From what I can tell, it's completely stopped... We have someone that's gonna work on our gingerbread theme, but that's about it...

It kind of sucks, But atleast somthings being done. I just wish a dev had this phone so they would want to work on it lol.

Imnuts and Adrynalyne both said they would dedicate more time to our phone if someone sent this phone to them...

I figured that it was bound to happen sooner than later but I think if samsung step in and dish out some froyo or maybe even a little bit of gingerbread that things would open up and more devs would get their hands on this ticker (which is getting kind of old BTW)

so how much money would each of us nerdy Continuum owners have to donate to purchase a Continuum somewhere?
I lament that lack of activity on this forum. Coming from an HTC Diamond and then the Hero, I have had trouble adjusting to a phone that no one has or cares about.
And what is most annoying is that this phone blows the crap out of my previous two phones.
Let's buy these friendly devs a Continuum and watch as the pleasures of Continuum ownership increase exponentially.

I'm in. Let's do it.

I'll donate too
I can't do much beyond rooting because of my parents, but it'd be nice to see some real development.

I'm in too..
All of us, lets keep our eyes open on ebay and craigslist for one... And in the mean time see if we can get all of "us" to pledge some cash

yeah realistically (after bubby closed up shop and skipped town) adryn/imnuts would need a continuum in front of them to do stuff for you.
although you guys do have a dl17 debloated rom, so thats something.
but theres no 2.2 continuum leaks/source so it would still be 2.1 stuff

did bubby every return the continuum that someone sent him to work on?

I won't lie...I've shied away because its just too risky to do what I do without a device to work with as well.

$200 bucks would get them mine. Hell im near ready to set it on fire just to make me feel better. Buying a used Incredible tonight to replace it. This includes the Multimedia Dock.

I have someone shipping me a continuum.

Can anyone talk me out of...

..buying the Galaxy S3, and instead waiting for the next Nexus?
I'm sick of waiting for a new hardware qwerty to come out (will it ever?) and my Vision is really starting to show it's age, looks and performance-wise.
So I need a new phone, like yesterday. The S3 is begging me to buy it. Can you convince me otherwise?

Sure. Just send me the $ you'd spend on the GS3 and you can't buy it. Done deal.

Have you looked into the HTC Doubleshot?
It's a great qwerty phone that I've been using for the past few months to replace my old G2
And we've been getting a good amount of dev action recently too. Check out the threads

You're sick of waiting. Your Vision is starting to suck. Get the best phone right now, rather than waiting. Waiting is generally silly when it comes to tech. Sorry to not be talking you out of the S3, but it's going to blow your G2/Vision away, even without the QWERTY..
I'm thinking of doing the same, because it seems that we won't get a decent, customizable phone with a hardware keyboard in the foreseeable future..

For what it's worth, if Google goes with Samsung the next Nexus will prob be a slightly tweaked GSIII.
Don't keep looking toward the horizon, find a phone you like now (or the near future) and get it. Something better is ALWAYS coming.

I agree with Nospin pretty much. Keep your G2 for now. There aren't many phones right now that are very much comparable IMO. I've got ICS running on mine and its lightening fast. Every time I go to check out the new phones I can't help but think mine is slightly better of just as good. So why spend the money on something new when you don't need it? Just keep flashing away until you find something that fits you, but again IMO, be like me and go with Adromadus Audacity...its a great ROM.

well I was talking about the looking toward the horizon part. Better to just stick with the G2 for now as there are all of these "better phones" out now. Wait it out until something REALLY good catches your eye, for now the G2 does what all of the new phones do if not more.

Buy one off eBay. Or I'm willing to sell you my spare if you don't mind paying shipping costs (PM me)
EDIT: if there are any devs that would like to get into this device, please PM me. I can sort you with a device for a lot less than what you normally would pay, possibly even free
This is NOT an advertisement. Just trying to stimulate development for our device

