So this is a quadcore A9X4 chip from Qualcomm? Since it comes out after Snapdragon S4 I assume its faster? Is this going to be called S5?

For those in UK this seems a pretty damn good 12 month deal for the White One X

Phones4u
Vodafone
300 minutes, unlimited texts, 500MB data

£36 x 12 = £432

I think with phones4u the phone would be sim free as well. Not a lot of minutes but in theory your getting the phone cheaper than if you bought it outright.

it's a Snapdragon S4 SoC, just with 4 cores instead of 2.

So long as there's community support, I'm good. Post sales support for the less technically inclined is a must though.

I think LG is doing their own chips this time around.

hey thanks a lot man

So I just ordered the One X from AT&T. They actually price matched Sam's/Amazon by giving me a $50 credit because I voiced concerns about keeping my unlimited data plan when upgrading with a 3rd party. Just an fyi if you're looking to get the phone for $150.

Just saw an update go by at work. Apparently, to go along with the cancelling of the Skyrocket HD, the regular GSII (i777) is now EOL as well. Clearing the way for the GSIII next month?? Seems likely.

well look at that, they really are going to get it over here soon

It would appear so. The Ion is the only other phone coming any time soon (maybe?). I would imagine the LG Optimus LTE 2 will arrive at some point as the Nitro 2, but that's about it for the next few months. Seems like a prime time for the GSIII to come.

Will SuperOneClick root an ICS device? My rooted Galaxy SII Skyrocket is get an OTA ICS update...but I'm worried if I confirm, I won't be able to re-root once the update is done.

Halp?

You sure about that? I have a Skyrocket as my work phone, and the current OTA release software is 2.3.6 (LA3).

can't you just flash a pre-rooted ICS compatible kernel with Odin after updating?

woot woot, hopefully it keeps the button. I like physical buttons...

[Hieberrr]

So, I'm testing out some ICS ROMs for the i9000 and I don't know which one to choose!

Should I stick with the CM9 Nightlies or stay with Slim ICS?

I need it to be as stable as possible (so no sleep screens of death or random reboots).

Help me Android-Gaf! I'm leaving my beloved and stable GB MIUI :'(

After AT&T locked down bootloaders on their HTC One X, it seemed like a bad omen for potential HTC customers on other carriers that like to tinker around with their devices. Well, if you were worried that about the HTC EVO 4G LTE receiving similar treatment, it looks like Sprint isn’t imposing the same restrictions as AT&T has. According to AndroidCentral, The LTEvo is currently supported by HTCDev’s bootloader unlock tool, and users (if they so choose) can unlock their devices and get some root all up in’nit. Only problem, when it comes to HTC’s unlock method, that’s about all you can get. To clarify, the bootloader unlock tool wont give a device “S-Off” functionality. HTC has actually gone through great lengths to ensure that all the “fun stuff” that comes with what I like to call, “full root” — flashing AOSP ROMs, kernels, deleting bloatware, custom recoveries, etc. — cannot be done by traditional methods (flashing zips from recovery for instance), but have to be done using the PC (thanks, Earl!). So, for those hoping to run custom AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod and AOKP or MIUI, you will just have to wait until a full root method can be found and exploited. Considering how development for the HTC One X has been making ground, I’d say those chances are looking pretty good. It’s not much, but it’s a step. The cat and mouse game continues…

isn't there a stable build, like a RC or beta?

the nightlies aren't always stable.



right now i'm about ot update from CM9 beta 2 to CM9 beta 3 on my SGS1 Epic 4G

I am about to get rid of the Galaxy Nexus and get the att One X.

anyone done the same and made the switch.

hows the reception compare to the gnex?

seem like the One x is superior in every way compare to the gnex.

its a temporary phone till the GS3 comes out.

There are some that claimm o be "stable", but they all come with a bunch of BS that I don't need. I tried out Slim ICS for a bit and I wasn't a fan of it, so now I'm on the CM nightly (which is running surprisingly well).

I actually saw something similar a few years ago on discovery. Some guy had a mirror in his bathroom that told him the weather, news, weight etc. It even let him control water temperature for his bath/shower and let him view the back of his head with a camera on the opposite end.

One X has Sense. How about no.

GSIII looks like a nice spec bump from GSII and Nexus but it also has Touch Wiz.

Did you get the 2.3.6 OTA before? I didn't get it for quite some time, and only ever got it because I checked manually. I'm wondering if that is what your phone is getting now. The official ICS update should be coming fairly soon, but I don't think that is what you are getting now.

what an utterly useless tool, don't understand why HTC feels it's important for them to do this.

After hopping around for a while I stuck with ELITE I suggest sticking to CM9 if its stable for you though. Elite has not let me down yet so no intention of changing, slim pics was a bit slow.

Picked up a Transformer Prime. Anybody know of a quick and easy way to transfer my phone's bookmarks to the tablet?

Didn't see any bookmarks folder when plugging them both up to my PC.

[Hieberrr]

What's the best browser with tabs? I can't stand the stock and Chrome browsers I'm gonna give Opera a try. Hopefully that's better.

Also is there any way to display more dates and stuff on the stock calendar widget?

I've always used Dolphin, though it seems like it can bog things down a bit if your phone is underpowered.

Ah thanks. I gave it a whirl and I hated it.

WHY GOOGLE.... Y U MAKE BAD STOCK BROWSER O__O

[Copernicus]

Bad stock browser? Wat.

Enable quick controls and using tabs is painless.

[Threi]

Opera is the best for quickly switching between tabs imo.

Don't really like chrome that much, i think ICS Browser+ is better.

[Hieberrr]

Bad stock browser? Wat. Enable quick controls and using tabs is painless.

It's pretty terrible for me, because I'm used to the MIUI browser, which had both tabs and the address bar. Bookmarks were also a click away.

bookmarks are still a click away. A long hold on I think back brings them right up

[Achtius]

So I just discovered Pocket (read it later), my commute will never be the same.

[BootlegSnackz]

question about the chrome browser...

When I double click in the stock browser, it rearranges the text formatting to fit the screen, but in the chrome browser, it just zooms back and makes the text smaller, defeating the purpose of the whole action...


but this one time i touched the screen (really not sure what happened as I can't make it happen again) the text rearranged to fit the screen.

Does anyone know how I can make that happen on a regular basis? what's the trick?

thanks in advance..


oh also: I wish I could get the actual apk and .odex files of the ics sms app. not sure what this junk is in the market, but it looks like it, but sms acts funny and I always get double messages. I want the system app. Can't wait for bootloader unlock and cm9 on this beast, but just trying to make my time with Sense (and AT&T for that matter).

[quaere]

Firefox is finally getting close to being a contender. Once the tech in the current nightly hits stable it will at least be in the same ballpark as Chrome.
