Nope. Ill whip something up eventually. Embroirdery is really fun to just sit and zone out and do. For some reaosn I think the aesthetic would lend itself really well to an android banner. Idk, I just need some inspiration. I've also been wanting to scan something for a long time now. Scanning things awesome.

Perhaps the best response to 'is that a mockup?' would be to post this again:

Nothing like AMOLED blacks on a display man, That shit blends right into the bezel, you can barely see where the two start and end. Terribly hard to go back to those other screen types after having one of these.

What are the odds the Nexus Prime is being released simultaneously on VZ, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile? That would be sweet.

Is it safe to assume that since the Nexus One and the Nexus S are both compatible with Wind mobile, that this one will be as well?

Prime is running a clean version of icecream right? It looks so damn smooth that I would assume its a developer UI
I can't wait to see the new ice cream phones.... |

Help please...
I tried to flash CM7 onto my unlocked motorola Atrix 4g. Before doing so, I made a restore with Clockwork recovery and proceeded to flash the CM7 beta found on XDA. Before flashing, I made sure to wipe data/cache. After doing this, my phone is stuck on the boot screen. I tried using the backup that I made to restore, but it says "can not find system.info" and finished. Then when rebooting it is still stuck at the boot screen. Worst of all, my battery is now dead and wont charge! I searched and did some things in fastboot to try to fix it, but whenever I try to use fastboot, it gets stuck on "waiting for device". Is there any way that I can save my phone or am I done for? |

I know I've said this already, but honestly, battery life is now the only thing that dictates whether I get the 4GS or the Nexus Prime. I'd prefer to get the Prime (sick of the iPhone), but battery life is very important to me. The last Android phone I used temporarily was the HTC Desire, and the battery life was awful.

I dont doubt some are better than others (I have no idea where OLED screens rank in this area) but I feel safe saying they probably all suck at it, just at varying degrees. |

Really wish Sprint had gotten their act together on LTE sooner. Will be another 10 months (at least) before I can upgrade from the Evo 4G. Jealous of the Prime.
On another note, though, the Google Music 4.0 client is great. I finally prefer it to the iPhone interface. I'm assuming with them giving away free music that the Google Music Store can't be too far away now? |

i dunno, everything just seems super complicated - but i think its just because its my first smartphone.
the only apps i have so far are something that makes the camera flash a torch (super useful) and juice defender (because the s2's battery sucks) - are there some other 'must have' apps? one thing i've noticed is typing out an sms is taking me 50 times longer with alot more mistakes than with my old phone, again probably due to this being the first time i have used a touch screen. does it just take getting used to, or should i look for a different app or something? can you recommend a good clock/alarm app or widget? the default one just takes ages, because i have to go through the menu and then set it each morning (for some reason i can't make a shortcut on my home screen, i have no idea why?) - would like something on my home screen if possible. also, what is the point of having 7 home screens? edit: what is launcherpro? i have read that everyone uses it, and looked at a few screenshots...but still have no idea what it does or what is the advantage of using it. sorry for all the stupid questions. |

As far as keyboards go, yeah you'll get used to it, but you might be interested in downloading one of the many custom keyboards out there. I personally use the stock android gingerbread one, but many people like swype and swiftkey and I'm sure quite a few others. |

Is there a mod for the stock android samsung rom (2.3.5) for GS2 to save battery life ? I think I read on XDA that most custom roms save energy by switching the phone to a "sleep mode" when the screen is shut off. Thanks.

I use my phone a lot so I tend to charge it every day anyway but with light use I think it would easily last 3-4 days. In your Settings/Applications/Battery Usage, does you Screen On line match your Awake line when you click the graph? It should, if it doesn't then something is running in the background stopping it from sleeping. |

thanks so much for the replies zbeeb, originalThinking and touchmybox - i didn't know about the long press/homescreen thing so that helps alot.
a few more... zbeeb - i can't find how to turn the dictionary on, i looked under settings and still can't see it anywhere. milofox - the longest my gs2 has lasted is about 2 days with minimal use. i just checked my battery usage and my screen on time does not match my awake line at all, do you know what could be up? the phone isn't rooted, i have juice defender (could this possibly be it?) and i have wi-fi and GPS off.
