What are you gonna do with your next phone? Transfer over all your contacts? LOL.
And then rinse and repeat.
Seriously, what more do you need/want? T989 is super fast, super good GPU, strong battery, dual core GPS, one of the few devices with SAMOLED+, better than the nexus in nearly every way except screen res (and the GNex takes a performance hit because of that).
Ok good luck whatever you decide

Download a new game. I suggest cross fingers.

dead space is/was free on SAMSUNG APPS. YOU ALL MUST TRY IT TO BELIEVE THIS GAME EXISTS ON A PHONE!!! @[email protected]

im getting bored of my gs2 also, im a flashing freak, and the deving is soo slow, we lost all devs actually.

Lol if the Gnex came to tmobile, I probably would be all over it.
Oh btw: DEADSPACE IS AMAZING!!

thanks, got samsung apps working but dead space not there

I had to do a search for it.

Search for it it'll show

It says it's Optimized for Tegra2 and Tegra3 devices so maybe its tegra only for now. All I see are tegra owner reviews.

Project Roadrunner? 4.2

Has anybody heard of this? I did a quick lazy glance here and didn't see it posted so I thought I would. Looks pretty amazing with new features and improving Gnow and improved battery life for Android users. Of course the main concern is in order for us to experience we might have to switch phones or of course wait on our devs to do their amazing work. Thoughts??

To be honest I have no idea if I will but if it's still holding up I might be. Either way I'll probably still own it and use it for a backup! Unless It's lost or breaks I don't replace my phone every year.. I got mine in March which makes it only about 7 months since I first bought it

Lol I know what you mean. But this s2 isn't just any phone, it was built for things beyond what it came with. All I'm saying is if you want this new OS then of course Nexus will be the phone of choice not Samsung and etc. But this phone is good for 2 years in my opinion. I'm also cheap and don't switch phones every few months or every year lol

Your point? We all have to move on at some point. By the time this phone gets 4.2 we'll have some really amazing devices on the market that will make this phone seem like it was from the stone age. Just like this phone makes that HD2 seem like its from the stone age. Idk how people are still using that thing. That snapdragon CPU was a boat compared to other SoCs like hummingbird during its time.

I think my next one will be a nexus.. There should be some nice ones coming out soon..
I was thinking.. I'm sure that the galaxy Nexus is a shoe in to get 4.2 and if it can handle the software I am sure that this phone can too!.. It's unlike that tmobile will put in the resources to update this phone after JB but it might be a slim possibility.. Especially since we will have the option whether or not to have OEM skins

Officially I don't think this phone is getting past ICS. I have high doubts about an official TW JB update for it. Only the international GSII has been officially confirmed. As we all know that phone and every other GSII has the exynos SoC so I wouldn't doubt the others can get it easily. But since we have the s3.. idk.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
And I just wanna state that it's obvious that Google is listening to what people want and trying to add it to software updates! We have all been talking about how nice it would be if we had a choice of AOSP or OEM.. And voila! Google goes ahead and appears to be implementing it!.. This is totally opposite of other mobile operating systems (not naming names) that always hold back the features... This is why I will probably stay loyal to android for a long time!

Amazing... something long overdue IMHO, but better late than never (in terms of the manufacturer bloat/customization thing).
Also... I think I read something about multiple Nexus devices on their way? Very exciting!
Yes I've heard of at least 2 nexus devices!.. An LG nexus device will be released by the end of October..The name Samsung Nexus 2 has been thrown around a bit. and I think there will be one by HTC as well..

[Request/Info] Nexus 4

Yeah I saw the vid earler and the camera does look great but I cannot stop feeling gutted about the hardware. No removable battery no microSdCard. These are the two main things that I look for in a phone. Are we heading down the road of iSheep where we are told to like what we are given?
Yeah, Yeah, I know the general line of the Nexus has certain design traits but would it really of been that difficult to add the above 2 things and swallow up all the S3 users? I know for one I would have got one if...if only! lol!
I know exactly what you are saying, I think its stupid not having SD card slot and no removable battery. What do you do if you run out of space or need a spare battery because you are travelling for work and don't have any way of charging your phone. Its riduculous . But the camera is looking good and keyboard
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Fingers crossed we can get the camera and keyboard ported over!
I would really like to know who does the market research for these phones. I left HTC becuase they ditched removable batteries and cards. I also know 6 other people that did the same. Take a look at Samsungs market now comapred to HTC and you only need a couple of brain cells to figure it out! I just hope that Samsung do not follow suit!
Hopefully Samsung won't... I really don't see the benefits the companies are getting from that apart from needing to send the phone off to them for repair money

Agreed, not too sure why they do it, I did read something about them saying it was a Budget thing, if you want a cheap phone, restrict the accesibility of the device (e.g. no removable batter and no SD slot)
I prefer to pay more for an external storage

Random theming question.

Hi all just wondering something i know it might sound stupid but anyways...
So i see that there is alot of themes on the play store for cm10.1 and one of them cost 1.99$ (which is great) but it has 5000+ download does that mean that themer just earned himself 10000$??? If so that is just crazy.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Never thought of it lol, cheers to him.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
After taxes... Much less. Google takes quite a bit. And that all depends on how long the theme has been out. That could have been over a period of two years or so. If you wanna do the math again he actually is only really getting 1.40$ per purchase.

At first I noticed no difference but I ran a few test like turning animations off and running apps with and without seeder then did the same with animations on and I do notice a slight speed up when opening apps. Not a huge difference because like someone said this phone is already a speed demon, but there is a slight increase, but then again could be placebo lol.

I posted this on another topic as well that was discussing the seeder app. This is straight from a CM Dev on G+.
" The entropy pool stuff is bull****. The only users of /dev/random are libcrypto (used for cryptographic operations like SSL connections, ssh key generation, and so on), wpa_supplicant/hostapd (to generate WEP/WPA keys while in AP mode), and the libraries that generate random partition IDs when you do an ext2/3/4 format. None of those 3 users are in the path of app execution, so feeding random from urandom does nothing except make random... well... less random"
A lot of tech talk but he goes on "The only reason devices feel faster is because by constantly polling the PRNG, it keeps the device's I/O in constant use (which in turn, depending on device, will make the CPU stick to higher clock frequencies to keep up)"[/QUOTE]

How is this useful? To anyone wondering if it will work or is curious: install the free apk on xda. Try it out. If it helps: great keep using it. If you want, buy the play store version to support the dev. If it doesn't work, good you didn't waste your money now you can go spend your buck and some change on a pack of gum or a soda.

I'm sure most people here understand that concept. Were just discussing. And I think it's pretty useful to hear an experienced devs opinion on an app for our phones I'm sure he understands what goes in with our phones better than we do