[Q] *** I really need Informations - Help *** T-Mobile T999

Hi there.
I recently purchase a T-Mobile - T999 mobile via ebay. I am from Greece and, here, the cost for a samsung galaxy s3 is almost double....
I still own my international galaxy s i9000 but i thought it was time for a change.
Box is sealed and i ll have it on my hands in less than 3 days.
I did a big research, unfortunately after the purchase, and i realised that.
1. It seems that I9300 is faster than USA versions. Well i have seeen only tests where those guys were always used task manager to close apps and then they had a new test run etc. I didnt saw those mobiles, one next to the other with a normal daily usage. More apps on the backround etc. Is someone here who have made a test like that? Is it a big difference or not?
2. I realised that international roms cant be used on the usa models. Whats the negative on that? Will i be able to use Greek language, menu on it? Models like T999 use certain roms from t-mobile? If yes probably i am going to have a rom with many unuseful apps etc?
3. I found some ways to unlock it. If i unlock it can i unroot it after and use another rom? Will i always be unlocked whatever rom whatever flash i do? Or i should contact t-mobile and ask - pray for an unock code?
4. Do you believe if its wise to wait a bit for the new international model i9305 and sell my t999? Or stay like it?
5. The guy who from i bought that handset was the 2nd owner (weird) and he is trying to get me the receipt for service reasons. Is there a way to ask for the warranty f i dont get that receipt?
I am not sure what to do or what to expect. I am making a small invest here and since i am always keepng my mobiles for 2-3 years at least.... i need any kind of information that can be usefull.
I will appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you all in advance and forgive my poor English.
Regards

Any help guys?

The tmobile roms will not work on any other device unless stated. I don't think tmobile will hand you an unlock code so I wouldn't expect that.
Speed wise you won't noticed a difference between the international version and us one for day to day use.
If you root it then you can uninstal any apps you don't want.
As for language you might not have much luck with foreign language with a us model.
Edit: I could be wrong, With unlocking the carrier, it should stay no matter what tmobile rom you flash.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

1. Probably not much difference. Intnl has faster processor but US version has more ram. They are both likely fast enough for just about anyone.
2. No on Greek language. Plenty of roms and development and getting better still. Yes there's lots of bloatware to remove once you root.
3. Not sure. Its been asked a few times and no one has ever said they lost unlock status from rooting and flashing. I'd be surprised if it did, but I can't be sure.
4. No idea. Judging by #5 if you can recoup all your money it might be a good idea. As far as how much better the 9305 is, I have no idea.
5. Its been owned by 2 people before you? And its never been opened? Yeah it sounds weird. I wouldn't buy that personally. Too much risk. Lots of people get scammed from deals that start that way. Here in USA if the original owner bought it on a payment plan then sold it without fully paying for it T-Mobile would block all service to the phone. So the new buyer would be out a ton of money and have a pretty Samsung version of an iPod.
Not sure about warranty.
Couple things...I don't know how much twice as much is there, but you should be able to get an i9300 for pretty close to the same price as the T999 here. (Another reason I wonder about your purchase). If you found the T999 over here you should be able to find the other as well. Am I guessing right that you got 'a really good deal' on eBay or something like that? Be careful.
Tip: in the future try to slim you post down a bit. You had 5 points with multiple questions in each. That's a lot of asking which requires a lot of answering. I speak only for myself but I generally skip posts this long until later. I'm quite certain most people would open the thread an close it before finishing #3. (In case your wondering why you haven't got an answer yet.)
Just trying to help so don't take anything the wrong way. It just gets to be tedious, difficult and unenjoyable when there is so many questions all at once. (It took about the same time to answer you as it would to answer 5 or 6 others)
Good luck!

Thank you both for your answers - opinions.
Well to be honest my cousin is coming from NY tomorrow so i wouldnt pay extra shipping costs + country taxes. Price wasnt bad i believe 510$ even tho i knew that there were better prices but i didnt had much time for extra search. That ebay guy had very good rep but i never thought to ask if he was the 1st owner since the box was sealed. When i did asked him was 2 late. As for the differences between the two models... i learned about the different cores when was 2 late as well. I always thought that they had same core but us models had more ram. Language isnt such a problem tho.
As for my many questions. You are absolutely right. But since my cousin is flying tomorrow i was thinking if i should let him bring it with him or if i should better askk him to keep it until i sell it at ebay. Thats why all these questions. Nowdays isnt the best period for bad investments... especially in Greece...
Thanks again.

