Leaving for Galaxy Note!...

Hey guys, so I got an amazing deal that i just can't pass up: int'l note plus $25 for my white tmo gs2. I just have some questions though.
Do you guys think that it is worth it. not the value (i kno its a great deal) btu i'm talking performance.
Will i get 4g or just edge?
Thanks for your help

You'll only get edge until T-Mobile refarms the 1900MHz band. There's a dev called bedwa who is working on unlocking the 1700MHz band. Yes, it has it but Samsung has it locked up. The phone has the same modem as the Galaxy Nexus which is pentaband.

I personally think the phone is a bit too big but not a bad upgrade. I would do it for only $25 but no edge.

I think he's getting 25 so he's coming up even more! I would sell it and get the gs2 again lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Yep I'm getting the $25. I'd like to hear more about the band unlcok thing. Anyone have more info on that? The main thing I am excited for though is that it has like 5 ics roms

Wish I could. I would do it in a heart beat if I had that offer. I wish it was on T-Mobile.

If this works out, I'll most likely ditch the Galaxy Nexus. There's plenty of people who'll call foul for wanting to move over to an "inferior" device but I'd love more screen real estate with increased battery life.

I have both the t989 sgs2 and the international note on T-Mobile. You will most definitely get edge speeds. I suggest u switch to at&t or a prepaid carrier who uses at&t network such as straight talk or red pocket mobile

So lucky! I would switch to the nexus if it were on T-Mobile.. were unlucky.

If I dont like the note, then I will probably trade it in Craigslist for gnex plus cash. But the note has the exynos chip set at 1.4 ghz while the nexus is ti omap at 1.2 I have used the nexus and found it to be quite laggy and the screen did nit look that much bigger than the gs2 I currently have. Plus the note already has ics roms
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Just picked it up and I have to say that I miss the gs2. I got the phone rooted with a from with some bugs so I guess that I will have to put it on stock adlnd then give the phone another chance. Love the screen though
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Theres not much of a difference between our phone and the Note other than the screen. Hardware stuff of course but still running the same stuff.

And 100% likely to get ICS way before the T989.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Way before of course

The only thing stopping me from getting the note is no 4G on tmobile. Once you're used to 4G, there's no used to going back to 56k aka edge

If you were near me I'd consider trading.

I would too, where is he from?

Some guy just figured out how to get 4g working on an att note. There's a thread in the ATT Note forums

Nice, good news

How is Galaxy Nexus so far?

This is my original post about how my N1 died.
Farewell to Nexus One
I am looking for new phone, and I am interested with Galaxy Nexus, as I am a Nexus fanboy.
So, how is Galaxy Nexus so far? How big the upgrade if compared to N1? I don't read any reviews about it yet, and I want to hear some small opinion or review from xda members.
Thanks a lot.

A giant upgrade!

Use the search feature and read existing reviews with 10+ pages. Its a lot more efficient than starting a thread.
You'll get a lot of biased posts as well since...well..you are in the Galaxy Nexus forum.
Its $350 without a contract. I think that's a steal. Get it.

Get the GNex. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Its the best phone out there.

I went from a G1 to N1 to NS to GNex... Each phone has been better than the last.

It's a huge jump from the N1 to the GNex, don't wait any longer.

I had the nexus one and loved it, but switching to the galaxy nexus was the best thing, don't know how I used the screen on the nexus one its tiny, plus you get faster radios, way better camera, a ffc and you can actually play games without the multi touch crapping out or being limited by the Adreno 200 GPU. And last but not least you get [email protected][email protected]!.
Get the galaxy nexus and you won't look back.

Nexus gives you wings?
.. but yeah, N1 to a GN is a HUGE upgrade. Any phone of this generation will be a huge upgrade. A caution of word though, after using Galaxy Nexus... your N1 screen will look like a joke. At least that's what GN did to me to any phone with a screen smaller than 4.5"

Hell, I went from the HTC One X to the GNex and it felt like a massive upgrade. I couldn't imagine going from N1 to GN. Do eeeet.

Get the GN and no mistake.
I'd changed my GN only with the next GN.

A big upgrade that's for sure.

Just use the open VPN for android off the market and you don't need to worry about tun. Just import your openvpn profile. Its nice app as you don't need root. It works on stock.

Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S III?

