No Video Calling App!!
i was just about to make a video call in the SNS only to realized we don't have a build in app for that.
on the SGS the stock dialing app have the video call feature.
is there any 3rd party app to do the same?
or perhaps some one can port over the SGS calling app over for SNS ?

Q: How do I video chat?
Google, unfortunately, did not develop a native app to support video chat and so we must rely on some from the marketplace. Right now, as far as I'm aware, Tango is the only one that has been updated to support video chatting on the Nexus S.

There are a few video apps out...Tango being on the top of my mind right now. Yes, right now the video market kinda sucks for us but I'm expecting the void to be quickly filled by either Google directly via Google Talk and / or by Skype as well (they recently purchased Qik).
There are a number of threads / discussions about this very same topic. I would encourage you to venture over to the General section of the Nexus S and review some of the threads on this topic.
Its been and probably still is being discussed.

You bash on Tango for not being true video calling and you mention the iPhone being hot item. The iphone's facetime is also like tango and is not true video calling (like you describe) it also only works with other iphone4/itouch4 only and wifi only.
You obviously here on the forum reading everything and this "topic" has been discussed before. Seems like you're just making a thread just to further point out/complain something you ALREADY know.

You forgot to mentions Macs. Facetime works with iPhone/Touch/Macs.

what we need is a universal video calling standard, apple initially said that it would make facetime for different platforms but that has yet to happen

I doubt Apple is going to make anything for any other platform besides its own. They did mention opening up facetime so others can integrated or create apps based on it, but not actually make it work for other platforms.

And Tango blows chunks compared to FaceTime, say what you want about Apple but I have yet to see any Video calling App work as smooth as theirs. And yes I've tried Tango over WiFi it's still laggy and choppy.

Yeah tango sucks. I even tried it with my bosses iphone with my ns. It sucked on both ends, so its not a phone issue. Oovoo need to get off their fat... assets... and finish their ns compatibility. Theb we can even video chat to desktops!

Made up story? It's a listing on the bluetooth certification website displaying a variant of a currently existing model.
ATT model is in the works and will be announce...probably within this week as it seems to be finishing up all it's certifications.

How come JCopernicus's thread is merged/moved and subsequently **** upon in like 4 minutes, and there are, what, half a dozen threads in Nexus S general that are out of place? Including a 27 pager that is the EXACT premise of this one..

Wow, AllGamer, you left your own Q&A thread in Nexus S general, moved JCopernicus's here (where it doesn't belong as its hard news NOT rumor).. its a wonder XDA has a NOOB problem, there is no rhyme or reason to any of this

1. I searched the general section and NO thread came up with what was posted *see 3.
2. It wasn't a question that required an answer. (Don't get me started on how ridiculous the QA subsection is).
3. It is new information
4. ???
5. Profit.
I was actually looking for this thread exact thread in my search to post it, but because the QA section is a retarded idea I didn't look inside it. Aside from the fact this thread is from December 6th of 2010, and nearly 150 posts deep. Nobody would bother to look in here for new information even if it was posted.

not new information
it was already posted back on post #92
that's exactly why you search all sub forums not just General
and lets get back on topic, as this going pretty off topic as it is

How is this going off topic since it has everything to do with the ATT Nexus S(the topic of this thread).
The new model variation IS new information, because it was just uncovered today. The announcement of it going to canada is news that has been posted already and is not what I was posting.

You mods need some major improvement in handling and organizing this forum.
Rather than actually cleaning up a mess, you guys just go even further in spamming the forum in trying to make a point. Jeez.
Ironically, the mod put the thread in the wrong forum. *high five*

N00b Crushing Defence Guide
Welcome to the N00b Crushing defence guide.
Things you will need:
To know the rules (Here) - You will not be tested at random
And to use PROPER ENGLISH
Things I don't like:
Spam posts in ROM Dev, IE, Q's
Posting in wrong sections (Unless you ask (In proper English) to have it moved)
Asking for ROM Dev posting permissions from me, or any other Mod to press a magic button and fix it, as we don't have a magic button (Or one that lets you post in ROM Dev )
Posting a Q without the Q tag (Worse than posting a Q in ROM Dev, or is it ) - See illustration
Posting in bad English - See illustration
Patience, not everyone is online at the same time

