Bye Bye Nexus S...

Hey guys,
This is me saying Good bye, for now. I am retiring my Nexus S as of today. I have given it to my sister. It has been a good run over here. I had flashed every rom at least once. The rom I ended off with and given to my sister is the latest CM nightly. But like I said, I may be back (if she wants anything else).
There are many people who I want to thank and some I forgot the name, so
THANK YOU, - to whoever had ever helped me with anything.
The reason why I am moving on is because, I just wanted the Galaxy Nexus. I am mobilicity, so there are only a few amount of phones I like. The GNex seems like a good pick. I bought it, but then returned it the day after because it had lots of signal issues. NOw, i could have stayed with my NS but i decided just to get a new phone for the hell of it. The phone i got:
HTC Amaze 4G (see you in their forums..)
It is a very good phone and it works on mobilicity so i picked it. I bought the phone second hand and it was already pre rooted and is running beastmod v.2.3.0 Now, my goal now is to update the phone to ICS.
AGain, I would really miss you guys (I may be floating around an reading, but may not post)
Bye

I've heard good things about the Amaze. Sometimes ya just gotta move on. Congrats on the new toy!

Bye and enjoy your new phone

Goodbye Desire HD, what phone now ?????

Hi guys, what recommendations do you have for my next phone.
I have 2 in mind...
Samsung Galaxy III - blk
or
Galaxy nexus - less powerfull but most people seem to recommend not sure why ?
Will never get a Iphone as there OS is ****. im all about the customization factor and new roms coming out and in the future that will be compatible ect.
Any recommendations ? and could you explain why you recommend ect.
I will be ordering the phone tonight so i need some quick replys if possible cheers.
as i sold my desire hd for £120 lol

If you had posted this before selling your Desire HD I would have said to wait for the new Nexus which will most likely appear around November time. However seeing as you have already sold it, I would personally go for the Galaxy Nexus. People recommend it because of the immense support available for it, both official and on XDA. The main reason why it is being recommended now is because of the Jelly Bean oficial update which made the overall daily user experience better than the new top spec phones ie the HTC One X and Galaxy S3, Officially it should receive every update for a good few major revisions and on XDA there is huge development work for it. Development will still remain strong for it after the new Nexus comes out judging by the developer (and Google) support for the Nexus S.
Personally if I was in your situation I would go for a Galaxy Nexus now because the day to day use performance will be superb with JellyBean and I would possibly sell it when the new Nexus comes out to go for that.
EDIT: But be sure that once the new Nexus gets announced, the resale price of the Galaxy Nexus will drop substantially. Just something to keep in mind when you make your decision.

I couldnt wait lol so i ordered a samsun galaxy III im sure it will keep me happy after my awesome dhd.

S III is the right choice. Galaxy Nexus is getting the updates first, true but it's hardware is already outdated. S III has a healthy community already so you won't be left behind at all.

I have a Galaxy s3 right now and I can say that it is the most boring phone in the universe!
It is so fast that you don't need custom ROMs on it! It is the best in the smartphone galaxy right now! It can do anything you throw at it! This thing is even faster than some netbooks! (ok! all of them)
A friend of mine have the Galaxy Nexus. It is a beautiful and really well build device and with Android 4.1.1 it runs almost as fast as the SGS3!
If you like the standard Android interface and to be one of the first people to get the new updates, this is the phone for you!
So what you need to decide is:
1. Price! The SGS3 is the most expensive smartphone now!
2. Software support! The GN is supported by Google
3. Storage! The SGS3 have MicroSD slot but the GN doesn't
4. Multimedia support! There is no other Android device in the universe that has more codecs supported than the SGS3!!!
There are maybe more deciding factors but you get the point!

You made the right decision!

Yes the Samsung galaxy SIII is the right choice right now.

Well i recommend SONY Xperia S.
Nice screen
cheap for high end device
fast,all games work perfectly!
A$$ load of memory 25,88 GB i made it to 26,00 GB so that is enough
ICS+ JELLYBEAN IN 2013 SUMMER
GOOD battery life compared to desire hd.
looks good
Camera is better than all competition with 12,1mpix! i reviewed agaist iphone 4s and others... so i know that, gotta know howto photography. SO GREAT CAMERA!
good loud speaker.
PLays all videos, if not then DICE player will....
CONS, not so ergonomic Square brick. non removable battery Thats all...

I'd definitely say the Galaxy S3, can't really be beaten at the moment, imo.

HTC One S is awesome worth a try i like it even better than the One X

The main thing I'll be looking for on my next phone will be better battery life. I'm sure everyone wants more, but my DHD is as good as it's been lately (ARHD 6.3.3), and last night I went out at around 4pm with 90%, and at about 10pm I was at 29% and I was actually thinking I should head home because my phone would die out. I used it for texting, taking a few photos... It's just frustrating.
I wonder how a phone with a 4.8" screen actually does on battery in real life usage.

