Yeah! Although I'll make a backup now on the Nexus S 4g so I wont have to Redl all my roms.
Shouldn't they be on your computer anyways
When I got my second galaxy tab I just moved the files that took me 4 hours to download (when I did download them) (f***you optimum) and my app backup from my backup root and I was good

Well that sucks. I've only had my contract for less than a year. Got my epic at release. I wanna jump ship to a phone with a larger dev community. Or at least a phone that has a functioning CM -__-

yea im waiting on the nexus prime .. should be worth the wait
Eh, even if I could renew, I don't think I'd leave my epic. I love the size, love the keyboard, love everything about it. I think I'd pass on the Nexus.
I'm passing on all phones till next year. I'm more than happy with my epic. When they have the next great leap in features is when ill get a new phone unless I break the screen again then maybe sooner
Early 2012 is said to have Quad-Core phones, Quad-Core tablets in Fall 2011.
Definitely waiting for some quad-core action.
if it was 50 bucks no upgrade or service contract id buy it..
but im waiting for the next nexus or the quad core phones..

Because SamSprint will deliver timely updates for the S2? After the Moment and the Epic, I think I'm going to bet on a Nexus next time. I'd rather have timely updates than better hardware specs. The Nexus S 4G specs are more than fine for what I use my phone for and would certainly get me through two more years.

im the same way.. im tired of having to be at the will of carrier and phone makers for my updates. im defiantly getting a nexus device as my next device. i was going to hold out for the nexus prime. but seeing as quad core is at early 2012 , i might just hold off or get the prime and sell it for the quad core device.
I just got a Nexus for my dad. Yay!
I got my nexus s from sprint at $100. Now i contacted sprint today and they credited me the difference.

Update 4/2/12: looks like the lg viper 4/15 followed by the nexus 4/22
http://www.androidauthority.com/sprint-galaxy-nexus-4g-lg-viper-4g-release-date-70751/
suprisingly, i havent seen much in the forums about this, so i figured i would start a discussion (if anyone feels like discussing).. April 15th apparently is the date for the Gnex to show up on sprint.. What are my fellow epic user's thoughts? too little too late? I personally have had an upgrade since december burning a hole in my pocket..

Its been my plans since I first saw the leaked advertisement. I'm not waiting three or four more months for a quadcore... ill catch em next upgrade... my laptop barely has a quadcore... =]. It may be foolish but I want a google phone not a unreliable samsung phone. =P just my thoughts, least I know if android 5.0 is released my phone will receive it... all newer android versions are being developed on the OMAP processor.. so I'm getting it release date. Had an upgrade for almost a year now I've waited enough.

Sammy is actually doing a good job with the gs2 firmware updates
Nexus phones are nice but is it really worth it
Pretty soon there will be a gs3 and I'm pretty sure they are going to launch it over the world at once before September or maybe during September

I just saw that last night! Lol
Sooo...I sent this to BGR, but they wouldn't run it without me handing over the proof, but that's not something I'm willing to do, so I'll reiterate here:
Our Playbook that came out on Wednesday shows two interesting things in the Calendar of upcoming things:
On the 12th of April, it's listed that Planogram materials (merchandise and advertising stuff) for a 4/15 launch will be arriving in stores. On the 15th, it lists that all POG materials need to be deployed by store opening.
The Playbook never mentions what is launching on the 15th, but they very conveniently slipped the dates in there without saying anything. Considering the galaxy nexus data storm contest ends on the 16th, its safe to say that the 15th can be confirmed as the release date for the galaxy nexus.

there is no real point, in getting it. the updates still have to go sprint sense its an cdma phone. so its still going to slow in getting updates. and big red's one hasnt gotten updated either. i would just wait for something better to come long.

I think it (well for me anyway) depends on the specs. If they're the same as the GNex on VZW, I'll more than likely pass. However, if they're slightly upgraded, then I may take a serious look at it. I too have had an upgrade for about 13 months now, so I'm just waiting on either the GNex or the SGSIII.

