Nexus is here....

I just saw it at the Verizon store.. they can't sell it till tomorrow.
I held it in my hand.. very weird with the curve.. will be great with the ladies..
Will go back in the morning and put it to the test next to my SR..
From what I can tell the only thing good about the phone is ICS..
*EDIT*... Okay.. went out eariler and saw this "wonder phone"... I brought my sr to compare..
People.. this Nexus is nothing.. feels cheap, and feels smaller then the SR.. I can't tell the difference in the screen except mine looks better.... ICS is the only selling point on this phone.. Could I feel a 'difference" well. stock to stock yes. But with different launchers.. etc.. I can't tell my phone from the Nexus..
If you want to pay $300 for a sub par phone with ICS by all means go ahead... I'm keeping the SR.

I just got the email...released today for sale (15th)

I was really considering buying one of the gsm versions then I did some research and found out about the galaxy s2 hd lte which is pretty much the same phone but without ice cream sandwich, but I keep comparing and found the deal breaker, the galaxy nexus does not have micro sd slot which is a android first for me. Sounds like some apple maddness, plus I got a 64gb microsd so that just docent work for me. But hey to each his own

Verizon did a poor job at releasing that phone.
I thought the nexus was going to come out around November so I waited.
My Moto atrix screen was cracked and I couldn't wait any longer. I don't regret buying the Samsung skyrocket best phone I owned so far....

Im tempted due to ICS but in the end it isn't worth switching to Verizon and paying money for a phone that really isn't any better just for ICS .

I had Verizon and the service was subpar. AT&T works amazingly for me with speeds. After owning an iPhone I don't want another phone without an SD slot.
ICS will be available soon enough on our SR.

Engadget (first link that came up on google) says:
...this tablet / phone in-betweener is said to pack a dual-core 1.5GHz MSM8660 -- similar to the HSPA+ 42 and LTE-friendly Qualcomm chipsets found in the Skyrocket and T-Mobile's SGS II. Bear in mind, folks, that this is all still hearsay

Does T-Mobile sell the vibrant or the galaxy s

Helping a friend out and I need to know he has a T-Mobile Samsung or a vibrant. They both have the same model number but before I upgrade his phone I don't want to brick it any help would be appreciated
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

What does it say when it boots up? Did you try looking on T Mobile's website before starting a thread? Are you sure they have the same model number?

They sold it to him as a galaxy s but everything I read is that they are basically the same phone just different regions. Honestly just was curious if someone knew the quick answer being it was bought from a T-Mobile store. Did a search but nothing came up definate. From what I read it should be a vibrant
Sorry guess it could have went into the stupid thread

The model numbers aren't the same. Search the model number of the phone and I bet you get your answer.

Ok vibrant 3g model # SGH-T959
Samsung Galaxy S 4g model #SGH-T959V
Both are TMobile phones
I could go on and on about the differences but ill leave that for you to spec out

Tmobile sells the vibrant.
At&t sells the captivate.

What model is this Samsung phone?

Hi!
Anyone has a clue what model is this Samsung phone? Or is it a replica?
See atachment below.
Thanks in advance!

Would be better to pop back cover pull battery and look to see what is on the sticker and Google the model number listed...

Looks like the samsung note but that one says samsung on the top and not in the bottom

Official Canadian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread [Availability, Discussions, Help, Tips etc]

You may’ve heard that carriers all around the globe where Samsung Galaxy S4 has been launched are struggling to keep up with the enormous demand. In Canada, we’ve seen TELUS offering $50 $100 credit to customers willing to wait for two weeks to get their unit.
Samsung Canada is well aware of the problem not just TELUS but all other operators in the country are facing – there are still not enough Galaxy S4 units out there.
Those who pre-ordered Sammy’s flagship should be getting their phones now. That “should” is there because not everyone will get it at the same time. Pretty much all Canadian carrier issued a statement saying that pre-registration numbers are higher than any other device before, including the S3.
Samsung on its behalf is asking users for understanding. Here’s what they said on Facebook:
Samsung is excited to see the level of pre-orders that Canadian consumers have for the GALAXY S4. Samsung Canada had intended to ship pre-orders by the 27th, but due to the overwhelming global demand of the Samsung GALAXY S4, we will not be able to meet the pre-order date of April 27th for all customers. These orders remain the highest priority with carrier and retail partners and will be fulfilled in the coming days.
No doubt, this is a sweet problem for the Korean company and its shareholders…
Anybody got his hands on it??