Sensation
Well; I am brand new here, as well as to Android, (in depth) really! Yes; I owned a Samsung Epic on Sprint, and a LG GX2 on T-mobile, but the GX2 will be going back today. I had some issues with the sim which was replaced, then it happened again and I fixed it. It worked good for a day then started it all over again so they ruled it the device itself.
So I will be learning of course, and then on June 8th I will get my HTC Sensation. Even though I have only had the GX2 for about a week I am dreading reactivating my old Verizon (no contract) phone for 27 days!
However I will be watching here as well as several other sources to figure out as well as get accessories and advice for my Sensation during that time. My GX2 also did not work at all with my Square CC reader, and this specific unit had some other issues as well.
I guess I could go all negative (on LG and T-Mobile) but don't see much point in a focus on that. Plus I will get a better ( I know that's a personal outlook device wise really) phone in the long run. I like the sensation better so it worked out better in the long run.
OK enough rambling this is my initial post here so I am just saying "hello world"!

Can't wait to see your work m8

I appreciate the rules you have laid out badwolfe because grammar is so important in forums. Although, i have pretty bad grammar myself (ironic), i am always trying to improve lol
I am currently in the process of leaving VZW and taking a job working for T-mobile and ill be picking up the Sensation asap! i was pretty active in the root community at droidforums.net since the release of the D1 (droid 1). looking forward to learning about this new device with you all!

ISIS

As has been discussed in other forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047927), ISIS has gone live with the OTA JB for Verizon. I have discussed my experiences in the above thread, but I am starting this thread in the development section, because what I want to know is more relevant to this forum.
Somewhere along the way installing ISIS, I came across a message saying ISIS will not work on rooted devices. I have heard that elsewhere as well. My question is, how true is that? will it no longer work as soon as I root? even if I just root and stay stock and not change ROMs? Is there any way around that? Perhaps can you deny root access in SuperUser/SuperSU to ISIS?
I know many people are just going to say get Google Wallet instead, but believe it or not, I like ISIS better and what to keep it!
Has anyone tried getting to work on rooted or any custom ROMs?
Until now I haven't had a desperate need to root, but I'm planning on going abroad soon and I'm going to need APN access so I can continue to use my phone with a local SIM.

Should the S4 Active i9295 also be added to this forum?

Nlow that the S4 Active i9295 is officially out - should it be added to this forum?
EDIT:
If you feel that a forum for i9295 should exist (either as a separate forum or a sub-forum here or in some other place) PLEASE POST YOUR REQUEST IN THIS THREAD:

Oh, and for f**k-sake, if you vote NO can you please at least make a post and explain why? It seems to be the same CPU and cellular hardware as in the i9505 and the remaining differences to i9505 are very small - much smaller than between i9500 and i9505!

The drivers are different between S4 and S4 Active, at least the screen (I am not sure about camera). However, yes, in my opinion should be added to this forum.
If it were up to me, I would create a forum for S4 with S600 (i9505, Active and Google Edition) and a different on for the i9500

No It shouldn't be added .!

What argument are u use as against ? Can you read before post please , second post in particular....
No great difference, much closer to i0505 than 9500 so therefore yes it should be in same thread

I think that adding another device is brilliant idea.
We have i9500, i9505, duos, let's have some more.
It will give the mods brilliant opportunity for more work related with sorting out posts and the newbies will be more confused having such spread in mods, tweaks. In general, they will have much better possibility to brick their phone.
I already see the future posts: why my I9295 does not have.... or what shall I do if I flashed I9505 ROM into I9295...
Let's have some fun observing this, and let's incorporate one more device to the one which already contains 3...

See how many people are using it.

Realistically, the Active, 9500, and 9505 should be broken up. The US Carrier S4's should be merged to the 9505.

1. Keep your day job, being funny is not your thing.
2. The S3 versions are spread among like 10+ forums and there are still plenty of confused posters.
3. You will still absolutely f**k things if you write stuff from i9500 on i9505, so according to your "logic" the current status is already wrong.

