Farewell Glacier peeps

My Galaxy Nexus showed up yesterday so I will be moving over there now. It's been great with all of you. I bought this phone off of GOOGLE play website and am very happy with it so far. I'm hoping to find a buyer for my glacier soon cause it's still such a nice phone and would hate for it to just end up in a drawer.

Hey man how much was your Gnexus? $400?
Also, the Galaxy is actually easier to root and stuff, its just the flasghing part that's a bit more annoying... IMHO

Yeah I paid 399 for it. Easy to root and unlock. Flashing rom from cwm recovery just like you can on glacier. Already rooted it and running AOKP rom with franco kernel.

Flashing is actually the same procedure on Nexus CWM as on the Glacier.

I'm running the exact same setup as you. Franco kernel is bomb isn't it? Sounds are nice and the screen even looks better than it already is. Did you get Franco's kernel app control?

Any idea what price you would set the glacier at for sale? I know this isn't the marketplace but I'm curious because I have family members who paid $190 a month ago... but I paid $175 for mine a year ago.... what's a fair market price assuming normal wear/tear

If I had the money to get a new phone right now, I'd sell mine for $125 or just give it to my youngest bro. It still looks new too.

Ride it out!
MT4G is still no slouch. I'm sure once your contracts up something nice will be out by that time.

Yeah, I'm planning to just ride this phone out until the end of the contract (late December). Development is still surprisingly strong, I don't play any graphically intensive games, and the phone never fails me for anything.

My family on my contract wants to switch so I have to keep this phone until two years from June 2011 (someone bought an sgs)
God.

Psh, I can't upgrade for like another 10 months. I want a Gnex, so I might try to get one this summer since I'll be working. I might even try to get a weekend job for that extra $$$.

Not having the money to change phones like underwear, I don't get it either. But i agree not switching to gnex. Only reason I see for the appeal recently is jelly bean, but we will have it up and functioning on our phone soon. Better to just wait for the key lime pie nexus phone.

And throttling, taking good old plans away, "droid" crap, Update's that brake flash player on 4.0 NOT 4.1 and modding the phone so that it asks for wifi 24/7/365/the rest of time.
I was really pissed at them before and now getting better some what. I hope that I can drop my AT&T line some time, but that's less likely now becuase I get very good "4G" or H+ (3-4 out of 4 bars every were there) at were I work with 5Mbs+ DL vs 1-3 bars of verizon "3G" as slow as sprint like 500kbs slow.( That's with both my razr and now my S3 by the way)
Any way flash player better still work or I will likely be going to WP8 for some of flash player to work. ( never did think that was going to happen. LOL)

Thanks! It's hard to tell by the article but I believe that to be true. I still think it's pretty cool for Samsung in general and gives me something to look forward to.

After using a GNEX for the past 6 months, I am actually loving TW. I was running a TW theme on JB to make it look like an S3 but you know what, it still wasn't an S3. Now I have a TW theme and it actually is an S3 : )

No Official JB Update for Verizon S3 Coming! Woah, that was close!

So Samsung offically announced the US devices getting JB and while reading the article is says it is coming to the Galaxy S3 on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and US Cellular. I was like WHAAAAAAAAT!
Then when you scroll down to the chart, is has the Verzion S3 JB update also listed as coming soon. Man, a typo like that can give someone a heart attack.

"coming soon" could mean 2013.

"Coming soon" gets put through the Verizon Wireless translator and becomes "coming way later."

I bet verizon will be the last to update to jb. By then key lime will be out. Rumor has it, it may be announced this november with a few new nexus devices. The cycle just never ends.

It's hard to be patient for newer better operating systems. But I'm loving cleanrom 2.5 and the Google now mod I found here on xda. This phone runs well on pics so I'm hoping jb by Xmas.

Yep. Apparently the ota is coming later as in 2013. Thanks Verizon. Love you cyanogen

Does it really matter? It'll look just like ICS with the same fugly touchwiz all over it. Maybe it'll scroll a little smoother. The only other important addition (google now) we can add already.
JB is such a tiny update I don't see what everyone is getting so worked up about.

Yep, I've already downoaded the Canadian TWRP (since ATT doesn't have one yet) and Slim Bean 4.2.2.
Just waiting on the hack to be released. Dude isn't holding it back for just nothing I'm sure. Prolly is making sure it works consistently on all phones before releasing.
The thing about software hacks... just because it works on one model of phone, doesn't mean it won't break another phone of the SAME model. Stuff like that happens all the time.
Btw, thanks a lot. Now I have three freakin threads on Bootloader that I have to keep refreshing all day.