I got my Telus galaxy S4 on Saturday at BestBuy.

I have one pre-ordered for May 3rd. Was told it may come sooner, on May 1st.

Would like to see if I can get my hands on one for Bell asap.
OT: should we be discussing the Canadian S4 in the ATT S4 forum now? Seems that info for us is all over the place now:

Can you comment on whether the Telus bootloader is locked? Have you tried to root with the "AT&T" exploit?

I have not attempted to root yet. I do not think the bootloader is locked through. I will root when a custom recovery is avialable and stock rom is as well.

I don't blame you I believe you can tell if the BL is locked by booting into the (stock) recovery? I'll feel much better if Canadian BL's are unlocked as I know I'm going to hate Touchwiz and there's plenty of talk about lag.

There is no lag on my telus s4. There is only one carrier app. The at&t version I hear has lot of bloat. My s4 is lot faster
Than my note 2 and just as smooth.

Could you boot to recovery and look for WRITE PROTECTION: Enable? That'll let us confirm if it's locked or not.

I don't believe we'll be receiving the i9505 in canada. The i9505 only houses LTE Bands 1800 , 2100, 2600, 800 , 900. It's missing 1900, so chances are we are getting the SGH-i337 and i337m which support our LTE freqencies in Canada.

. Adam outler is working on a way to unlock bootloader. Go to the at&t galaxy s 4 forum. They have the same phone model.

But they don't have the same phone model. As you know it's I337 vs. our I337M and bootloader locking comes down to the carrier.

Software is a little different but hardware is the same. Galaxy s 3, note and the note 2 were the same other than the software.

Yes, but my point is that their bootloader being locked is due to a request by AT&T. We do not know if the Rogers, Bell, and Telus requested locked bootloaders yet.

The Canadian carriers might not lock their devices, but if they do, the ATT unlocking method (if/when it comes) will apply to us. Thats why we should be watching that forum much closer than this one.
This thread really is in the wrong forum; what will be released in Canada will have very little to do with the device listed at the top of these forums (the Exynos S4). If you are Canadian I would stay very far away from any exploits posted over here.

Well, to get back on-topic, I just received an email from Fido saying my phone has been shipped to my local store by UPS. I am guessing it will arrive tomorrow.

My position on the reserve dropped from 268 to 263 on launch day at Rogers but I've been sitting at 263 ever since.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 Lte Sgh-I727R Lcd Display

The LCD display on my Galaxy Rogers doesn't work, is all black now, I think the touch screen works but I can't find the lcd screen anywhere, however there are two other S2 Galaxy phones with the same screen size which is 4,52" and I found the replacement. So I was wondering if I can replace it with this screen instead of the actual I727R screen.
I want to know if they are compatible. Thanks for your help.

anyone?

There are lots of exact replacements available on eBay or AliExpress, I wouldn't try something not made for your phone... Typically they are slights different, if I remember right, the II has a hole in the screen for a home button. The Skyrocket aka II LTE does not.

I agree, there are lots of skyrocket specific replacements and Op shoud use that.
As for the north american S2, it doesn't have a home button, just like our phone which also is an S2. However, the rest of the worlds S2 models do have one.

All the 91xx series S II's have a home button, the 727 and 9xx S II LTE series do not. They are very different phone. Samsung really screwed up by naming too many phones S II.
You have 727, get a 727 screen.

I can't find the exact replacement for my phone anywhere, that's why i'm asking. I have the Canadian version of the skyrocket and they both look exactly the same but I don't know if they are compatible.