One X is amazing device

I'm in the same boat as you and out of the 2 I'm thinking of ( Same as you ) the S3 is looking to be my choice. One thing to watch price wise is what storage capacity is the phone. CPW have the S3 for £549.95 + £10 payg card but dont state is the 16gb, 32gb or 64gb model. I like CPW 'cause all their phones are unlocked even if you buy on contract

uselles thread you should have searched to find there is already a thread discussing what your thread is doing, search next time!
thread should be closed

Why give up on DHD???
it still have a good life span.....i would wait to go out right now and get my self a new phone!!!
2 bad that Lord K is shutting down Hes Ice Cold Rom....but i wend in on the Jellybean thread and gave the Unofficial CM10 a shot....and tell U the truth.....all though still in Beta it works great!!.....almost all my apps from ICS Ice cold works..... except the viber app that crashes....My Bluetooth, wifi, cam, gps works just great.....in fact my gps works even better now....before i had to copy some gps files manually into root every time there was a new nightly build.....now it just maxes out on satellites and works great with my sygic app.
And the install of the Jelly rom wend smoothly....into to recovery, clear cashe partition, clean delvig, clear battstats, install the rom , install the jelly gabbs and away it wend......
So guys.....give it a try...and wait at least until 2k13 to look for a new device.....U would be amazed how great the unofficial CM10 Jelly rom works with Ure DHD

Goodbye Thread for GT540 users

Well guys, our device isn't getting any younger, and many of us have got new devices. In order to keep the forums cleaner this thread is meant for saying goodbye.
I've got a Nexus S, but I still have GT540 lying around, I just want to say thanks to our devs for making our device such a wonderful and interesting experience, also I want to thank everyone who helped me and answered my mostly stupid questions. I'll still visit GT540 forums but probably less often.
Again, thanks everybody!!!

Odlicna promena, nek te sluzi bolje nego gt540.

thanks for this thread and will be leaving soon since i will be getting my galaxy note 2

Guys i got my Xperia U and its wonderfoul phone
I will be here till the end i supose,i will never leave this community.
There is many good people but i dont want to add their names/nicks here cause the list would be very,very long
Thank you all!

Yeah, you guys can really make the goodbye part. Especially smiley. Im such a noob at that.. look at my cold goodbye post.. Anyways, both of you have fun with your new phones!

today i received my new phone.. galaxy nexus.
As i have not much time these days it'll be unrooted for now
But my gt540 is still working and thats why i will not leave this forum. i'm so happy to be a part of it and i'm proud of this little piece of plastic!
shipped with 1.6 and now bumped up to 4.1 (its awesome on gnex) and completely new built kernels .. there are not many phones out there with such a fantastic support for 2-3 years old phones. I want to say thanks to everybody developing and testing and contributing and spamming :cyclops: big thanks goes to grift and our developers, especially miroslav, your awesome work made my phone usable. I'll continue using your ROMs, they're the best.
You guys can always contact me and i'll always visit this forum!

Goodbye too
I say goodbye to the community GT540 too. I bought a Galaxy S i9000. So thanks to all the developers who keep this device alive.
I didnt want to create a new topic, so I wrote it here

hi guys,
bought a LG Optimus 2x ...
last rom i flashed to gt540 was miro's last AOSP because there is no need for swap (and an sd-card) and its stable and fast...
But know he has also left so its time to change ...
I'll randomly look into this forum, but for now I'll molest the devs in Optimus 2x-Thread
Goodbye!!!

Bye man

i got my HTC One V a few months ago. just gave my GT540 away to charity (screen was broken for the 4th time anyways , and couldnt get the motivation to fix it) still look in these forums from time to time, for nostalgia purposes i guess goodbye to you all and it's been a great 3 years

After a long time away i decided to stop in here for a while. The gt540 was my first android phone, in fact it was my first smart phone. Since then i have had galaxy s, galaxy s2, desire hd, hd2, iphone 4, 4s and 5.... In no particular order.
Learning how to root and install roms were all part of the fun and learning. It was great being part of this community.
And now i must say..... Goodbye

Goodbye if you have a little time give this old thread a short stroll

Farewell dear friends, I changed my phone with a clone dell'S3, I had fun with you and hope to meet again one day. With some of you there have been controversies, but I love you and I appreciate the work you have done for this phone, I will not forget! Thanks for everything .. bye!

The Official Goodbye thread (sold your tab, etc)

Well guess I'll start this one. I am selling my tablet and buying a Nexus 7.
I've put it on Craigslist for $150 firm. I will miss the sd slot. Guess I will put my 32gb card in my note. This is a great community here and I love the official cm support but the Nexus has better. (Support, not community )
If I could just get people to not back out of deals.

