phones just blow it out of the water... The Shift can run JB which is the newest version of Android so nobody can say its obsolete til it can't handle the latest version of Android, lack of dev support is a little different story... But there still are a few of us trying to keep you guys supplied with new ROMs. When my contract is up in June I am getting a QuadCore with LTE even if I have to go with Verizon. I have had my eye on the Optimus G. Quad Core and a 13MP camera? Yes please. The Droid DNA's specs are amazing too. I don't see HTC coming out with something to match either one in the next 6 months but I'm definitely not going with Samsuck. If there is nothing from HTC worth getting its gonna be LG or Motorola. Ok rant done.

Don't know if you've notice all the Roms that are coming out on a weekly basis for the shift, pretty obvious this phone is still going strong.
I may have moved on to a new phone but my shift is still in use for other purposes.