Hi, I want to buy a new phone and I'm choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and S III. Which one do you recommend? I like how the Nexus looks, and getting updates first. I like the specs in the S III but I'm not a big fan of how it looks and I definitely don't like the TouchWiz UI. Where I live there is not much difference in price. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

What carrier?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

S3 then sell it and buy a nexus and profit (if you are going on contract) i actually had achance to test the s3 and on 4.0.4 it seemed pretty descent ... you could go with the s3 for sure either phone will get huge amount of support and i guess s3 is more future proof on specs so up to you

If on Verizon get the Gnex. If on any other carrier the S3.

Unlocked phones. Where I live carriers do not sell locked phones.

Well only one has the new Jelly Bean.....

That was my reasoning. By the time the s3 gets jelly bean Google will have a new nexus device out with an update. If I was Verizon I would not be happy with googles timing of jellybeans release. Especially with them collaborating on the nexus

Get sgs3 since it is better hardware than nexus. You can change the software but not hardware.
Flash CM10 on sgs3 and you should be good.
I have a galaxy nexus because I bought the unlocked gsm for $350 which is a good deal and use it as a secondary phone

absolutely nothing is stable like stock, especially on phones which don't come with aosp natively ( i.e everything except nexus).

which phone do you like better? list the pros and cons of each device and decide which one you can live with.

Why are you asking us? Let's be honest, you're going to do what you want in the end no matter what we recommend. And this being the nexus forum you already know what your going to hear.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I had the one s. Had a desire HD then got excited and got the s
Hardware wise great.
Screen felt small. Its way to thin. Development is nowhere near the x or older HTC devices.
I have had the x also in between though I had a nexus. Traded in for an x.
Now back on the nexus lol
Be honest its your choice but if your trading go for the x

I wouldn't trade it. The One S is a decent enough phone, but I would never trade my Galaxy Nexus for it.

I wouldn't trade my Gnex for nothing out except the Next Nexus!

I was at the club the other day and my friend was there with his friend! He has an HTC one s, we swapped phones and "played" with them for a few moments. I've ready played with the one S before but his reactions to how smooth and fast my nexus was, was priceless! He also mention how he liked the on screen buttons and size of the phone itself...
Just my little story, if I were EVER Trade for a one S, it would be 250.00 + mint condition One S for my mint condition White nexus....yes I know. Overkill. Lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Answer for these "should I trade" threads are same. Yes. Why? Well we all are Gnex users and we're Gnex users for a reason. Because we love it and it is a best phone in our opinion.
What does that mean? You will get a pretty biased answer, I'm gonna be honest with you.
You should really do a research on the phone and see if you think it'll really fit your life more than Gnex you know? Everyone's opinion is different.

Hell no, after coming from a Nexus you will see all pixels on the One S. I compared my nexus to my friend's one s and noticed all pixels, and see pixels every time now.

Best place for a new/used GSM Galaxy Nexus?

I made a poor poor mistake in buying an unlocked Galaxy S3 when my Galaxy Nexus crapped out on me. I've had it for a week & now its back in the box, as it just doesn't feel "right". I'd happily give up my new GS III for another Galaxy Nexus so I was wondering if anyone knows of any reputable places to get a new/used Nexus at a reasonable price? Unfortunately Craigslist isn't very active in my area, so that's a no-go. Any insight or help would be appreciated!
P.S. I boxed my new GS III so my inbox is open for any type of serious offers

eBay, Craigslist etc.

Op, you might try the classifieds or whatever they call it here on XDA.... Unless I'm thinking of Rootzwiki.

In a one week span I sold VZW Galaxy Nexus, HP Touchpad and Droid Incredible on Swappa and purchased a GSM Galaxy Nexus with no issues at all. Everything is smooth and they are top notch. Don't waste your time at all on eBay or get gangbanged while meeting someone from craigslist.
The prices include the $10 buyers fee so honestly, what you see is what you pay. Couldn't be happier with them.

I appreciate everyones suggestions so far -- To the people PM'ing me: I appreciate your interest in my S3, but I don't appreciate having time wasted - When you tell me your "interested", ask numerous questions & then just disappear, its a massive waste of your & my time. For those that's curious, it's a T-Mobike branded Marble White 16GB S3, however its been fully unlocked to run on & support AT&Ts HSPA+ network also. There's not a much as the smallest imperfection on the phone. Like I said, I'm open to any sensible trade involving a G-Nex, but prior to even Coming, you should already have some definitive idea of what you want to do.