Just Saturdays I think, to replace the regular anime block. I wish they would have just moved the reg .anime block to Friday and have Toonami on Saturday because I like Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Durarara!!, and Cowboy Bebop to much =/ although Gundam Wing, Dragon Ball Z and Tom 3.0 make up for it.
Also worth looking at
Toonami Wiki said:
April Fool's Day 2012
On April 1, 2012, just past Toonami's 15th anniversary, Adult Swim replaced itself with the third version of Toonami, [6] featuring Tom 3.0, initially disguised as an airing of Tommy Wiseau's The Room. The channel guide did not reflect the changes, as is typical of Adult Swim's April Fools' jokes. It is still unclear whether this was a permanent change or merely a stung for April Fool's Day. Several classic shows were aired from the original lineup, with a special focus on climactic episodes, season finales, or final episodes. The shows, order aired, and episodes: Dragon Ball Z #191, Gundam Wing #10, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki #19, Outlaw Star #25, Big O #1, Yu Yu Hakusho #110, Blue Submarine #6 #1, Trigun #23, the original Astro Boy #1, and Gigantor #1. [7] Tom also did a brand new bumper for the new episode of Bleach, plus a next episode preview. Some of the episodes shown were never broadcast on the original Toonami.
The revival featured original bumps performed by Steven Blum as Tom, and the classic promo, Dreams. There was an original game review of Mass Effect 3, giving the game an 8.5/10 while criticizing the ending for being "weak." Also done were original advertisements for DVDs of each of the animes shown in a more adult tone, such as Tom referring to the song "99 Problems" when discussing the Tenchi Muyo! DVD, encouraging the viewer to enjoy more nudity and violence with the Outlaw Star DVD, and describing the Big O DVD release with "Our giant robot can beat the crap out of your giant robot."

I've been checking out the development for ROMs for the Samsung galaxy tab two recently, looks like there's a lot of work going on over there.
Has anyone here messed with one in person? Or is or anyone here that is gotten rid of their OG galaxy tab to go with the new one? If so what are your opinions and thoughts?
I'm thinking about picking one up at Costco to screw around with it to replace my current one, but I'm not seeing Sbradymobiles mods, and that makes me a sad panda. Lol
I'm needing large icons for my usage in my car, and Sbradymobiles mods make the og tab work pretty good a an in dash device.

Don't waste your money. Get a Nexus 7 instead as the specs are way better. Unless your one of those "sdcard slot or its ****" people. If so, by all means waste your money.

Unfortunately the nexus 7 really isn't an option right now. This is an in dash setup in my car.
On my current setup I've got over 18 gigs of music, podcasts, and video.
If a verified method to use external storage and charge at the same time comes around for it, I would probably go with it.

I picked one up yesterday at Costco, 90 day return window so I should have plenty of time to see if it meets my needs.
I'll be running the og tab still, but with development falling off so much, and the numerous bugs I've reported (at 240 dpi), I figured I'd give this one a chance.

Imo there's no reason to not get a child a tablet, it can be a tool for education and reading should you choose it to be. I got my sisters children rattling away on computers when they were still toddlers, I think that technology will be an important part of their lives, and I want them to embrace it early.
I might be a little worried about a child breaking the screen on the tablet though.
I see your point about books and bikes
I have kids zone on my TF101 and both use it for education,both love reading books,eldest uses the pc for home work and is a whizz on word and power point. They have bikes and get plenty of exercise and are.doing very well in school.I see this as a better option for movies music and stuff neither are or will be on facebook or Twitter until at least 14.it's more amedia device for them and web browsing for homework and things Like mosshi monsters

Me personally, and I'm not telling you what to do, computers are just taking over kids lives and they are not knowing how awesome it is to be outside like we all were when we were kids.
But movies are a blast to watch if you are camping with them. And who knows, books in school could all be headed towards PDF formats anyways.

Do it mate.
My 9 year old son got a tab as well and he uses it only if he's done playing outside with his friends. He is not that into gadget but still it's ok he have one and got something to use whenever he feels like. So it's still depends on the kids if they want to spend more or less time with the tab.
Tapatalked from my N7
Yes they would definitely love it if they also got a few games on it too hehe. You could get groove IP on it and also use it as a phone considering your in the US or CANADA region. There are any benefits to it more than just for entertainment. The ultimate decision of how your kids play with their toys is yours though.
Hmm isn't there a more kid friendly tablet that has the same exact specs as the N7 but has a SD card slot and outer wear. Also has root and gapps. Might be a better alternative.

Damn.. Just a bit higher resolution and that thing beats out the N7
Hi, I got a Nexus 7 last December and loved it. Please note the passed tense because a month ago, a friend sat on my Nexus 7 and the screen cracked.
I have since been planning on buying a new screen on eBay for about $100. However, recently I have been hearing about the leaked specs of the next gen Nexus 7.
What I am wondering is if I should save up more money for the new one and just trash the old tablet with my friends scrawny butt imprinted in glass, or just fix it because the next gen isn't worth it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts because I can't decide.
Not to be a ****, but doesn't your friend have insurance that could refund that $100? It's normal here to be insured for breaking other people's stuff.

Yeah, that could work. Probably could get 50-100 for the cracked one, more if I include things like my case (probably won't fit the new one by my guess)
Sell them separate. Will take more time. But more money. If you want a quick 100 sell it as a whole.

Looking for the quick 100, I really miss having a tablet. :'( Also it has been rumored that the base model of the next gen will only be $229 (current gen 199) so I will have most of the tablet paid for by the time it comes out. I think I've made my decision, thanks everyone