Yeah, I know sometimes there isnt enough time. Hope I was able to help you at least a little.
Was just thinking though, if you dont have or dont use tmobile over there, unlocking the phone for another carrier should bypass any potential problems with tmobile blocking it if that were the case. Also, if you are not currently a tmobile customer and using the phone on their network, they will not give you the unlock code, or so im told anyway.
$510 seems reasonable. Id have been more worried if it was $300! Still an odd situation with that though.
Only other thing I would really check on if I were you is to make sure your carrier supports the correct bands for the phone to function on their network.
It is a great phone and we have great devs. This forum is awesome too, have some great people here.
So if you keep it I guess we'll see you again!

Unlocking that phone it seems easy from i have read until now. After all since it has never been switched on probably it wont be locked etc. Of course i am not going to use t-mobile here.

As for the devs you wont find better devs anywhere else... for sure !!!
Thanks again.

My classmates from Frances with 2 international versions and test against mine. It's really about the same. Sometimes mine is faster because I am on Jelly Beans and my ROM is super lean. International version chip may not support T-mobile band especially 4G so beware - 1700mhz.
My US phone is very responsive to all operation. The 4cores is better than bigger RAM but they only give you micro seconds faster in daily usage so it really don't worth the trouble.

[Q] I'm screwed, dropped a friend's n7 on the 2nd day

Seadra said:
He bought it yesterday , so I'm really ****ed. I talked to him on the phone and he was somewhat crying as he was hardly able to afford this after selling his laptop , as it's in India and it's really expensive in India. He didn't buy it from Google, so no RMA there.
I dropped it, sides got scratched :crying:. The scratches isn't on the back cover or the display. It's on the very sides (between the screen and the back) I don't know what that part is called, it's a glossy black which is rounded on the screen, may as well be a part of the screen.(I hope not)
I can I think afford 30-40$ max to get his tablet fixed, not more than that unfortunately. He bought it for 390$(Indian price).
Please Please, help a fellow member out I was about to root this thing for him so he can have some goodies but sooo unfortunate of this event. It's 12AM right now and I will be meeting him at 11AM tomorrow and I really don't want him to get much worried(not that he already is) and he is my best friend so that can ruin our friendship aswell :crying::crying::crying:

Not sure how you're going to find that particular part for it, much less find it for 40 bucks or less, maybe buy him a fosman TPU case to cover up the markings.
Might be helpful if you posted a pic.

You can't repair the screen like that.
Full replacement or none at all.
Either he forgives you which is going to be hard, under the circumstances you mentioned or you sell your Nexus 5 and buy him a new Nexus.
Then, take his old Nexus, sell it and buy another phone for yourself.

Wow! Definitely sucks for both of you! Sometimes doing a favor for a friend will turn around and bite you on the ass! I'm not going to comment about if you end up having to sell your N5 to make it right and your parents have a problem with it. I think you know that you have to make it right, even if it means using a dumb phone for a while. Talk to your friend, see what he wants you to do, suck it up!

Well. After only having this phone for a couple months I've learned the screen is not to great at handling falls lol. I dropped it and the screen is broke. It still works and the touchscreen works but I'm gonna get a new one from Walmart ina couple days. Would any devs be interested in wanting this model when I get the new one?

No devs have claimed this yet

I'll claim it! I'm not a dev, I don't want to mislead you...
But I'd pay for shipping and your time, if no one else wants it.
I really like these phones... I have one myself, and I'd like for my fiance' to try it out (gotta pry the iPhone away from her though!).
Just lemme know if you're interested in getting rid of it to a non-developer. Thanks and take care!

If no devs decide to take up on the offer withing the next week then we can talk. But I will say again the screen is pretty spiderwebbed. I'm using it as I type this so it is still functional. But tbh I'll screw myself on the money saying this lol just go up to Walmart and get it. They sell it here in Ohio for 83.44 after taxes. Not sure what state your in so the taxes might be slightly higher but yeah the moto g6 play is sold cheaper at Walmart than boost Mobile themselves sell it for. They sell it for I believe 129.99 at boost Mobile stores and online so Walmart is the place to go lol

I'd consider it, but my current problem is that I don't even have enough time to properly maintain the device I currently support, let alone taking on yet another device. If nobody has claimed this device in a few months once my other devices (msm8916 family, msm8610 family, perry) are in good shape on LOS 15.1 or LOS 16, then I'd consider taking on this device. However, as of now, I just don't have time to take on yet another device. Sorry. Hopefully someone else will come along to take on this device - Motorola devices are popular with developers.