Just signed up for E-bay and hoping to get rid of my tab A.S.A.P n get me some A.O.K.P .....on a nice new shiny Nexus 7.
Selling for £100 (Paid £199 for it) and will be getting the 32GB WiFi only Nexus for £199...Yup same price as i paid for my SGT2 7~ P3110
The P3110 isnt a bad Tab , Just the Nexus 7 has more to offer and will have lots more coming its way this year. I'm really tempted to keep both, but do I need them both.
Anyone in London wants a cheap tab PM me lol. Be around for a week or two I guess ?
Its been fun :laugh:

I would miss the IR blaster

Yeesh!
Scottx and Sean ..... sad to see two of our early and active tab users go. However, I cannot negate your feelings. I myself have been contemplating making this move as I use a galaxy nexus and to me , nothing beats vanilla android.
However , looking at the random hardware issues ( screen lift, sound etc) that people have been posting on the nexus 7 forum...I was not sure if it was worth the gamble. Am pretty sure Asus got their act together...but again...my head says stick with this. And am trying to convince myself that 6 more months and the next nexus tab may land ...
In Any case... Nexus 7 is the best bang for the Buck! It'll be fun.
Have a great life and thanks for sharing and assisting others.
CHEERS!!!

Thanks for the kind words , means a lot
I really do like this tab and have enjoyed watching the development of this tab all the way. Testing out the ROMS all the devs have supplied for us , all the way from CM9 , CM10 , Romswells deodexed stock flavours ( fantastic work),The darkly delicious Baked ROMs and the awesome AOKP builds. Flashing stuff literally every day , customizing it and posting screens. Helping people out when I could was and still is fun.
Personally I just feel that I'm missing out on stuff that the Nexus has to offer, Being addicted to Android comes at a cost lol. I may even keep the tab and use it as a digital photo frame or get a dock and use it as an alarm clock so something. I have had so much fun using this tab and I would miss it in a way. The forum is one of the better ones on XDA for sure and has some great users and devs.
I thank and salute you all. Happy flashing :laugh:

Hope you guys have better luck with the Nexus than I did. That was the biggest piece of crap I've ever owned. To compound the problem I talked my son into getting one soon after I did and now he's having the same problems I'm had. I practically gave mine away just so I wouldn't have to look at it any longer. I bet I turned the damn thing on 50 times a day after it would just shut down for no reason. Good Luck.

I traded my gt2 even up for a mint condition galaxy nexus gsm international version.
Now I'm selling the note and getting another tablet.
I miss it already though.
Goodbye guys. Thanks for the great times and chat. Take good care of that screenshot thread I made

WOW see you later scotty bro.That man was and still is a corner stone of this forum. Helped me out on things many, many times and gave us all inspiration customizing. Not to mention he introduced us to AOKP , trolled noobs and was a general good guy. Oh and a lil thread about screen shots lol
The only good thing is , we are all still XDA family and will cross paths again in the main forums :good:

Thanks man for the kind words. It's people like us that make this place what it is.
Loving this gnex. It runs so smooth. Can't wait to get a Nexus 7 to match. If I come across a good deal on another gt2 I'll buy it. I just couldn't pass this trade up. I really feel like I came out ahead on the deal. My tab was still mint even though I had it since May. That guy got a nice tablet. He might show up here. He had rooted the gnex and changed the kernel. I put 01-06-13 CM 10.1 on the tab and I figure he'll want to update it sooner or later.
Anyway. Take care everyone and feel free to pm me if needed!

I have been a Tab 2 user since the week it was released and from the days where we just got root to all the way till the end (until I sold it).... it has been fun! Everyone was so damn helpful and I wanted to say Thank you! I have used other android devices before but this group was different. Super nice, patient and helpful!
Have fun with your tabs fellas! Good luck and be well!

[Q] About to get the Nexus 4.

I can't believe I have been around XDA forum for about a year or so and I consider myself kind of experienced.... (I don't know why I never dared to create an account)
Anyways here's the big deal:
I'm planning on upgrading to a new phone... If I tell you the phone I've had for the last 2 years you will laugh HARD.
(Nokia 100)
Anyways, since Nexus 4 Came out, it has been my dream phone and the one I want to buy for a long time... but here we are, almost a year since it's release and I believe the specs it has would make this phone last for a couple of years more.
My concern is the following.... seing that Nexus 7 (2013) Has been released with these awesome specs and just $30 increase over the Nexus 7 (2012)
Should I wait for the Nexus 4 Upgrade considering they might have one on the works? thus it hasn't been confirmed.

In any case we are almost sure that the new nexus device wont be that expensive, maybe 30 more dollars or 20 than its predecessor so its not a big big deal if you get this one and later you want the new one, if i was you i would get it

I want to hear other opinions too...

buy it.. when they release nexus 5 sell ur nexus for put some $ on it and buy nexus 5 u can enjoy all like this

I have it now since early march and I love this phone. Its so much better than the Galaxy ace I had before lol.
But yeah, I think we will see the new Nexus in october, so I should wait
But maybe thats just me because my parents wont allow me to buy a new phone so quick after the other. (16 years old)
But of you can get the new nexus for just a couple of dollars more I would get the Nexus 4 and sell it when the new one comes out. Or you can use it as a backup phone.

That's kind of what i'm waiting for... but considering I can get it, then sell it and jump into the Next gen is what I have in my mind atm....
It will be a HUGE jump over my current phone....
Nokia 100 (Google it)
I'm not joking... that's my phone for the last two years lmao.
I've had a Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, Nexus 7 too (All of them SOLD)