That's good idea.
I don't see a reason to merge I9500 and I9505 - they are totally different phones. I9500 is much closer to I9300 than I9505.
From other side i don't understand why US versions have separate forums while they are 99% the same as I9505. Even ROMs are interchangeable (with little to none exceptions).
SoC should be taken in account while deciding how to group devices.
I really don't see a logic of S4 forum divisions!
from my point of view there should be following forums:
1) GT-I9500 + GT-I9502 + SHV-E300
2) GT-I9505 + All US variants
3) Probably I9295 should have separate forum

This is how I'd classify if the decisions were up to me
Galaxy S4 Main Forum
-- Galaxy S4 I9500
---- All the sub fora (Dev, themes etc)
-- Galaxy S4 I9505 & I9505G
---- All the sub fora
-- Galaxy S4 Zoom
---- Sub fora
-- Galaxy S4 Active (depending on drivers, might be merged with I9500)
---- Sub fora
-- Galaxy S4 LTE-A
---- Sub fora
-- Galaxy S4 Mini
----Sub fora
Blame Samsung for releasing 7(!!!!) different versions of the same phone. This seems to be the most reasonable way to classify it as some vary slightly (I9505 and I9505G) while some have massive differences in hardware (LTE-A and Zoom)
Honestly, I don't think there's a simple way of classifying this. First place owners of the Active and Zoom are gonna look is the Galaxy S4 forum on xda. That's where the fora for the different variations have to be, I suppose. (Now we'll have to have sub-sub-fora!) @Jonny

Thanks, I'll post my suggestion there.
The two original variants were acceptable enough, as different regions occasionally have different hardware. It started getting simply ridiculous from Active and now the LTE-A version is pissing many S4 users off.
I like Samsung but their quantity over quality' attitude towards products coupled with their monotonous design are really beginning to get to me.
I'm not saying their products are crap but they don't seem to be doing enough to distinguish their non-flagships from other devices and even among their own products. Just look at the number of devices released from 2012-2013, I think that's even more than the number of products Apple has in total.

LTE-A is only for Koreans, so I don't sed the problem in that.
I'd like an S4 Active, BUT IT HAS NO ROOT METHODS NOR CUSTOM ROMS AND IT MOST LIKELY WILL NEVER GET THE LATTER (at least not stable CM/PA/AOKP).
So as you said, Samsung Y U DO DIS?!?

Yes, the E330S is exclusive to Korean carriers. However, do you really think that they won't be releasing an international version soon? One equipped with the S800?
It may not be as soon as a couple of months, but it is definitely coming sooner or later.

Disagree. Looked for an S4 Active/ i9295 Forum. But I'm also ok with sub sub Forums. Imo every device should have their on areas.

I don't mind where you put it, but you SHOULD put it somewhere! Right now random posts on the active are growing almost offtopic-like in different subforums, that's not very adequate.

Plan on buying direct from Google for the first time. If I port to a U.S. carrier, will I rely upon them for updates and not get them when Google releases them? Can the carrier, and will they likely, lock the bootloader?

You get the updates directly from Google. Verizon did something incredible were they actually released an update, monthly security patch I believe, even before Google did.

Any guess if the Pixel 3 will suffer from lack of ROM development vs the 3 XL as it has with the Pixel 2 ??

hope most people will get pixel 3.. xl is so damn ugly!

Im in for P3 and the wireless charger.

probably same here!

Thanks for this noob thread! Just watched the live event. Was wondering about the Titan Security chip that they announced in the P3 & Slate. The guy said it "protects the integrity of the OS". Will this prevent rooting and stuff like Xposed?

I would imagine it's not going to help matters. Regardless, Verizon will be utterly locked down.

Is there any confirmation yet of whether the bootloader can be unlocked on the Pixel 3 via the standard `fastboot flashing unlock` if I buy from the google store? I need a phone that supports T-mobile's 600 and 700MHz bands, but don't want to have to compromise my phone just to unlock the bootloader, so am hoping that the Pixel 3 is the device for me.

I second the question regarding the titan chip and rooting. Any thoughts out there if this will prevent rooting?

This is my first time ever being interested in a Google phone with the regular pixel 3, I'm a long time Samsung/HTC guy. I am interested most in the camera, do you lose any functionality when unlocking the bootloader and/or custom roms (AOSP) for the camera? Samsung/Sony both lose basic funtionality and its always been a hhuge turn off. Being "Stock Android" I imagine not but would like to know. I was waiting to see how treble treated the unlockable snapdragon s9 but it seems like treble is useless and the pixel seems more enticing now.
thanks for any help.

My bet is root will be doable but permanent recovery will be very hard.

If anyone sees a review that shows the notification LED, please link it here. Curious to see if it's the same as they did on the Pixel 2.

I'm interested in the sound quality on those pixel USB c earbuds that come in the box. If anyone can find a review or test theirs that would be awesome as I want to get these for my pixel 2

Pixel 3 / 3 XL have no notification LEDs.

That's a bummer. Got used to the LEDs with my OG Pixel. I hope the always on display will make it easier to see notifications at a glance without picking up the phone?
